The Top Talent Training Program, initiated by the University of Science and Technology Beijing in Spring 2024, exemplifies a pioneering approach to globalizing Chinese higher education. This comprehensive program, backed by the China Education Association for International Exchange, leverages directives from China’s national educational strategy and the global expertise of over one hundred distinguished professors from world-renowned institutions. Offering 103 courses entirely in English, the program spans diverse disciplines, emphasizing interdisciplinary knowledge and real-world application through a dual-phase educational model. The initiative not only bolsters the international competencies of students but also fosters significant academic and professional advancements. This paper evaluates the program’s design, implementation, and outcomes, highlighting its profound impact on students and suggesting future directions for expanding its global and educational reach.
The film Rebirth, starring Eric Chang and Ruan Jingtian, tells the story of two people with very different personalities who meet for the same purpose of revenge and desire to seek redemption in that revenge. This paper will analyze the film 'Rebirth', examining the impact and costs of revenge on the individual involved and those potentially affected, as well as delving into the concept of redemption between individuals and the intricacies of human nature as depicted in the film. This paper will study the psychological impact of revenge on the characters and the moral dilemma from a psychological perspective; then analyze it from a socio-cultural perspective, exploring the diversity of the expression of the theme of revenge in different cultures; and finally analyze the visual language of the film, analyzing the portrayal of each character as well as the transformation of each scene at the moment of revenge through the study of the film's plot. This paper will combine the above factors to analyze the ending and cost of‘revenge’, conclude that the cost of revenge is multi-dimensional, mixed with the complexity of human nature, and reflect on the social phenomenon with the content of the film so as to provoke more thoughts.
Spring Dance, composed in the 1980s by Sun Yiqiang, who was born in 1948 in Shanghai, is a piano piece with distinct Chinese national characteristics. At the invitation of his friend Liu Shikun, Sun Yiqiang traveled to Xinjiang to conduct field research on local music. He was particularly inspired by observing the joyful scenes of people dancing and riding horses after work, which became the foundation for his composition. The music reflects Sun’s genuine emotional response to these experiences, blending both gentle and passionate tones, creating dynamic contrasts throughout the piece. It incorporates the musical elements from Xinjiang, giving the composition a regional flavor. The listener can almost feel the warmth of the Xinjiang people and the beauty of the region’s environment through the music. The analysis of these elements in Spring Dance enable foreign piano enthusiasts to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture, particularly the musical characteristics of ethnic minorities in that border region. This, in turn, helps promote Chinese culture as a bridge of friendship both domestically and internationally.
The increasing prevalence of hate speech in digital spaces has become a growing concern, particularly with the advancement of technological tools, with sexual minorities being a primary target of this growing phenomenon. While prior research has primarily focused on the psychological impact of hate speech on victims, the effects on those who spread such hate remain underexplored. This study aims to examine the relationship between actively spreading LGBTQ+-related misinformation and the mental health of message spreaders. To investigate this, Twitter user accounts that used the #superstraight hashtag, a meme popularized in February 2021 to express transphobic sentiments, were analyzed over a three-month period. Sentiment analysis of posts from 421 users, conducted before and after the period of spreading the messages, revealed a negative correlation between the dissemination of misinformation and users’ mental health. These findings suggest that the dissemination of hate speech is associated with a decline in the mental well-being of individuals who propagate such messages. This research highlights the harm of online hate on all and provides insights into combating hate speech.
