匆匆近三載,時光已如水逝。迄今回首,昨日種種,猶在目前。課上聆聽諸師教誨,偶遇疑難,課後輒往問,每有煥然冰釋之感。年來從諸師習讀,古奧如訓詁小學、左氏史公之書,瑰麗如詩賦戲曲、傳奇小說之藝,創意如辭章文采、電影批評之論,嘗博取汎覽,是以知前賢今人之學,深而且精,雖兀兀窮年,猶未能盡其毫末。學業之外,師友風義,同窗情澤,自是難忘。猶憶燈下兩三人,披卷蘭臺,苦樂與共,庶幾可為追念。今將別離,青衿卸脫,然復有來者於斯,亦將以同懷視之。

逝者如斯,數年時光便如輕煙般的被吹散了。人很小,學海很大,中文系正正帶我見識學海中的大千世界。為學須通古今,不失於寡,在系內即能學習古典文學、現代文學、文學批評以至語言文字等不同範疇的中文知識。不論文字、音韻、語法等語文知識,還是詩詞、小說、戲曲、散文等各類古典文體,以至香港、台灣、中國等現代文學,我們都能一睹其美。禮失不必求諸野,系內四書、《左傳》,以及儒、佛、道三家文化與文學等專題科目,便能讓我們領略中國傳統文化的精粹。大學之道,在明明德,系內眾師治學嚴謹,為人謙厚,不僅在學科知識上為我們授業解惑,更傳以我們為學、做人之道。還有同窗好友朝夕相伴,在功課上交流意見,在生活上把手同樂,一起度過意氣浪漫的少年求學和求夢時光。畢業在即,總覺來如春夢,去似朝雲。良辰美景經無多時,卻深深刻在每個師生的腦海,一屆的人離去,自有一屆到來,但願中文系的夢能相續不斷,在學海上的天空開出百色的片片雲彩。

   

 

     

Contemporary English Studies Programme

CHAN, Chun Wing Johnny
Graduate of 2017
Exchange Student to the United Kingdom

 

It has been a fruitful journey for me to be one of the students in the Contemporary English Studies programme at Lingnan. The programme, with the hybridity of both Linguistics and Literature components, has equipped me with a wide range of academic knowledge as well as transferable skills. The extensiveness of the courses has encouraged me to engage in exploring language both critically and creatively. It is particularly exciting to look into the similarities and differences between the local and international contexts about the usage of language. Facilitated by the favourable class size, I have been given the opportunity to participate in highly interactive lessons while maintaining a close relationship with our professors. I have definitely enjoyed my four-year study in the Department of English, and I believe I am prepared to start a new chapter in my life with what I have gained here at Lingnan.

 
LAM Lind-sue, Lindsay
Graduate of 2015
Exchange Student to the United States
 
The Department of English encourages students to enhance their communication skills and gain a broader perspective on the world through overseas exchange programmes. I went to the United States for the first time and it was a memorable experience. The close-knit community in the Department has allowed me to interact and bond with professors who have stimulated my critical thinking skills. I have an inquisitive mind and have often raised questions and voiced my opinions in classes. The professors provided constructive feedback and new perspectives on film adaptation for my Independent Research Project, which has played a role in transforming me into a more analytical and self-motivated person.

I feel proud to be an English major and I have had a wonderful journey at Lingnan University.
     
     

Cultural Studies Programme

HO, Ka Hin
Graduate of 2017

 
Cultural Studies is a very unique experience. I was absolutely spoiled with immense amount of freedom in terms of studying. This is a field of study that encourages students to explore themselves, and develop their own identity during the four years of studies. It offered me many opportunities to be engaged in different parts of the society. Also, numerous skills were obtained during the process, such as video-making skills, interpersonal skills etc. It helped me develop a more thorough perspective to the world. I believe that my experience in cultural studies has made me a more open-minded person, and I learned to believe in myself in general.

Studying Cultural Studies at Lingnan has been a very challenging yet exciting and fulfilling learning journey. We are always encouraged to cast a critical gaze upon ourselves and the world around us, not to take for granted the conventional ideas and to put the concepts and theories we learn in classroom to test in practices. The intellectual input, patient guidance, and warm support from teachers enable us to embrace and tackle the complex issues we encounter in our everyday life, then make sense of these experiences for broadening our vision and sharpening our social awareness. This is a programme inspiring us to think and act out of the box.

