SUMMARY:SACU-Peking University Essay/Art Competition 2020-2021 Online Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:All SACU members are welcome to join with the students from both the UK and China for this year’s Awards Ceremony of the Essay/Art Competition\, organised jointly by SACU and Peking University. \nThe SACU/ Peking University Essay Competition began in 2015 as part of SACU’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. Now in its 5th year\, the aim of the competition is to help young people learn about the development of friendship and understanding between the UK and China and to consider how this might be further promoted. The submissions could be an essay or an artistic form\, which could involve for example photography\, other visual art\, or choreographed dance. \nThe awards are sponsored by Peking University with three prizes of £100 / £50 /£25 in each of two categories. \n\nThe judging panel is chaired by Dr. Frances Wood\, renowned author on China and former head of the British Library Chinese Collections and SACU Vice President\, who will give the panel’s views on the entries.\nProfessor Sun Hua of Peking University will join from Beijing. Prof Sun Hua is an expert in historical figures who have contributed to building friendship between the peoples of China and the West.\n\nSACU is grateful for the support and sponsorship of Peking University for the Essay Competition. \nThis event will be held by Zoom – the link was sent out to members in the June newsletter and a reminder will be sent three days before the event.

SUMMARY:SACU ChinaChat: Discussing the Opium Wars
DESCRIPTION:SACU Members are invited to join this SACU ChinaChat on Thursday 25 June 2020 at 6.00pm by Zoom \nSACU Members ChinaChat: Discussing the Opium Wars \nDr Jenny Clegg\, SACU Vice President\, will share her thoughts based on Stephen Platt’s Imperial Twilight: The Opium War and the End of China’s Last Golden Age (2018). \nThis is a chance for us as SACU members to meet together and share our ideas and thoughts. \nPlease be sure to use the Updated Link to the meeting – it has been emailed to all members\n[the original one included in our earlier newsletter on 16th June will not work]  \nWith the first salvos of the first Opium War in 1839\, Britain opened China to a ‘century of humiliation’. Stephen Platt\, an American historian\, sets out both the British and the Chinese sides as events moved inexorably to war. This potent turning point in China’s history ‘stands for everything that today’s China seeks to put behind it’\, giving Platt’s narrative ‘important implications for today’s uncertain and ever-changing world’. \nTo launch SACU ChinaChats into the virtual dimension\, Jenny will share her thoughts and impressions of the book with a view to stimulating discussion on this defining moment in Anglo-Chinese history\, and to enabling the sharing of views between our British and Chinese members in an informal and relaxed setting. \nThis free event is for SACU members only. \nZoom codes have been sent to SACU members. [Please use the Updated Link sent by email to members on Monday 22 June 2020 [the one included in our earlier email won’t work].
