Ma Jian will attend the Hong Kong International Literature Festival lecture today. The venue is the "Grand Museum" of the old Central District Police Station, which has the legal monuments in Hong Kong and the activated project.On Thursday (8th), the Grand Museum suddenly refused to borrow the field on the grounds that he was unwilling to "become a platform that promoted his political interests" and caused an uproar protest in Hong Kong's art and literature community.After Ma Jian arrived in Hong Kong the evening before, the attitude of the Grand Museum changed again. Director Jian Ningtian issued a statement and expressed his willingness to provide the venue.
