SUMMARY:Understanding SACU - SACU ChinaChat online
DESCRIPTION:The atmosphere within which SACU seeks to promote understanding of China has deteriorated considerably in the last two or three years. How do we find our bearings during such uncertain and unpredictable times?   In SACU we know we have much to learn from China\, and the Chinese approach of learning from history in order to understand the present and shape the future. In line with this idea\, SACU Vice President Jenny Clegg – whose membership of SACU reaches back to the mid-1960s – will look at the trajectory of UK-China people’s relations across this time period and even further. In doing so she will suggest some points of learning\, leading into an open discussion of how we might understand SACU today\, and how SACU can move forward amid changing circumstances. Suggested reading: https://sacu.org/history-of-china-uk-friendship-societies-before-sacu/\nSACU members: This is a Zoom meeting for members – please use the link in February’s newsletter. There will be an email reminder the day before the event.\nPlease email any questions to events@sacu.org.uk\nSACU ChinaChats enable members to discuss and develop their own understanding of  issues. The meetings are not recorded and are for SACU members only.

Their Programme includes the Bridge Builders Series – these are people improving relations between China and the UK. SACU members Michael Wood OBE\, SACU President\, Dr Frances Wood\, SACU Vice-President\, [no relation] and Zoë Reed\, Chair\, have featured. For our AGM afternoon session\, we are delighted that CGTN will be introducing us to other Bridge Builders – the Guo Family: influencers whose wisdom reaches around the world. \n  \nWe are also delighted that SACU member Mary Ginsberg will be in conversation with artists Qu Leilei and Caroline Deane.  \n  \nMary Ginsberg\, is an international banker turned art historian\, with special interest in propaganda art. Many years at the British Museum\, her current exhibition project is a retrospective of modern Chinese printmaking for Muban Educational Trust. \n\n  \nQu Leilei grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and has lived in the UK since 1985. His visual language represents his life’s fusion of east and west. His style is unique\, producing near-photographic realism with Chinese\, ink. Leilei’s extraordinary range of projects have included social politics\, individual identity\, architectural scenes\, portraits and nudes– in paintings\, prints and 3-D installations. His chief theme is humanity\, variously expressed in images personal and universal. \n\n  \nCaroline Deane was trained in China and a collaborator with Qu Leilei. Several of Qu Leilei’s series originated with Caroline Deane\, she is one of the homes and a big part of the heart—and the art… \n  \nFor any questions related to SACU’s AGM Day\, please email SACU Secretary: jacob@sacu.org.uk

SUMMARY:SACU X UCFC Film Club: Life Without Principle (2011) Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Film Title: LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE \n  \nDirected by Johnnie To \nStarring Ching Wan Lau\, Richie Jen\, Denise Ho \nThe film will be followed by a panel discussion / conversation \n2011 | 107mins | Hong Kong SAR\, China | rated (18TBC) \nThe story of three characters: an ordinary bank teller is forced to sell high risk securities to her customers\, a small-time thug who delves into the futures index hoping for easy money\, and a police inspector who is suddenly desperate for money. \n  \nMajor Film Festival & Awards: \n68th Venice Film Festival Competition Selected Film \n48th Golden Horse Awards Best Director\, Best Original Script \n“Hong Kong helmer Johnnie To finds greed to be the root of all evil in his patchy “Life Without Principle.”  – The Variety \n  \nDr Hiu Man Chan’s recommendation: \nJuly is a busy month for the debate about Hong Kong in the UK. As we have observed\, most of media coverages are biased and fragmentary. They do not report the complexity and deep societal issues that Hong Kong as a capitalist city has been facing for a long time. Some interest groups of course also see opportunities to foreground their continuous agenda with Hong Kong and the new arrivals being used\, only as a tool. As we continue to believe here at the UK-China Film Collab\, a film says a thousand words. Life Without Principle (2011) portraits very well about the real problems that Hong Kong face. This reviewing experience will certainly make you more informed with necessary knowledge to question future media coverages about this special administrative region of China. \n  \nWatch the film then join the Film Club Discussion on Tuesday 26 July\, 7.00-8.00pm. \n  \nSACU members will be sent the links to watch the film and then join the discussion by Zoom. \n  \nSACU’s monthly Film Club is held in collaboration with UK-China Film Collab (UCFC)

