2024-11-13 original

On 13th November, Shenzhen Hong Kong Pui Kiu College Longhua Xinyi School (PKXYS) held a special educational event - Pui Kiu Xinyi Master Classes. The school was honoured to welcome Ms. Nan Xiru, the great-granddaughter of Master Nan Huaijin and Director of the Nan Huaijin Cultural and Educational Foundation, as the guest speaker.

During the lecture, Ms. Nan Xiru provided an insightful analysis of the essence and value of traditional culture with the theme of "Traditional Culture and the Positioning of Young People in Society." She explored how young people can navigate the challenges of an ever-changing world while being kind, loving, and socially responsible. Her speech not only deepened students' understanding of traditional culture, but also inspired them to take on the responsibility of preserving and promoting Chinese culture.

Ms. Nan's speech was not only informative but also thought-provoking. Drawing on the wisdom of Master Nan Huaijin, she shared core concepts, such as the importance of "self-reliance" and mastering a skill that allows one to make a living independently. She also elaborated on the application and significance of these concepts in modern society so that the audience could better understand them. Quoting Master Nan's famous words, "A person's life is considered a career when he does something that contributes to the community, to the nation, and to the society as a whole," she reminded everyone of the responsibility to contribute to society while pursuing personal growth.

At one point in her speech, Ms. Nan quoted comedian Chris Rock: "I'd always end up broken down on the highway. When I stood there trying to flag someone down, nobody stopped. But when I pushed my own car, other drivers would get out and push with me. If you want help, help yourself." She used this to encourage students to build inner strength, maintain peace of mind, and approach life's challenges with a positive, proactive attitude.

Ms. Nan also shared her life principles: the ability to support oneself, a positive outlook on life, independent thinking, and outstanding qualities. She explained how these principles can be applied in everyday life and urged students to embrace them, internalising them so they can make a meaningful contribution to society.

This lecture provided PKXYS students and staff with much more than just knowledge; it was a truly enriching experience for the spirit. Looking ahead, we are committed to nurturing more outstanding students with a global perspective and a deep cultural understanding, empowering them to contribute to the development of our society.
