On 16 November 2015, Dr. Liang Jiyong, Visiting Researcher of the Institute of the Chinese Classic of Sun Yat-sen University and Visiting Lecturer at the Faculty of Humanities and Arts of the Macau University of Science and Technology, was invited by the ICS to give a talk for the Lingnan Cities Culture Lecture Series on the topic of "Zhang Yinhuan and His Friends". During the talk, Dr. Liang introduced the life story of Zhang Yinhuan and his association with some of the most important officials in the late Qing Dynasty. Dr Liang showed in detail the personal choices made by the late Qing official Zhang Yinhuan during a transitional time in China, from which we can form a historical picture of the officials, especially Guangdong officials in late Qing China.
