An Invitation from the Confucius Institute for Scotland
20 May 2016
50
years ago this month the Cultural Revolution started as a political
movement, that with its violence, political radicalism and
utopianism brought tremendous changes to China's society. Its
contested legacy makes it probably still the least understood
period of modern China.
Next week award winning novelist and documentary film maker Xu
Xing will visit Edinburgh, and show two of his recent documentaries
on the Cultural Revolution. These are:
* "My Chronicle of the Cultural Revolution", May
26th 17.30 - 19.00
* "Criminal Records" May 27th 17.00 -
19.30
Both screenings will take place in LG11 on the lower ground floor
of the David Hume Tower. Following on from the
screening there will be a Q&A and session with the director and
a drinks reception.
For more information please see the brochure attached. Information can also be
found on our website www.confuciusinstitute.ac.uk
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at this special
event. As seat numbers are restricted, it would be helpful if you
could let us know by emailing
info@confuciusinstitute.ac.uk if you are planning
to attend.
