Chung Chi College Language Enhancement Task Group Chinese Series: Chinese Reading Club

Chung Chi Updates / Activities

 

The activity for Chinese Language Enhancement Programme: Chung Chi College Chinese Reading Club, will be held on 30th Sep. The Chinese Reading Club is organized by the teachers from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature: Prof. WONG Nim Yan, Prof. SIU Chun Ho and Dr. MAN Ying Ha.

 

This month, we will share a Chinese Philosophy classic: Confucius: The Analects. The selected book Confucius: The Analects was translated by Professor DC Lau. In this monumental translation, an attempt has been made to interpret the sayings as they stand. It is hoped that this gives a truer understanding of Confucius' thought than the traditional interpretation. Through the reading club, participants can discuss the importance of The Analects in the history of Chinese thought and its relevance to the present day world.

 

In order to encourage students to read, full-time undergraduate students of Chung Chi College who signed up for the reading club will receive the novel for free. Registered students can collect their books from the University bookstore - The Commercial Press with their receipt of deposit, confirmation email and the student ID card. Quota for free book is limited. First come, first served. Refreshments are also provided during the reading club.
