Spirited Conversations - Wednesday 23 August
Dr JACKIE COOK will lead discussion on
China in the 1980s: real-life stories from a time of transition
New Zealander Jackie Cook lived and worked in the Chinese city of Xi'an in the 1980s, tasked with helping to update the training of English teachers for the five Northwestern Provinces and Regions of China.
Those who entered China's universities in the 1980s had been born into a new nation - along with a powerful code of Liberation, and a childhood of Cultural Revolutionary ferment. They were about to confront a young adulthood of successive waves of change.
Jackie will show what China's 'opening up' to the world meant in personal terms, for young professionals unexpectedly charged with finding their own future.
