Focusing on different aspects of Chinese linguistics, the 12 lectures of the Institute attracted an enrollment of more than five hundred students and colleagues from not only the Greater Bay Area but also worldwide. In addition to the mission of the Institute to mainly open to colleagues and students based in the Greater Bay Area while welcoming those beyond, it also reflects the motto of the Institute: “Precious is to appreciate cultures of others as one appreciates one’s own. Through mutual understanding of diversity, the world will be a harmonious and united one.”
With its purpose of building up an academic exchange platform of openness and inclusiveness, the Institute will seek to bring more events in various forms and promote the cooperation and exchange in Chinese linguistics within and beyond the Greater Bay Area.
