【Cultural Topics】College Head Professor Chan Sun-on chaired New Asia College Chinese Cultural Talk 2021/22

Jointly organized by New Asia Institute of Advanced Chinese Studies, New Asia College and New Asia College Alumni Association, and co-organized by New Asia Middle School, a lecture of “New Asia Chinese Cultural Talks” was held on 25 September 2021 at the Library of New Asia Middle School with our College Head Prof. Chan Sun-on as the speaker. Prof. Chan shared on the topic “The Silent Teachers”, and the talk was moderated by Prof. Lau Chor-wah, Director of New Asia Institute of Advanced Chinese Studies.

Prof. Chan introduced the "Silent Teacher" Body Donation Programme which was launched in 2011, with the aim of encouraging the public to donate their remains for medical education and research. Prof. Chan described the difficulties and setbacks at the initial stage, for example the need for dissection studying could not be met due to insufficient remains.

Prof. Chan also mentioned a few approaches and activities to promote the programme which included organizing community seminars regularly, setting up booths at the Senior Fair and inviting elders to visit the operating room in the CUHK Faculty of Medicine, etc. Some short videos and photos were also displayed at the seminars. The sharing from dependents of donors enabled the audience to understand the significance of the body donation programme, and some participants enthusiastically asked questions and shared their views in the Q&A sessions.
