SUMMARY:Railways and Reunions - SACU Public Event
DESCRIPTION:This year our AGM will be preceded by a public event which we are delighted to have jointly organised with the Manchester Consul General of the Chinese Embassy.  In brief we are planning a joint event which we will host to mark the 110th Anniversary of the Chinese Revolution. \n  \nWe will bring together family members of Sun Yat-sen and James Cantlie who played such a critical role in helping Sun Yat-sen when he fled to London in 1896. The event will include: \n  \n\nvideo film of the Chinese locomotive now located in York Railway Museum [James Cantlie’s son was advisor to Chinese railways]\nReunion by Zoom between members of Sun Yat-Sen’s family in China and James Cantlie’s family members in UK: to be facilitated by Dr Frances Wood\, SACU Vice-President\nSACU President Michael Wood talks about railway history ‘To change the face of China’\, looking at China’s first diplomatic mission to the UK in 1877\, and the engineer Rowland Stevenson’s plans for the future of Chinese railways.\n\nZoe Reed\, SACU Chair\, will host the event in person. \n  \nBecause of the time difference and to accommodate the availability of Sun Yat-Sen’s family the event is to be held at 10.30am UK time. \n  \nThis will be SACU’s first in-person meeting since lockdown so we do hope some people will join us in person but recognise that others may still prefer to attend by Zoom. \n  \nThis is a free public event in person and online with registration on Eventbrite. We ask all SACU members to please register on Eventbrite to take part whether you intend to join in person or online by Zoom. We will send everyone the Zoom links nearer the time: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/railways-and-reunions-sacu-x-manchester-chinese-consulate-public-event-tickets-169933189745

SUMMARY:1921 (film) - SACU Co-Sponsors Special Online Screening
DESCRIPTION:This is a special online screening of ‘1921’\, a full length feature film produced to mark this year’s centenary of the Communist Party of China. It is set against the background of the intense class struggle waged by the young Chinese working class in Shanghai in particular. The action also takes us to Moscow\, Paris and elsewhere. Key early Chinese communists like Li Dazhao\, Chen Duxiu\, Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping all feature in this not to be missed film. \nA review by Friends of Socialist China co-editor and SACU member Keith Bennett can be read online. \nPlease note the film is in Mandarin Chinese with English subtitles. \n\n\nWho is organising the screening?\nThis event is organised by Friends of Socialist China\, in coordination with Trinity Cine Asia. SACU is a co-sponsor along with the Morning Star\, the Geopolitical Economy Research Group\, the International Manifesto Group\, and Qiao Collective. \nHow does the online screening work?\nAt the start time (7pm Britain\, 2pm US Eastern\, 11am US Pacific)\, registered users will receive (by email) a link to stream the film. They will then have a three-hour window in which to watch it. \nWhy is there a charge for this event?\nPlease note that Friends of Socialist China are not making any money from the showing; their purpose in arranging it is to ensure that its important political and cultural content reaches a wider audience. However\, Trinity Cine Asia\, with whom they are partnering to organise the screening\, have paid the costs of distribution and marketing; therefore all proceeds go to them. \n\nFor more information about the film and to register please follow this Eventbrite link: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/special-online-showing-of-1921-tickets-170177556653
