The primary school tries to combine used tires with sports and created dozens of games since 2018. These games, which have turned waste into useful tools, have become a distinguishing feature of the school. http://www.bjreview.com JUNE 3, 2021 BEIJING REVIEW 3 THIS WEEK SOCIETY XINHUA Of those 1,856 surveyed, 60.9 percent voiced that new ideas should be added to the concept of filial piety as the philosophy continues to evolve with time. The majority of respondents, born between the 1970s and the 2000s, agreed that children should offer respect, support and company to their parents and other family elders. According to the survey, filial piety is about much more than the mere duty of respect, defer- ence and care for the elderly. Li Zexuan, a Beijing resident born in the 1990s, said that the publicity campaign for filial piety should focus on specific practices closely related to daily life, such as accompanying parents to exercise or teaching the elderly Blossoming Industry how to use the Internet.

    China’s Environmental Crisis Environmental Politics And Theory Our current environmental crisis cannot be solved by technological innovation alone. The premise of this Series is that the environmental challenges we face today are, at their root, political crises involving political values. Growing public consciousness of the environmental crisis and its human and nonhuman impacts exemplifi ed by the worldwide urgency and political activity associated with the consequences of climate change make it imperative to study and achieve a sustainable and socially just society. The Series collects, extends, and develops ideas from the burgeon- ing empirical and normative scholarship spanning many disciplines with a global perspective. It addresses the need for social change from the hegemonic, consumer capitalist society in order to realize environmental sustainability and social justice. The Series Editor is Joel Jay Kassiola, Professor of Political Science and Dean of The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences at San Francisco State University.

  • A Citation Yuan Longping
    Conferment of the Degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa A Citation Yuan Longping Rice fields that are luxuriantly verdant in early spring and glittering gold in late autumn form an ideal picture that has recurred in the Chinese mind since ancient times, as it augurs well for the healtþ growth of crops and a rich harvest of grain. Today, the dream of bygone millenniums has come true, and the one who has realized this green dream by creating the magical rice of the East is Professor Yuan Longping, the "Father of Hybrid Rice". Professor Yuan Longping's family came from Dean in Jiangxi Province, and he himself was born in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in 1930, the second of five boys. His father worked for the Beijing-Wuhan Railway and his mother attended a church-run secondary school. It was a warm and enlightened famlly, and his mother was the young Longping's first teacher of English. She also made sure that traditional values such as "to study more, to make progress and to do good to others" were effectively implanted in his young mind. Thus Professor Yuan has cultivated a studious disposition and a deep concern for the public good since an early age. It was during an outing to the countryside, while at primary school in Wuhan, that he became impressed by what he saw in a horticultural farm. The trees, flowers and fruit fascinated his young mind and kindled his interest in gardening and agriculture. He made a promise to himsell there and then, that he would make agriculture his lifelong pursuit, and to this day he has not deviated from that course.

  • Calendar 2016–17
    The Chinese University of Hong Kong Calendar 2016–2017 The emblem of the University is the mythical Chinese bird feng (鳳) which has been regarded as the Bird of the South since the Han dynasty. It is a symbol of nobility, beauty, loyalty and majesty. The University colours are purple and gold, representing devotion and loyalty, and perseverance and resolution, respectively. The motto of the University is ‘博文約禮’ or ‘Through learning and temperance to virtue’. These words of Confucius have long been considered a principal precept of his teaching. It is recorded in the Analects of Confucius that the Master says, ‘The superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus likewise not overstep what is right.’ (Legge’s version of the Four Books) In choosing ‘博文約禮’ as its motto, the University is laying equal emphasis on the intellectual and moral aspects of education.