     
     

History Programme

CHEUNG, Tung Misha
Graduate of 2014
MPhil Graduate of 2016,
Department of History, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

 

To be honest, studying history at Lingnan is not an easy task. You are going to sacrifice your sleep to finish the assigned readings; you have to write thousands of words a week; three to five term papers are waiting for you at the end of the semester. Nevertheless, you can get more than you paid and expected. You will be literally exposed to a world of knowledge, cutting across the horizons of time and space and gradually understanding the formation of the present. By studying this programme, you can learn more than facts and statistics. You will master the skills of problemsolving, analysis, critical thinking and comprehension. The teachers nurture and encourage students to think out of the box. The programme breaks your limits and prepares you for the forthcoming challenges of your life. If you are looking for transcendence, I sincerely recommend this inspiring programme to you.

Studying history is not just about facts, but is also about the ability of analysis, comparison, critical thinking and creativity. This is what I have learned from the History programme. Why is creativity needed in studying history? Because it helps us discover interesting topics that have greatly influenced our current daily life, e.g. history of bathing, women’s suffrage, social identity and even the culture of death, just to name a few. The three years at Lingnan has changed my way of seeing the modern world, and has made me believe that identifying the course of history is an essential step to understand current issues and to contribute to a better future. I sincerely recommend this programme to all who are curious about the making of our society and the world.

     
     

Philosophy Programme

MOK, Ka Yan
Graduate of 2017

 

The Department of Philosophy in Lingnan provides a wide variety of different courses in different fields, including aesthetics, moral and political philosophy, philosophy of science and a lot more, in order to suit students’ interests. Lingnan’s philosophy programme aims at fostering students’ analytic skills, which are applicable to both academic fields (analysing arguments of complicated texts) and life issues (how to live a wise life). The Department gathers a lot of talented philosophers from all over the world. Professors are patient, encouraging, and supportive that they are always willing to help out when students encounter difficulties both in life and studying philosophy. I am very glad that I have studied at Lingnan, where I have met some great professors who inspire me a lot that I am determined to pursue further studies in philosophy. Philosophy, love of wisdom, is not just confined to academic matters but it is also about how to live a good life.

 
TANG Kai-hong
Graduate of 2015
 

Philosophical questions are not only for philosophers; in fact, many of them are practical and highly related to our lives – for instance: why be moral? Lingnan philosophy helps students to solve philosophical puzzles in at least two ways. Firstly, there is the emphasis on the clarity of thought and language, and the importance of avoiding ambiguities. Secondly, Lingnan has different kinds of courses that guide the students directly to the problems they face in their lives – for example, courses on ethics, aesthetics, and philosophy of science. But most importantly we have teachers from different cultural backgrounds who are willing to spend time on students and treat students as friends. An expected outcome is that students will be more independent thinkers after their studying at Lingnan.

     
     

Translation Programme

YOONG, Wai Chun Richard
Graduate of 2016
Exchange Student to the United States
Master’s Student, Department of Philosophy,
London School of Economics and Political

 

Science I grew a lot, both academically and personally, from the advice of my extremely friendly professors. Studying Translation in Lingnan means studying in small-size classes, which allow professors to know you well and vice versa. It’s not only possible, but usual, to have lunch with your professors, and talk about whatever you want. I was well equipped, and supported so much by my professors that I was able to secure a full scholarship from a prestigious university in London to pursue a master’s degree. I found my dream and realised it here. And I am sure you can too.

The Department of Translation offers chances to explore a comprehensive variety of subjects ranging from the Chinese and English languages, to literature and culture, and to more practical-oriented courses such as interpreting and business translation, allowing for versatility and opportunities to learn and to experiment. Most precious of all, professors teach and inspire with passion. They are great resources for academic inquiries and personal development whenever students are in need of trusted mentors for advice and help.  The education students receive here lays a solid foundation for postgraduate studies or to build a good career/professional life.

     
     

Visual Studies Programme

SO Wing-yi, Soyi
Graduate of 2014
Exchange Student to Korea 
 

Visual Studies (VS) is a very unique and distinct programme. Besides learning skills and theories, we focus on different ways of appreciating art. Taking into account the uniqueness of each student, the Department of Visual Studies provided many opportunities such as internships and art jamming classes for developing our strengths and interests. Moreover, all of our professors are so nice and generous that we can always count on their help and advice. I truly value the relationship we have built and it is an honour for me to be part of the “VS family”.
