In mid-March, a group of students and faculty from the MBA program at the University of Hong Kong embarked on a journey of cultural exploration through TBC’s ChinaContact program, starting with a tour to TBC. They visited various companies in Beijing, immersing themselves in the local work atmosphere and corporate culture. Along the way, they experienced the majestic beauty of ancient palaces at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, feeling the profound history of China. They also visited the Great Wall, experiencing the magnificent grandeur brought forth by this historical monument.
In addition, they visited the Beijing Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe, which boasts a history of over 60 years. There, not only did they enjoy a splendid Peking opera performance, but they also tried their hand at painting Peking opera facial masks, deeply appreciating the unique charm of this traditional Chinese art form.
This week, TBC was pleased to welcome Fall Semester students Mars, Jen, and Thomas! We are thrilled to have them join us this fall as they embark on an exciting academic journey in Beijing.
The Beijing Center is thrilled to have hosted Xavier High School faculty members Headmaster Kim, history educator Edward, Fr. Spinale, assistant professor at Fordham University, and alumnus James and his wife Penny during their week-long visit to Beijing.
