Early morning light,Professor of our college,Going to Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, South Korea for academic exchange from September to November 2013。
Sungkyunkwan University is located in the north of Seoul,Built on the mountain。South Korea has less land and more people,Shortage of land resources,In Seoul, which is said to have a quarter of South Korea’s population,Every inch of land is precious,So almost all Korean universities are built on hillsides。Go uphill all the way after entering the school gate,Walking through the campus is like climbing half the mountain。The teaching building of the School of Humanities where I teach is located at the farthest edge of the school,When I first arrived at school,The Korean teacher in charge of reception introduced the situation,Explain,In Korean University,This is the position of bet365 slotsthe humanities。I deliberately confused the concepts of "topography" and "status" and said: "It seems that the humanities have the highest status。"The other party naturally heard my ridicule,But he just smiled helplessly。
Sungkyunkwan was founded in 1398,It is the highest national educational institution in the Joseon Dynasty,It is also the birthplace of Korean education。Sungkyunkwan University has two campuses,The Natural Science Campus is located in Suwon, a satellite city of Seoul,Invested and constructed by Samsung Group as a school consortium;The main school in Seoul has become the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus。In this campus,There is a well-preserved Confucian Temple。A ceremony to commemorate Confucius is held every year on the birthday of Confucius,Teachers and students lined up in costumes,beating the drums and singing the piano,Dance of Eight-Yuan。It is said that every move and power is taken from the great ceremony performed in Qufu Confucius Temple。Officials and teachers from various education departments are sitting or standing,Onlookers solemnly。While standing as a spectator,Meditation and trance,I didn’t know where I was for a moment。But the strange thing is,The Confucian Temple bet365 online sports betting mobileis unusually quiet on weekdays,Although it is only separated from the campus by a wall,And the temple gate is open day and night,But teachers and students are rarely seen,Flocks of pigeons are looking for food,It gives people the feeling of being deserted。I was confused about this when I first came here,But then I saw the hurried footsteps and indifferent expressions of students on campus,I know some of the reasons。In Korea,Young people’s lives are stressful、Fast pace of life,In addition to completing their studies, students,I still need to work to make money。Long-term rest is not good、Lack of sleep,It is rare to stop and take a look at the surrounding scenery。Speaking of scenery,In fact, the two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in the Confucian Temple are quite impressive,Late autumn,The tree is full of golden color。By the way,The school emblem of Sungkyunkwan University is a ginkgo leaf。
Compared to overwhelmed students,The professors are all in high spirits、Extraordinary bearing。Due to work,I have close contact with the professors at the Institute of East Asian Culture。Mr. Park, a senior professor at the institute, studied in Germany for more than ten years,The way of doing bet365 best casino gamesthings and dealing with people have Western style,Especially the relationship with students is refreshing in this ancient campus that emphasizes the dignity of teachers。Due to subject direction,Most of Mr. Park’s disciples are artists,Some are already under construction、Painting、Music、Achievements in dance and other fields,Or professors and scholars from other universities and research institutions。They meet regularly,The location is usually a cafe near the school,Everyone sits together,Order a beer,Casual chat,Chatting and laughing,Unrestricted。Sometimes the participants in such gatherings become professors from several nearby universities,So there is an atmosphere of an academic salon。Everyone is right
As a teacher from China, I have shown sufficient interest,Asked many questions about China’s education situation and teachers’ teaching and research,It also shows a lack of understanding of China。Once when I was chatting with several professors from the Department of British and American Literature,Speaking of Nabokov、David Lodge、Borges、Calvino、Milan Kundera、Writers such as Coetzee,A teacher asked me with concern,Will there be any trouble if you bet365 online betting apptell "Lolita" to students in school?The surprised expression after he received a negative answer。Professors from several universities have expressed their cooperation with Shandong University、Desire to establish a long-term exchange and cooperation mechanism with the School of Literature and Journalism and the Research Center for Literary and Aesthetics。Teacher Park recently accepted the invitation from the Literary Aesthetics Research Center to give lectures in our school,When he talked about his work and life experience in Jinan,Especially when it comes to Jinan’s food,Everyone’s spirits were lifted。The most unforgettable thing about Teacher Park is the fish head soup at Awa Village at the foot of Qianfo Mountain,When he describes how delicious it is,A longing look around。
Of course,The role of academic exchanges between China and South Korea、The impact goes far beyond food and friendship。
