SSPS & RBH seminar on “The Teacher in Chinese Culture: Reflections on a Lifetime of Personal Encounters”

In this presentation, Prof. Hayhoe shared with us the features of Chinese culture that drew her into 50 years of interaction with Hong Kong and a broader China.  She enlightened us to learn lessons from Chinese civilization that have given people agency, strength, resilience and hope in the time of drastic social changes.  She guided us to understand a constant balancing between opposites rooted in Chinese culture - the discipline of Confucian learning patterns and the deep insights coming from Daoist thought.
