演講大綱
Tufts professor Claire Conceison 康开丽 will speak about the life of Ying Ruocheng 英若诚 and their collaboration on his autobiography, Voices Carry: Behind Bars and Backstage during China’s Revolution and Reform, which was just published in English in the United States (a Chinese version is forthcoming in Beijing in April).

Voices Carry is the autobiography of Ying Ruocheng, one of China’s most prominent citizens of the 20th century. Famous for his film roles in The Last Emperor and Marco Polo, he also played renowned stage roles as Liu Mazi 刘麻子 in Teahouse 茶馆 and Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman 推销员之死 (when Arthur Miller directed it in Beijing in 1983). He also translated many plays between English and Chinese. He was imprisoned for spying during the Cultural Revolution and was appointed Vice Minister of Culture from 1986-1990. In his memoir, he discusses all these experiences, as well as his childhood living in a prince’s palace 庆王府.

Ying Ruocheng was the grandson of Ying Lianzhi 英敛之 (founder of Dagongbao 大公报 and Furen University 辅仁大学) and son of Ying Qianli 英千里 (famous educator and scholar in Taiwan), and was the father of mainland China celebrity actor and television personality Ying Da 英达.

Claire Conceison collaborated with Ying Ruocheng on his autobiography until his death in 2003, and completed the project for him afterwards. Her presentation includes photographs and documents from Ying Ruocheng’s life and career, and will be in both English and Chinese.

演講大綱 :
達爾文提出的演化論: 地球上的生物都有很繁眾的子孫, 下一代跟上代及相互之間多少有點差異, 而且生活環境不可能維持這麼多的子孫, 尤其環境起了變化, 大多不能存活, 如果其中有些變種最能適應這新環境, 他們的競爭者多被淘汰, 這些變種就能大量衍生, 幾代之後, 新種取代了舊種.

戊戍變法之年, 嚴復翻譯赫胥黎的小冊子 "Evolution and Ethics", 為"天演論", 書中"生存競爭,弱肉強食,自然淘汰" 簡化成"物競天擇, 適者生存" 等字眼, 卻成為激勵國人奮發圖強的口號.

200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and 150 years of "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life".

演講大綱 :

中医与中国主流传统文化有相同理论基础。儒家、道家、医家都来源于早期的《易经》。阴阳的哲学思维一直到春秋战国时期才分化为儒家、道家、墨家、兵家、法家等。中医学自产生之日起，就与道家结下了不解之缘。中医学也吸收借鉴了道家的精气阴阳思想，道教医学也融会了中医药学的全部内容。儒家也对中医学产生了巨大的影响，医学被认为是实现儒家理想的重要途径。“不为良相，则为良医”成为了儒士箴言。古时医者也多是知晓阴阳五行，熟读四书五经的儒医。

DATE: August 16, 2009, Sunday
TIME: 10:00am
MEET: 9:45am @ Visitor Center, Franconia/Lincoln, NH 603-745-8391

Estimated Hiking Duration: 2.5 hours
Level of difficulty: Moderate

Brief:
The Flume Gorge at Franconia Notch State Park is in the heart of the popular White Mountain National Forest.

Discovered in 1808, the Flume is a natural gorge extending 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. The walls of Conway granite rise to a height of 70 to 90 feet and are 12 to 20 feet apart. A trip into the Flume begins and ends at the Flume Visitor's Center. We can walk through the Gorge and do a two-mile loop. The walk includes uphill walking and stairs but is very beautiful.

Franconia Notch was the home of the famous Old Man of the Mountain, the same "Great Stone Face" immortalized by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Daniel Webster.

While you are in the White Mountains area, you could also ride the exciting aerial tramway at Cannon Mountain, experience the Mount Washington Cog Railroad which has the steepest grade (13.5) of any railroad in the world, and have a beautiful lunch at the Bretton Woods hotel which was the site for the World Monetary Fund Conference in 1944.

Take your time, stop for a swim at Echo Lake, net a trout while fly fishing at Profile Lake, ride your bike on the Recreational Trail, watch for rock climbers, hawks, and falcons on Cannon Cliffs, or hike on the Appalachian Trail. Bring the family, stay awhile, and enjoy Franconia Notch State Park.

Directions:

It's easy to get to Franconia Notch State Park! Take I-93 north or south, depending on your starting point. The Flume Gorge and Visitor Center is located at exit 34A. It takes about 1 hr 45 minutes from Nashua and 2 hours 30 minutes from Boston.

The exhibit includes self-portraits, photo collages, and comic strips created by high school students during the weeklong ExplorAsian Program.

Sarah Chang, Educational and Arts Coordinator of ExplorAsian, explains: “We hope this exhibit will encourage youth to continue exploration of their identities and stories in meaningful and empowering ways and that the experience will teach youth to participate in their communities with greater understanding and purpose. ”

New England Chinese Youth Summer Camp (NECYSC) is a non-profit organization whose goal is to foster community for youth ages 6-14 who are interested in Chinese culture. The ExplorAsian Summer Program was created as a continuation of NECYSC to promote positive identity development and encourage involvement and awareness of community issues for high school students.

The W/Y Gallery, or Henry Wong and You King Yee Memorial Gallery, is an artistic extension of the Chinese Progressive Association—a grass roots organization located in Boston’s Chinatown that has worked to represent and empower low-income workers, immigrants, families and the elderly since the 1970s. The organization has 30 years of experience using the arts as a progressive tool for raising public awareness about social and political themes relevant to the population it serves.

The exhibit will open Friday, August 21st, 2009 at the Chinese Progressive Association (28 Ash Street, Boston) and run until November 3rd, 2009. A reception will be held on Friday, August 21st from 6:00 – 8:00PM, where certificates will be presented to participating youth artists. Light refreshments will be served.

Gallery hours are Monday - Wednesday, 9:00AM – 5:00PM, Saturdays 10:00AM – 12:00noon, and by appointment. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
