On 21st October 2021, the Confucius Institute (CI) at the University of Southampton successfully held its first webinar in the series Discovering China’, delivered by Professor Ruoling Zheng, Chinese Director of CI.

Professor Zheng gave an excellent lecture on ‘Confucius and Chinese Education’ to more than 100 teachers and students from the School of Humanities of the University of Southampton. She explained the main ideas of Confucius and their influence on Chinese education. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the lecture was held online and hosted by Dr Ying Zheng, English Director of CI.

The 40-minute webinar provided participants with an understanding of Confucius’s life, his main ideas as well as his impact on Chinese education. After the webinar, teachers and students left messages expressing their gratitude to Professor Zheng saying that the lecture was interesting and meaningful, and they looked forwarded to participating in other relevant webinars.

There will be three more lectures in the series of ‘Discovering China’ in Semester 1. Please watch out for more details on CI website.
