1.EXPERTS IN CHINA STUDIES GATHER IN SHANGHAI TO DISCUSS CHINA'S PAST & PRESENT

世界中国学大会·上海论坛在沪举办

Around 400 scholars from home and abroad shared their interpretation of China’s past and present at the World Conference on China Studies Shanghai Forum today. Reporter Zhang Hong takes a look.

在今天（11/24）举行的世界中国学大会·上海论坛上，400余位海内外知名专家学者分享了他们对中国过去和现在的解读。本台记者张泓带来详细报道。

Three scholars were given the Distinguished Contribution to China Studies award at today’s opening ceremony. Canadian historian Timothy Brook was one of them. In addition to serving as the general editor of Harvard University Press “History of Imperial China”, he has published extensively on China in the world with a major focus on the Ming dynasty.

在今天的开幕式上，三位学者被授予“中国学贡献奖”。加拿大历史学家卜正民（Timothy Brook）是其中之一。除了担任哈佛大学出版社《哈佛中国史》丛书的总编辑，他还在世界范围内发表了大量关于中国的著作，其中以明朝为主要研究对象。

“I think the importance of getting foreigners to understand Chinese history is to make Chinese history not appear to be something that is far away and strange and different. Whether this has an impact on how we understand each other today, I think it does because if you can reduce the ignorance Chinese have of the world and the world has of China, then you reduce the animosity【敌意】 that can arise between people outside China and Chinese people.”

“我认为，让外国人了解中国历史的重要性在于让中国历史不再显得遥远、陌生和与众不同。我认为这会对我们今天如何相互理解产生影响，因为如果能减少中国人对世界和世界对中国的无知，那么就能减少中国以外的人和中国人之间可能产生的敌意。”

Academic Zhang Weiwei talked about modern Chinese civilization.

学者张维为以“中华文明的现代性”为题发表了主旨演讲。

“It’s the combination of tradition and modernity that makes China rise and China civilization tick. This concept of ‘minben zhuyi’, people’s livelihood first, is very traditional, very Confucius. It’s contained in the ‘Shangshu’, which was 2,500 years ago. We look at China performing today. China has eradicated【根除】 extreme poverty. China has equated world’s largest middle class, 400 million. All these have to do with the government’s policy focusing on people’s livelihood first.”

“正是传统与现代的结合，让中国崛起，让中华文明熠熠生辉。民本主义的理念非常传统，非常孔子。它载于 2500 年前的《尚书》。我们看看今天中国的表现。中国消除了极端贫困。中国拥有世界上最大的 4 亿中等收入群体。这一切都与政府民生优先的政策有关。”

Rachel Murphy, a professor from the University of Oxford, has been looking at labor migration in China since the late 1990s.

牛津大学教授雷切尔·墨菲（Rachel Murphy）自 20 世纪 90 年代末以来一直在研究中国的农民工话题。

“There’s many aspects of social change and transformation in China that echoes or resonates with experiences in other countries. But then there’s also unique aspects of the Chinese context that affect how this plays out and how this affects people. And that is part of the value of Chinese studies and area studies, because the emphasis is on context, on multifaceted【多层面的】 context, on looking at the society, the culture, the politics, the demography altogether in order to understand what’s going on.”

“中国社会变革和转型的许多方面都与其他国家的经验相呼应或产生共鸣。但中国的国情也有其独特之处，影响着这一切的发生，影响着中国人民。这也是中国研究和地区研究的价值所在，因为研究的重点在于背景，在于多方面的背景，在于从社会、文化、政治、人口学等多方面来理解正在发生的事情。”

Professor Murphy also noted that in the past, Chinese studies was very dominated by western scholarship, but now she sees more scholars from different parts of the world who are contributing to the English language global dialogue about what China is, how China is changing the world and how the world is changing China.

墨菲教授还指出，过去的中国研究主要由西方学者主导，但现在她看到更多来自世界不同地区的学者在用英语开展全球对话，探讨中国是什么、中国如何改变世界以及世界如何改变中国。

2.THE GREAT COMET MUSICAL WILL MAKE ITS ASIAN DEBUT IN SHANGHAI NEXT YEAR

“The other thing that is kind of a cornerstone【基石】of the piece is how the piece incorporates【包含】so many different styles of music. So, there’s classical and Jazz and rock, hip hop, pop, so any kind of possible music that you can imagine made it into the score and that’s what makes it so interesting.”

“还有一点也是这部作品的基石，那就是这部作品融合了多种不同的音乐风格。其中有古典音乐、爵士乐、摇滚乐、嘻哈音乐、流行音乐，你能想象到的任何一种音乐都被融入到了乐谱中，这也是（这部作品）如此有趣的原因。”

Award-winning South Korean stage designer Pilyoung Oh had 400 seats removed from the theater’s front row, and added four ring-shape audience pools to the stage, turning it into a more immersive space for audiences to watch the Russian court dances.

屡获殊荣的韩国舞台设计师吴弼泳（Pilyoung Oh）从剧院前排移走了400个座位，并在舞台上增设了四个环形观众池座，使观众沉浸式观看俄罗斯宫廷舞蹈。

“It’s an immersive show performed in a grand theater, which allows the audience to get very close, just like how we’re talking with each other right now. In some segments, performers even invite spectators to join them on stage.”

“它其实是沉浸式和大剧场呈现的综合体，这在全世界也是首例这是非常近距离的体验，近到差不多咱们俩之间的距离，甚至有些桥段演员会拉观众们来加入舞会、狂欢，参与到其中。”

Unlike other introduced musical productions, “Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812” is not a copy-paste version from Broadway. It’s an updated, localized version that contains many fresh elements.

与其他引进的音乐剧不同，《娜塔莎、皮埃尔和 1812 年的大彗星》不是百老汇版本的复制粘贴。它是一个更新的本地化版本，包含了许多新鲜元素。

“This time it’s us, the Chinese side, that lead the whole production and the Broadway team offered us a lot of help. We’ve spent nearly 20 years to learn and explore, including introducing a lot of original western shows and created a Chinese version. And now, I believe it’s time for us deliver our achievement to the public.”

“这次是完全是以我们为主导的，而且百老汇的这样一个团队也是给了我们一个非常大的一个支撑，除了音乐和唱词没有变之外，其他的我们都做了升级版。我们觉得是时候我们来做一个创新融合的作品的时候，那这个过程其实我们用了20多年的时间，那这20多年我们用引进剧目和中文版剧目，包括原创剧目都在是一个学习和探索的过程，现在是要交一份答卷，给大家呈现一个剧目的成果的时候。”

The musical “Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812” made its off-Broadway debut in 2012, and hit the Broadway stage in 2016. It was nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 2017, and won two. The show will play at the New Bund 31 Performing Arts Center in Pudong until March 3.
