In this talk, Damien will share nine personal anecdotes that capture pivotal moments from his professional and teaching journeys. These stories range from challenging situations that taught valuable lessons, to moments of quiet realization and growth, many of which were inspired by the wisdom and guidance of others. Expect a mix of familiar challenges, relatable insights, and provocative beliefs that have emerged from these experiences. Rather than resorting to grandstanding clichés, Damien will try to offer an honest glimpse into the everyday struggles and triumphs of professional life. The session aims to provide practical perspectives and gentle encouragement for translation and interpreting students on their quest to discover who they are and what they really want. Join us for a candid and grounded discussion that promises to be as informative as it is inspiring.

The core of Mengzi’s philosophy is his claim that human beings have natural and spontaneous affective responses that lead them toward being good. That is the basis for his claim that our natural tendencies (xing 性) are good, but virtue requires extending and modifying these feeling so that they arise in all of the appropriate circumstances. We might all have a feeling of panic and concern in seeing a child in danger, but a sage will feel the same sense of urgency toward the suffering of the people, even if they are strangers and their suffering is not immediately witnessed. Interpreters of the Mengzi usually approach this “extension” of emotions on the level of judgments and analogy, but in this paper I argue that the cultivation of emotions must be approached on a more fundamental phenomenological level. The goal of cultivation is to shape oneself so that the world appears in a certain way. I begin by showing how, in the mid to late Warring States period, Chinese philosophers began to claim that deliberate judgments and arguments depend on and are shaped by how the world appears to us. I then show how this concern with the appearing of the world grounds Mengzi’s account of cultivating emotions. In the last part of the paper, I argue that, for Mengzi, sagely perception diverges from an ideal of accurate perception, situating Mengzi’s view in relation to the Zhuangzi.

Our hearts are full of pride as we look back on an evening where the past, present, and future of the arts converged. Dean, Faculty of Arts, Professor Max Xiaobing Tang, Associate Dean (Publicity and Outreach) Professor Wong Nim Yan, Professor Leung Yuen Sang and Professor Lai Ming Chiu, Department of History and Mr. Daniel Cheng, Director of Alumni Affairs Office together with our Arts alumni from across the decades joined us for a walk down memory lane and a glimpse into the future.

Professor Leung captivated everyone with personal stories and an inspiring vision for the role of arts in society. The audience participated enthusiastically in the Q&A session with thoughtful discussions and engaging conversations, showcasing the spirit of our Faculty.

The Faculty would like to express our gratitude to everyone who joined us last Friday. The next distinguished alumni lecture will be organised in March 2024. Details will be announced in due course. Stay tuned for more updates.

The Department of Chinese Language and Literature at The Chinese University of Hong Kong is delighted to commemorate its 60th anniversary by holding the “Poetry and Couplet Writing Contest Award Ceremony”, cordially inviting students, staff and alumni of CUHK to join this momentous occasion.

This dissertation research investigates literature on Islam in modern China, particularly since the beginning of the reform and opening period. As part of the research project “The Modern Religious Bookshelf: Canons, Concepts and Communities”, the study focuses on the organization of literature, paying attention to actors and networks engaged in literary practices like classification, publication and circulation.. In short, the research scrutinizes what kind of knowledge on Islam was produced and how this knowledge became manifest in the prints filling Chinese bookshelves.
