兒時避之則吉的課本，今天卻成為我們的美好集體回憶。

Our society is made up of individuals from all walks of life. Yet, there is one thing that ties us all together: the old sayings of our city written in our textbooks from school days. Textbooks were like classmates whom we saw every day. Never would we, as students, thought about a day when textbooks would bring us fond memories of our time at school.

由南豐紗廠主辦及舊課本合辦的《舊課本——那些美好的風景》展覽，將於南豐紗廠紗廠坊展出一系列陳年課本及過去學校帶來種種回憶的物件。南豐紗廠希望透過展示舊課本及其內容，讓大家了解更多不同年代的基礎教育內容、常識及社會面貌，從這些課本中認識當今社會在文化、價值觀及世代的變遷。展覽以學校和教育為主題，以大家似曾相識的經歷，喚起每一位的共鳴，重拾美好的舊時光。

Organized by The Mills and the exhibition partner Old Textbooks, the “Old Textbooks: The Good Old Days” showcases old textbooks and school-related objects in the last decade. Through displaying these school materials from different generations, the exhibition aspires to stir reflections on how our values, culture and landscape have changed as our society moves through different stages. By flipping through and revisiting these nostalgic pages, we hope that it will bring back heartfelt stories from youth, and possibly, trigger a reunion of old friendships.
