CSSA SOAS – Ziwu Forum
Unknown Parameter Value of a poem from ‘The Dream of Red Chamber’
The CSSA-SOAS and the Meridian Society will be hosting the second public talk this academic year on Friday 24th October, 2008 at the School of Oriental and African Studies
The lecture, entitled “Unknown Parameter Value of a poem from a masterpiece of Chinese literature The Dream of Red Chamber (紅樓夢)”. This novel is renowned as one of the Chinese Four Great Classical Novels. It was composed in the mid 18th century during the Qing Dyansty. It is attributed to Cao Xueqin (曹雪芹). It is generally acknowledged as one of the seminal works of classical Chinese fiction. The novel is believed to be semi-autobiographical, mirroring the fortunes of Cao’s own family. The novel is remarkable not only for its huge cast of characters (most of them female) and psychological scope, but also for its precise and detailed observation of the life and social structures typical of 18th-century Chinese aristocracy.
The lecturer, Mr David Liqun Su, is an established Chinese language specialist, humanist, writer and playwright. Mr. Su is well known as having been the main Mandarin teacher at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London between 1987 and 2007. For over 20 years Mr Su has taught Chinese language and culture classes at SOAS to individuals, businesses and organisations, including MOD, Foreign Office, British Council and financial institutions.
Note: This talk will be conducted in Chinese (Mandarin).

讲座简介：參悟 好与了
世人都曉神仙好，惟有功名忘不了。
古今將相在何方，慌冢一堆草沒了。
世人都曉神仙好，只有金銀忘不了。
終朝只恨聚無多，及到多時眼閉了。
世人都曉神仙好，只有姣妻忘不了。
君生日日說恩情，君死又隨人去了。
世人都曉神仙好，只有兒孫忘不了。
癡心父母古來多，孝順子孫誰見了。
