The chief value of the former is the practice of humaneness, manifest in family love, compassion for suffering, care, and empathy. The chief value of the latter is loyalty to the prince/ruler (忠君), including helping through education in the creation of societal harmony (no conflict) with everyone thinking the same(思想大一统意义上的和谐). The former is available for cooperation with Western ethics scholars interested in the interrelation between love, care for suffering, empathy and their neurological base. Obviously, the State in contemporary China tilts toward the latter, State Confucianism. Professor Munro argued for the former as the legacy in China worth inheriting. after the Conference, Donald Munro went to Guangzhou to attend a two day Faculty Seminar focused on Chinese theories of human nature, with one day devoted to Munro’s own works on the topic. Forty to fifty Chinese scholars from various points in China came to attend the events.

University of Michigan Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies Fall 2016 — 21 20 “I was the contact for Patty (Patricia Simmer). She had done some teaching at the University of Michigan already, and she always helped us readily when we had some problems in class. At first, we were not quite accustomed to the course. In fact, because I was studying for the TOEFL, I even thought about quitting the course. However, I could turn to Patty without hesitation. I thought: it’s really a good way to improve ourselves, so I kept going. Especially in the class of Chemical biology and Biochemistry, the professors wanted us to discuss the problems with our friends and show our answers on the blackboard. Through this method, we experienced a new teaching style, and I think it will do much help to our studies in the future. All of us were grateful to them and learned from them a lot. I think it’s everyone’s wish to have such course again.” — Xiao Zhujun, SJTU

Photos: Abner Charles, SJTU Their positive attitude was also presented to everyone when they came to the board quite frequently, and shared with the class their expertise on the subject manner.” at the closing ceremony, Professor Huai Sun, SJTU director for the program, conclud- ed, “This program is a successful experiment. For the first time we had a summer chemistry school offering of regular classes that were open to both visiting and local students. Everyone has worked well together. It is a good experience for the SJTU students: on their home campus, they have experienced a new teaching environment provided by the visiting professors. For the foreign students, they have learned a lot by engaging education on a totally different campus across the world from Ann Arbor.” Sun continued, “and it is a good experience for us - the educators. Through this program, we have learned something about the meaning of global education, which is a popular idea to develop nowadays, even if there is no global agreement about what it means. One thing for sure: having young people study, learn, and interact with one another in a cross-cultural setting is essential for training our future leaders.” Professor Coppola, in his remarks, acknowledged the exceptional benefits to students from both countries because our universities have found ways to cooperate on programs such as this. “Programs such as this operate as much behind the scenes as they do up-front in the classrooms. On behalf of the University of Michigan, I thank Dean Xiaofan Wang for his vision and valued support, Vice Dean for Education Xi Ye, and my close colleague and collaborator, Professor Huai Sun. We are also indebted to the terrific staff of the Zhiyuan College for their tireless assistance in making all the details run so smoothly.” The U-M chemistry and biochemistry majors who enrolled in these classes were Samuel Sheets, Zachary Hall, Zohaib Siddiqi, Patricia Simmer, Nicholas Huang, and Wanhong (Windy) Zhu.
