UNIQUE and INCOMPARABLE UNIQUE AND INCOMPARABLE During the spring 2016 semester, advanced writing student Amy Mei wrote an essay about her daughter’s friends, in which she said that every child is “unique and not able to be compared.” One of the student teachers, Louise Crawford, taught Amy the word “incomparable,” and when we discussed the essay in class, we decided that everyone in the class is incomparable, as is the class itself.

God Bless You, Qiao Zhuang (Grace) Zhang — 9 — INTRODUCTION UNIQUE AND INCOMPARABLE Qiao Zhuang (Grace) Zhang I really grew up in my writing in the three and a half years I have spent in the University Settlement Advanced Writing Class. In the beginning, I didn’t know if I could write. I didn’t recall if I was a good writer in my school in China. But gradually, I tried to write every week. I thought: Since I come to this class, why waste time in not bringing homework? I listened to some news in Chinese every day. It gave me thoughts to compose my essays. I remember I wrote my first essay, “Linsanity,” when Jeremy Lin had just become a superstar in the NBA. My classmates enjoyed my writing, which encouraged me to move on. My muse also came from my kids, my classmates, and my everyday life. The writing class gave me new eyes to explore everything around me. Each time I finished my essays, I fell in love with them in reading them again and again. Our class is unique and incomparable. One reason is the teacher, June Foley, who is the spirit of the writing class. I have to compliment her hard work, her personality, her expertise in English skills, and her acceptance towards her students of different cultures, ages, and English capabilities. June is willing to adapt and change so that more students can fit in. She feels proud when she sees progress for each of her students. Because of her, every diligent student has an opportunity to harvest their works and expand their horizon in life.

  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere
    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

In recent years, there has been much research and theory on western film music, especially the Hollywood film industry, by musicologists and scholars in film studies, popular music studies, and other fields. However, there has been little research on Hong Kong Film music, the system of which is different from that of western film music, and therefore I will apply basic film music concepts, but using the real situation of Hong Kong film music to formulate my own argument.

    Film Classrooms on “LOVE” a.a. 2014-15 – II semestre MERCOLEDI’ 10 MARZO 2015: 亲情 Family love 《Eat, Drink, Man, Woman》1994 Director: Ang Lee Cast: Xing Lang，Yu-wen Wang， Chien-lien Wu Brief Introduction: Eat Drink Man Woman is a 1994 Taiwanese film directed by Ang Leeand starring Sihung Lung, Yu- wen Wang, Chien-lien Wu, and Kuei-mei Yang. The film was released on August 3, 1994, the first of Lee's films to be both a critical and box office success. In 1994, the film received the Asia Pacific Film Festival Award for Best Film, and in 1995 it received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The title is a quote from the Book of Rites, one of the Confucian classics, referring to the basic human desires and accepting them as natural. The beginning of the quote reads as follows: “The things which men greatly desire are comprehended in meat and drink and sexual pleasure;” (Translation by James Legge), Chinese: 「飲食男女，人之大欲存焉」. Many of the cast members had appeared in Ang Lee's previous films. Sihung Lung and Ah Lei Gua played central elderly figures dealing with the transition from tradition to modernity in The Wedding Banquet, in which Winston Chao also starred. Sihung Lung played an immigrant father in Pushing Hands. These three films show the tensions between the generations of a Confucian family, between East and West, and between tradition and modernity. They form what has been called Lee's "Father Knows Best" trilogy.
