Taiwan Ambassador’s visit on 19 Nov 2012

We were very honored to have invited Dr. Shen, the Representative of TRO in the UK, to come to give us a talk on Modern Chinese History at Reading School. He went through a collection of unique treaties signed at the end of Qing dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China and explained the implications and impact on the Chinese as a nation. All students and teachers present felt that they had had learned a lot from his speech and inspired to know more about the Chinese history and culture.

The speech ended with a “posh” buffet lunch at the school refectory. Dr. Shen spent lots of time talking to the students and answering their questions. Students were all very impressed not only by his knowledge about modern Chinese history but also his very approachable personal charisma.
