On the evening of April 28, a lecture on the theme of Comparing
American & Chinese Cultures was delivered by Mr. Tong Yat Ping,
a Hong Kong-born Chinese-American philanthropist. The lecture
focused on the similarity and difference between Chinese and
American cultures in regards to values, social relations, social
ceremonies and social customs.
Mr. Tong Yat Ping visited Zhaoqing University between April 17
and May 3 as a teaching volunteer, and during this time he
trained students for speech contests, supervised student job
interviews, and delivered lectures to both teachers and students
at the Foreign Languages Faculty.
Mr. Tong is committed to the charity work, especially in the
development of education in mainland China. He is a member of
the council at the Fuhui Charity Foundation, Hong Kong. He was a
volunteer at a normal school in Hubei Province for 3 years. This
