interview-revised

Chien-tsuen Chen, assistant of cross-strait organization

A: Does joining the cross-straight camp make your life different or inspire your values of life?
Q: Yes, of course. Living under this political and military threat from China, also exaggerate statements by mass media, we somewhat might be influenced then feel hostility towards people in China; nevertheless, after having the real contact with students from there, my previous attitude changed! I experience the sincere relations between Taiwan and Chinese students. They learn how to think more widely in such a complicated cross-straight case and be mature towards things happened to them.

A: Since being involved with so many teams, which team or activity impresses you the most? Why?
Q: Actually, every team has their own distinguishing features such as planning ability or communication skills. Since our members with kinds of characteristics come from different departments, you’ll see various sparkles happened on them; therefore, it’s really hard to tell which team I like the best. I like every one of them!!

A: What’s the difference between students of two sides?
Q: In my opinion, I think Taiwanese students are more creative than China’s. While facing the same issue, our students can always bring up interesting ideas and statements without much more thinking. On the other hand, student from China are a little bit serious sometimes. But this characteristic becomes an advantage on their studies. They are more cautious and active with school works; on the contrary, we Taiwanese students are opportunistic. They always find the easiest way to pass the exams and tough tasks.

A: What can attract an Otaku to sign up for the cross-straight team?
Q: We have many members so called “Otaku” in our team. Like what you depict, they spend lots of time on on-line games and don’t pay much attention on their appearance; however, obviously, they really excel at computer stuff! They can file the minute and complicated document well through computer.We need their skill and concentration on works. In cross-straight organization, they not only can give full play to their ability but have more chances to deal with people instead of on-line games.

A: What’s the possible development of cross-strait organization in the future?
Q: Speaking of the development, Professor Sung and I indeed develop some proposals and several of them are put in practice in certain extent. I’m quite not sure what cross-straight organization might be, but you students’ vigor are definitely our sources to grow.

organized comments on “Foreigner Eye on Otaku Guy”

In Gracie’s “Foreigner Eye on Otaku Guy”, our group suggest that the more clear definition to Otaku is better. Every different culture may have a word bears a similar meaning to another’s but exists a little difference indeed. To Japanese and Taiwan, Otaku might be negative; on the contrary, in other country, it might be neutral or even positive.
Still, drawing a conclusion in the last paragraph will be better.

[1:46] catecha Inaka: yeah, conclusion is necessary
[1:48] catecha Inaka: so americans called them nerd, japanese called otaku, did they have some differences or not
[1:48] catecha Inaka: maybe there's some difference you could ask

Cross-strait Organization-revised

The idea of Cross-strait Organization is originated with Dr. Kai Sung. It’s an expansion evolved from “Cross-strait Academic Exchanges and Discussion” in National Central University. “Through this chance, students can directly get in touch with students from China then realize the similarities and dissimilarities between each other,” said Professor Sung. “Obviously, the future of the two sides across the Taiwan Strait must be built on mutual cooperation; thus, we aim our goal at cross-straits economics, culture and relationship.”









Dr. Kai Sung

As time goes by, Cross-strait Organization develops into two different types, “receptionist team” and “visitor team.” “Receptionist team” takes the responsibility to receive the students and teachers coming from China; on the other hand, “visitor team” goes China in person and spends ten or more days dealing with students of their same age there.Since established, Shenzhen University, Shan Tung University, Hua Chung University, etc…have regular and periodical team-visiting with National Central University so far. By to and fro every year, student’s relationship between two sides becomes close. There is no more politics or sensitive issues, the friendship among those students are simple and true.

Every receptionist team or visitor team, with different universities, has their specific topics to focus on. It may include Entrepreneurship or Originality Competition. Moreover, they hold various symposia to discuss their daily life, life philosophy and even the issues about politics. Unlike what depicted in the textbook, we are indeed similar to each other. Though living in different backgrounds, we learned from an analogous education system. Besides, we shared the value system alike.

organized comment on "NCU Has it ALL!"

The OIA of NCU provides an interesting and also effective program to those international students on campus. This program not only focuses on Chinese courses but spare no efforts immersing them into Chinese culture. Instead of grammar or words, language-learning should be involved with cultural-exposing. Aside from textbook, the environment and daily talks can help a language-learner progress more; however, our English educational system seems to go the opposite way. For better proficiency, we Taiwan student should take a more correct attitude toward language-learning.