SUMMARY:China and the Ukraine Crisis: SACU Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:SACU brings together a panel of expert speakers to discuss China’s response and position to the Ukraine Crisis. \n  \nAbout this event \nRussia’s military intervention in Ukraine is proving catastrophic for Ukraine’s people and also for the wider world. A new era is opening up to be defined not only by the outcome of the war but also by the global response to it. As an emerging world leader\, China’s response in particular is crucial. \nChina has said that the situation ‘is not what it wishes to see’\, but in its unwillingness to condemn the Russian invasion\, it has been criticised for failing to act responsibly as a global stakeholder. Some even see its commitment to a friendship with Russia ‘without limits’ as dividing the world into bloc politics. \nChina says it stands for peace and has offered to play the role of mediator although nothing seems to have come of this so far. Nevertheless\, China has a tendency to look to the longer term. \nTo help in understanding China’s role and position in this crisis\, SACU has brought together a panel of excellent speakers to explore the various perspectives involved. \n\nEvent access \n\n\nReserve your place on Eventbrite here. \n\n\nOne day before the event\, you will be sent an invitation email link to register in advance on Zoom. If you register within one day of the event you will receive the invitation email one hour before the event starts. \nThere will be some time for Q&A.

SUMMARY:SACU X UCFC Film Club – Tuesday 26 April
DESCRIPTION:SACU members are invited to join SACU X UCFC Film Club on Tuesday 26 April at 7.00pm to discuss this month’s film: Mountains May Depart. \nWatch the trailer and rent the video on the BFI Player:\nhttps://player.bfi.org.uk/rentals/film/watch-mountains-may-depart-2015-online \nDon’t forget to watch the movie first before coming to the online session: JOIN HERE \n  \nSACU’s monthly film club is held in collaboration with UK-China Film Collab (UCFC). Dr Hiu Man Chan\, SACU member and founder of UK-China Film Collab will facilitate the discussion. \nMountains May Depart (2015) is directed by JIA Zhangke (A Touch of Sin\, Still Life\, The World). \n“Jia Zhangke delivers a picture every bit as ambitious\, astute and humane as his previous films\, covering three time periods in the life of a group of friends who become family. We open on the eve of the new Millennium and Chinese capitalism is burgeoning. Tao must choose a suitor between flashy Zhang\, with his fancy motor and stoic worker Liangzi. The film then jumps forward\, catching up with the characters 15 and 25 years later.” (BFI) \n

SUMMARY:SACU X UCFC Film Club - Tuesday 29 March
DESCRIPTION:SACU is pleased to announce a new monthly film club in collaboration with UK-China Film Collab (UCFC). Members are invited to watch a curated film each month and to participate in an online discussion. The forum will be casually moderated by Dr Hiu Man Chan\, a SACU member and also Founder & Director of UCFC. The film club will schedule to e-meet every last Tuesday of the month between 19:00 and 20:00. Here is the selected film for our launching event in March: \n\n\n\n\nBETTER DAYS (2019) & your host’s recommendation \nDirected by Derek Tsang\, BETTER DAYS (2019) is one of the most popular films targeting the young Chinese consumer market recently. It tells a story about school bullying and how teenagers fight against this social issue in contemporary China. Unlike the Fifth Generation directors such as Zhang Yimou and his films\, what we see in Better Days is an ever changing China. This film enables us to understand how the young generation of Chinese thinks via an ever so compelling narrative. \nBETTER DAYS was submitted to the OSCARS to compete in the Best Foreign Film category in 2021. \nThis film is available to watch on Amazon. Feel free to watch it any time before our online gathering. For a better viewing experience\, you can always airplay the viewing to your smart TV. If you are interested in signing up for the monthly film club event\, please register here to support our coordination or email for more information: membership@sacu.org.uk \n

DESCRIPTION:SACU Reading Group on May Fourth Writers and their writing – Led by Michael Sheringham (SACU) \nWe have been meeting online to discuss Chinese literature of the May Fourth period – roughly from the beginning of the 1920s to the end of the ‘30s – for the past 8 months. We are a small group meeting once a month to discuss stories and poems by well-known writers of the period\, including Lu Xun\, Mao Dun\, Bing Xin\, Guo Moruo\, Lin Shuhua\, Ding Ling\, Xiao Hong\, Xiao Jun and Yu Dafu – well-known in China\, but not so much overseas even among those interested in China and its cultural tradition. \nSACU members are welcome to join any meeting – we usually meet online at 6.00-7.30 pm on Wednesday mid-month. \nFor more information email: membership@sacu.org.uk
