We are delighted to announce an upcoming public lecture at the Ming-Ai (London) Institute titled "From Burnout to Flow: Eastern Wisdom for Focus and Energy | 不疲憊的活法：東方智慧與現代人的「心流」奇蹟." The session will be delivered by Xue mo , a contemporary Chinese writer and cultural thinker.

In a world of constant notifications and endless information, many feel completely drained by the end of the day, even without physical labour. What really exhausts us is often the constant stream of restless thoughts and inner resistance. In this seminar, Xue Mo will share his insights on how to achieve a "mind free from distracting thoughts" and enter a state of flow, drawing from traditional Eastern wisdom and his life training in the extreme landscapes of Western China.

在資訊爆炸、焦慮感與日俱增的時代，真正消耗我們的往往不是工作本身，而是大腦中奔騰不息的「雜念」與內心的「對抗」。著名作家雪漠老師將通過本次講座，分享他如何透過生命訓練達到「心無雜念」，並結合東方智慧探討如何在繁雜日常中進入「心流」狀態，將精神內耗轉化為滋養生命的泉源。

👤 嘉賓：雪漠 （中國當代著名作家、文化學者）
雪漠老師是兩度獲茅盾文學獎提名的重量級作家。他的代表作如《大漠祭》、《沙漠的女兒》由名譯者葛浩文（Howard Goldblatt）操刀翻譯，短篇小說更曾登上英國《衛報》。他長年扎根於甘肅祁連山與戈壁沙漠，從極限環境中淬鍊出驚人的生命韌性與深邃哲思。

Last Friday, Ming-Ai (London) Institute was proud to partner with the University of Westminster to deliver Heritage in Action: A Workshop & Book Launch at Fyvie Hall, Regent Street. The event opened with remarks from Dr Lucy Bond, Head of the School of Humanities at Westminster, and Ms Chungwen Li, Dean of Ming-Ai (London) Institute, highlighting the importance of cultural heritage, community engagement, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The event examined how documentary film and historical fiction can bring renewed visibility to the Chinese Labour Corps (CLC), whose contribution to the First World War has long remained marginal in mainstream narratives. Highlights included a documentary screening by Caroline Chu and the launch of For Whom the Temple Waits (by Clive Harvey and Caroline Chu, with artwork by Shiquan Zou and historical photographs by John de Lucy).

A panel chaired by Prof Cangbai Wang, with contributions from leading scholars, explored geopolitics, memory and representation, including Dr Anne Witchard, Dr Michael Nath, Dr Frances Wood, and Prof Anna Branach-Kallas. The discussion reaffirmed the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in shaping more inclusive and globally informed approaches to heritage.

Holland Kwok arrived as a young immigrant to the United Kingdom from Hong Kong in 1958 and started working in restaurants as a way of providing for his new life in London. Along the way, he discovered that it was more than simply a job, restaurants were his passion, and with the opening of The Good Earth his dream was realised. Today the Good Earth Restaurant stands as a testament of the values and virtual that Holland stood for. In 1991 Holland help create Ming-Ai with its founder, Dr Therese Shak and became its first Chairman. Under his leadership Ming-Ai prospered and grew as a charitable organisation supporting the Chinese community in the UK. Through his tenure Holland made generous donations and personal commitments to support the efforts of Ming-Ai and was a steadying hand in helping Ming-Ai navigate the challenges of creating a heritage legacy for the Chinese people who chose to live and work in the United Kingdom. Holland will be sadly missed by all that know him, but his kindness will endure and fondness for him will live on in our memories.

Topic: Migrant Entrepreneurship and Community Building

This session will explore how migrant food entrepreneurs contribute to identity building and community connections across London. Drawing on a knowledge-exchange project funded by Middlesex University’s Higher Education Innovation Fund (2024–25), the talk examines how everyday entrepreneurial practices challenge stereotypes and empower marginalised groups within the UK’s contemporary political landscape.



We are delighted to welcome Dr Rui Su, Senior Lecturer in Tourism and Research and Knowledge Exchange Lead at Middlesex University London. Dr Su’s work spans cultural entrepreneurship, tourist psychology, museology, war studies, and urban planning, with publications in leading international journals.

Each November, the sight of poppies across the UK reminds us to honour those who gave their lives in war. On this year’s Armistice Day, Ming Ai (London) Institute joined fellow Chinese community organisations at the Cenotaph to pay tribute to the Chinese Labour Corps and Chinese soldiers who served alongside the British forces in both World Wars.

Our British Chinese Heritage Centre continues to preserve their legacy through the WWI Chinese Labour Corps Database, a project dedicated to education, remembrance, and research.

昨日是2025年的停戰紀念日，華人團體在和平紀念碑默哀紀念為戰爭犧牲生命的華工和軍人。待簡單而隆重的儀式結束後，大家在和平紀念碑前合照，並哀悼逝去的生命，以示謝意。

一如既往，明愛（倫敦）學院在這個重要的日子特意到場向軍人們致意。其他華人團體和組織亦到場致意。

本學院轄下的英國華人文化傳承中心網站設有由志工提供支援的計畫「一戰華工資料庫」，收集和編譯有關華工的現有資源，以用於教育、未來研究和學術用途。
