Chairman Yi-Yuan Chen of NCKU Department of Chinese Language pointed out, “International sinology is familiar with Prof. Hing-Ho Chan. Prof. Hing-Ho Chan of French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) is an internationally renowned scholar on the overall research of Chinese study. During his visiting period at NCKU Department of Chinese Language, Prof. Hing-Ho Chan has participated in the survey, compilation and research of East Asian sinology and folk culture, supplementing and collating Japanese Chinese novels, Vietnamese Chinese novels and Chinese literature of the missionaries.”
Prof. Hing-Ho Chan has personally led two master students and four doctoral students from the Department of Chinese Language in study session every Thursday and paid special attention to the research of Southern Fujian Culture which is promoted by National Cheng Kung University, National Kinmen Institute of Technology and Xiamen University.
Prof. Yi-Yuan Chen emphasized, “As an international sinologist, Prof. Hing-Ho Chan has brought fruitful academic concepts and resources of the overall study of Sinology and the research of Southern Fujian Culture to NCKU Department of Chinese Language.”
Prof. Hing-Ho Chan revealed, “To engage in the research of local culture, one must have understand the culture as a whole. To truly understand Taiwanese culture, we should look at it within Southern Fujian Culture. After a complete understanding of the culture, we can clearly observe its characteristics and commonalities to solve the issues we face in the research process. The cross-strait economy has already cooperated with economies in East Asian countries. Thus, in the future, we should promote mutual understanding and eliminate mutual psychological confrontation through cultural cooperation.”
Prof. Hing-Ho Chan also stated, “The preservation of different local cultures can enrich larger culture. If a nation only has one kind of culture rather than different kinds of culture for mutual comparison and influence, it’ll be monotonous. I hope Southern Fujian Culture can continue to develop and more people will engage in Southern Fujian Culture research.”
