On April 30, 2025, the General Education Department of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences held a cultural lecture themed "Macau Memories" at HG03 in the Taipa Campus. Yang Guanjie, the assistant editor-in-chief of the Macao Daily, was invited as the keynote speaker. Through interpreting the historical connotations of Macau's ancient buildings, the lecture led students to deeply feel the unique cultural heritage of this city.

Yang Guanjie first introduced the founding background of the Macao Daily. The newspaper was established on August 15, 1958. This date not only marks the beginning of the news industry in Macau but also has special historical significance - it is the anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. She emphasized that since its inception, the newspaper has adhered to the principles of press freedom and freedom of speech. At the same time, by choosing this date, it reminds Macau residents to remember history and enhance national identity.

Subsequently, Yang Guanjie sorted out the 65-year development history of the newspaper. She pointed out that the Macao Daily has always kept pace with the times. Starting from traditional print media, in 2011, it launched a mobile application. In 2016, it introduced video news and live reporting. The newspaper has continuously adapted to technological changes and promoted innovation in media forms. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2023, relying on efficient online communication, the newspaper not only ensured the smooth flow of information but also significantly increased the click-through rates of its app and official account, further consolidating public trust.

At the end of the lecture, the Macau Memories series documentary produced by the Macao Daily was played on site. This series delves into communities for interviews and explores the stories behind historical buildings such as A-Ma Temple and Ruins of St. Paul's, vividly presenting Macau's cultural context through images. Yang Guanjie said that recording these "urban memories" is not only to enable contemporary Macau residents to better understand their hometown but also to let more people understand this unique intangible cultural heritage city through this means, so that Macau's history and culture can be better passed down.

This lecture, with rich cases and vivid images, enabled students on site to deeply appreciate the diversity and inclusiveness of Macau's culture and provided new ideas for the inheritance and innovation of urban culture.
