I’m pretty excited about the upcoming sessions as I was reading the flyer, the/these sessions are going to be about how biographies can help enlighten issues in China’s modern history. There will be 3 guest speakers all of who will speak on different topics/subjects. All topics seem so interesting; I can hardly wait to see what the guest speakers have to say. The subject matters range from discussing the work of acclaimed critic and writer, (Lu Xun). Lu Xun was an essayist, a short story writer and editor. Lu Xun is considered China’s best modern writer. A second guest [speaker will talk about how the Song Dynasty/family hoped to build an industrial Utopia, and the 3rd guest speaker will discuss how during China’s Cultural Revolution, the educated youth were sent to work in the countryside. All these topics have me intrigued. As I mentioned before, I can hardly wait for Saturday. Because of our seminar occurring on the same day as the Los Angeles Book Festival, I feel it is most appropriate. As after hearing/listening to our guest speakers, we may want to attend the book festival in order to purchase books on the subjects/topics, authors, the guest speakers spoke about or about the history of China/Asia or on any other topic/subjects that we are interested in. Since we will be there already, with complimentary free parking, we might as well take advantage of this and take a stroll to the Festival of Books. I know I certainly will!
