SUMMARY:Wen-hsin Yeh - Vast Ocean\, Small People:  The Aborigines of Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wen-hsin Yeh\, University of California at Berkeley \nFor centuries under the Ming and the Qing\, indigenous communities of Taiwan (i.e. the Austronesian-speaking tribal groups in the mountains and on the Pacific side of the island) led distinct styles of life in a state of relative insularity. That insularity ended in the 19th century when Western and Japanese naval vessels appeared on the Pacific. In response\, the Qing cut roads into the mountains and sent troops down the coast.  These events marked a new beginning for the aborigines who\, labeled as headhunters and savages\, came under successive regimes of colonial rule. Things changed again towards the end of the 20th century.  China adopted a “National Ocean Strategy” by which the People’s Navy would routinely project its presence on the Pacific.  And Taiwan\, out of a determination to deliver transitional justice\, issued in 2016 a presidential apology to the tribes as long-suffering victims of historical injustice. \nThis presentation on Taiwan’s indigenous people takes the Pacific as a point of reference to build a historical narrative.  In doing so\, the talk seeks to position Taiwan in a changing world of connecting oceans.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Tiananmen at 30
DESCRIPTION:Watch again on YouTube: \n \nListen again on Soundcloud: \n \nRead and download a transcript of this event here. \nSpeakers:\nHao Jian\, Professor\, Beijing Film Academy\nLouisa Lim\, Senior Lecturer\, University of Melbourne; Author\, The People’s Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited\nWang Dan\, Founder and Executive Director of Dialogue China\nJeffrey Wasserstrom\, Chancellor’s Professor of History\, University of California Irvine \nModerator: \nRowena Xiaoqing He\, Current Member\, Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton; Author\, Tiananmen Exiles: Voices of the Struggle for Democracy in China \n  \nTranscript of Director Michael Szonyi’s Opening Remarks\, May 8\, 2019 \nWelcome to the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. My name’s Michael Szonyi. I am the director of the Fairbank Center and it is my privilege to introduce today’s session marking 30 years since the extraordinary events of May and June of 1989. \nWhile we have called today’s session “Tiananmen at 30\,” these events occurred not just at Tiananmen Square or even just in Beijing\, but in cities all over China. These events culminated\, as we all know\, on June 4th\, 1989 in a act of military suppression that took place not only\, or even primarily in the square itself\, but throughout the city and beyond. \nAnyone could have predicted that this year\, 2019\, would be a sensitive year for anniversaries in China. As Jiayang Fan wrote in The New Yorker this week\, for the CCP\, “certain anniversaries teeter between the emblematic and the problematic.” As things have unfolded\, the year proved far more sensitive for far more anniversaries than we had anticipated. Problematic definitely outweighed emblematic. \nBesides the 40th anniversary of the establishment of US-China relations\, and the 40th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act\, here at the Fairbank Center we’ve held events including a commemoration of 40 years of reform and opening up which we co-hosted and co-organized with the Unirule Institute of Economic. That event\, we believe\, proved to be one of the very last\, if not the very last\, public event for that very influential liberal think tank in China. We similarly commemorated the centenary of the May 4th Movement with a two-day conference organized by Professor David Wang. Some of you\, like me\, were at that conference and I think many of us who attended that conference were discouraged that\, as one of our guests\, Jeff Wasserstrom\, pointed out in his long New York Times op-ed\, a century after May 4th\, a free and open discussion of that event and its significance remains impossible in China. \nAs with May 4th\, so too June 4th. But even in a year of sensitive anniversaries\, there’s something distinctive about the event we commemorate today\, because of course there are no public commemorations at all of this event all in China. This is an event that can only be spoken of outside of China. \nThe Fairbank Center at Harvard is home for China studies in all forms\, even\, and in some ways especially when the topic is sensitive. We value our commitment to intellectual freedom to pursue questions and research that others might want us to avoid. It’s our responsibility to hold events such as today’s\, both as an academic endeavor in the face of official suppression in China and as a mark of respect to those whose lives were taken or scarred by the events 30 years ago. The importance of our discussions on the CCP’s relationship with the Chinese citizenry is only elevated by the context of other human rights crises that are unfolding in China today\, in particular the current crisis in Xinjiang\, and this reinforces the importance of our persistent pursuit of truth in the face of repression. \n  \nMichael Szonyi \nMay 8\, 2019

SUMMARY:Conference - Interpreting Energy Dependence in Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Energy dependence is the leitmotif of Eurasian political economy. The concept recurs in official speeches and is often invoked to imply a threat. The higher the level of dependence on hydrocarbon imports\, especially oil and natural gas\, the higher the energy security risk. This stems usually from political instability in hydrocarbon-producing countries\, concerns about price volatility\, the fact that some state-owned oil companies are hand-in-glove with authoritarian regimes\, or increased carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels\, which contribute to global warming. More than anywhere else\, member states and associated member states of the International Energy Agency have sought to make sustainable development (including further development of domestic resources) and energy security a top priority. It is perceived as a means towards decreasing dependence. It turns out that the interests of consuming and producing countries are\, however\, more and more divergent\, and finding common ground is challenging\, although increasingly important. \nOrganizers:\nRawi Abdelal\, Herbert F. Johnson Professor of International Management\, Harvard Business School; Director\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\nAurélie Bros\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies \nMore information: https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/events/interpreting-energy-dependence-eurasia \nSponsored by the Davis Center & the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion with Director Hu Jie - The Spark
DESCRIPTION:Director Hu Jie will be in person for a Q&A (Mandarin with English translation) following the screening.  \nFollowing the Anti-Rightist movement of 1957\, a group of Lanzhou University students who had been condemned as Rightists were sent to rural areas in Tianshui\, Gansu Province\, to be reformed through labor. There they witnessed the violent absurdities of the Great Leap Forward and the mass starvation and deaths of the Great Famine. In response\, they started an underground publication\, which they called The Spark\, in which they exposed exaggerated local harvest reports along with rural poverty and starvation. They also initiated a profound theoretical analysis and criticism of the structure of the People’s Commune\, placing blame for the Great Leap Forward on the Communi The publication also carried Lin Zhao’s long poem “Prometheus’s Day of Passion.” The Spark is the only extant unofficial\, intellectual periodical from the time of the Great Famine. In the end\, 43 people\, including the Rightist teachers and students who were connected with its publication\, as well as the peasants and rural cadres who sympathized with them\, were arrested and given long prison sentences. Among them\, three key figures—Zhang Chunyuan\, county party secretary Du Yinghua\, and Lin Zhao—were executed during the Cultural Revolution.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Reception - Calligraphy • China Gene : Ronghua Jing
DESCRIPTION:“One brush reveals all” is the secret of calligraphy and the key of decoding aesthetics of traditional Chinese art. This exhibition consists of ten calligraphies and ten Chinese paintings\, including Chinese landscape paintings and Chinese bird paintings. The connotation of Twin Ten\, 十全十美 (Ten in Whole\, Ten in Beauty) implies perfection in Chinese culture. In the art of calligraphies\, it tells a calligrapher’s life story\, calligraphy note\, and the journey of calligraphy study and practice. \nRonghua Jing selects several poetries of Tang Dynasty poets\, including his favorite\, Dufu (杜甫) \, and shows his friendship with Reedstone. In the art of Chinese landscape paintings\, Professor Jing expresses his love for nature and China\, especially Changjiang River and Yellow Mountain. As an erudite history professor\, he has insight on the philosophy of Yin-Yang and which he creates through brush pen.
