When was Beijing’s city wall torn down? Where is the first ring road? When did the Forbidden City become a museum? How did the Japanese occupation affect the city? 


This Saturday we will take out more than 20 original Beijing maps from our collection that we seldom have on display for our walk “The Evolution of Modern Beijing”. We will start off at the Beijing city planning museum, then walk through the nearby hutongs and finally end at our gallery with a display of rare maps of Beijing, and a well-deserved drink.

Now's the time to sign up for our May English childbirth classes! To celebrate Mother's Day, we're offering two sessions this month.
 
Cindy Yan and Grace Yu, two midwives with a combined 50+ years of international experience, will teach the class, which is free of charge and includes light snacks and fruit.
 
This class aims to educate parents on researched information, empower them to make informed choices during labor and instill confidence in the birth experience. We highly recommend the childbirth preparation classes for all first-time parents, whether you plan on giving birth at BJU or elsewhere. We at BJU would like to make this special time in your lives even more special!

HOW MUCH: Admission is RMB 200 for members of RASBJ and partner RAS branches, RMB 50 for Yenching Scholars; RMB 300 for non-members. The cost includes a token for one free drink and canapes.

As a rehearsal for their actual dissertation defence, three Masters students at Yenching Academy of Peking University have five minutes each to give us insight into their dissertations, after which moderators David Moser and Alan Babington-Smith attempt to recreate the inquisitive vibe of a panel of professors at their actual defence later this month.


Their topics are:


Ariel: United States and PRC’s responses to a UN stalemate over the future of space resource governance


Morrison: Ideological and political education and State legitimacy; comparing China and UK


Lauryn: How do country nicknames used online (such as little Japanese, old American, etc. 小日本、老美、战斗民族、巴铁) reflect or create nationalism, national identity and sentiments towards other countries?


All attendees may ask questions to round off the event.
This is an experiment based on the "3-Minute Thesis" competition that is increasingly common at universities, and may become an annual RASBJ/Yenching event.
