On February 14th, 2022,
Eve of Lantern Festival, National Central Library held on-line Lunar New Year
reception for visiting scholars. More
than 30 scholars interacted and paid one another a courtesy call during Lunar
New Year period by using videoconferencing to experience Lunar New Year
reunion!
Director-General of National Central
Library, Dr. Shu-hsien Tseng, gave the opening address at this reception to
warmly welcome scholars come to Taiwan, wish them a Happy Lunar New Year and to
prosper with fury like a tiger so that everyone will be successful in life,
work and research in the year of Tiger!
2022
on-line reception was held by Chinese Center for Studies for the first time, therefor,
as the host, we prepared “Lucky Words for the Year of Tiger” in both Taiwanese
and English to wish everybody lots of luck and presented our sincerity with
tiger-shaped props. In return, scholar
from Japan sang a song, “Gōngxǐ Fācái”, in Mandarin; scholar from Philippine
read and introduced a Spanish pome to us!
Another two marvelous scholars came after to share their personal
extraordinary experience in Taiwan’s daily life while they’ve been living here
for more than two years.
