There are two special talks that offered by college which is on 5th and 12th of august.
It was a talk given by a guy lecturer who used to teach in china skul.~
Something that i really admired him is that, he able to speak english fluently although he stayed at china for quite a long time.
I have only went to the first one.
It's excellent, in many ways.
The talk is about postmodernism.
The detail part of the talk, I can't really recall.
But what I really like about the talk is all the general knowledge that he told us.
One of it will be the chinese culture from different countries are totally different.
We always used to think that chinese culture will be the same throughout the whole world.
But practically, it is not.
For an example, chinese in Malaysia are still follow to their tradition such as during Qingming festival.
Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, joss paper accessories, and/or libations to the ancestors.
Most of us actually though that China peoples are doing the same thing but through what he told us, I foudn out that we're wrong. As time pass, alot of them are not following the traditions anymore.
Then, he told us "in fact, Malaysia is a unique country as we have our very own culture which different from others."
I'm happy to knew this and only realise that we're different.
