Recently, from a book talk at B&N's on "The Submission" by NYTimes regional director, to the speech of the designer, Michael Arad, of the World Trade Center's memorial site at Columbia's Avery Hall, till today's Cafe Social Science series at the PicNic by Prof. Peter Bearman on documentary collective memories about 9-11 with oral history method, and many other events, I have had several thoughts that I would like to share here from my own perspective as we co-lived through this period of history. Will write on:
- The day of 9-11, very last day of the military camp for freshmen of my college and very first day of our college life.
- Reactions of my fellow students in China on that day, and now after 10 years, their changes.
- How the event reshaped many values about life, belief, peace, rights, tolerance, globalization, etc. of the younger generation of China.
- Some impacts noticeably different of 9-11 on my generation in China and my peers in the US and what it means for our world today.
A little piled up with my research projects but I have had so many thoughts lining up in my mind to be written, stay tuned.
