A foundation for cultural continuity.
CBFHK — the Chu Bong Foo Culture Foundation Hong Kong — exists to help culture remain alive across generations. We work at the intersection of heritage, education, and the technologies shaping the next century.
Preserve what matters. Renew what must endure.
We document and safeguard cultural heritage; we support those reinterpreting it through contemporary practice; and we build the educational and institutional frameworks that allow culture to outlive any single generation.
A Hong Kong where heritage and innovation strengthen one another.
We envision a future where cultural literacy is as foundational as digital literacy — where the next generation reads its inheritance with the same fluency it brings to new tools.
Four commitments.
Cultural integrity
We treat heritage as living context, not decoration. Our work respects its sources and the communities that carry them.
Generational responsibility
We measure success in decades. Every initiative is designed to outlive its founders.
Open knowledge
We favour shared archives, open publications, and education that compounds. Knowledge held back is knowledge lost.
Future-facing stewardship
We engage actively with AI, digital media, and emerging tools — shaping them so that cultural nuance is not lost in translation.
The legacy of Chu Bong-Foo.
Chu Bong-Foo (朱邦復) is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Chinese-language computing. His invention of the Cangjie input method made the Chinese script keyboard-accessible — a quiet but profound act of cultural preservation in the digital era.
CBFHK is established in his name to continue this lineage of work: ensuring that the languages, scripts, and cultural systems of the Chinese-speaking world remain first-class citizens of every technology that comes next.
