(MIAMI, NOVEMBER 9, 2011) On Friday, November 4th, a reception at the Main Library kicked-off the opening of Retracing Our Steps: A Photo Journey through 100 Years of the Republic of China - a series of historical photographs that explore the Republic of China’s development over the past century. The exhibit runs through January 12, 2012.

Taiwan’s Consul General Ray Mou invited guests to step back in time and explore his country through these images. The Library System, in partnership with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Miami, brought the exhibit to the Main Library. It was developed by the Government Information Office of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The images illustrate the nation’s transformation and the blossoming of diversity, creativity and tolerance. The exhibition also helps to recognize the 2012 Art of Storytelling International Exchange Partner – Taipei Public Library in Taiwan.
