Last Sunday (06/09/13) afternoon, our beloved GO teacher Ms. Jie Tang (US North East GO tournament 5D Champion) hosted the Greater New York GO EXPO in Huaxia Chinese School Greater New York (HXGNY) with great success. Ms. Jie Tang is not only an experienced GO teacher and an excellent GO player, she also has a very insightful understanding of the GO wisdom. In this event, Ms. Jie Tang shared with us her teaching experience and her understanding of GO philosophy, which is summarized as “Life is Go as GO is life”. Also, a software engineer from Microsoft Inc, Dr. Chun Sun from Boston had a short teaching session titled as “A Brief Introduction to Computer Go”. In addition, the film directors for “The Surrounding Game”, Mr. Will Lockhart and Mr. Cole Davis Pruitt, discussed the movie with the audiences. The event also included the recreational GO activities for children, a mini class of “GO for dummies” along with professional GO masters’ impromptu performance. Many avid GO fans from around the East Coast visited HXGNY and participated in this event. All GO lovers, adults and children, enjoyed the free admission to this event and had a lot of fun. As the largest Chinese school in the area, HXGNY is not only dedicated to provide the best Chinese education, but also strives to build local Chinese community. We will continue our effort to organize more Chinese culture activities. Please click here for the event photos.

Keep up Chinese in the Summer (暑假期间，别忘学中文!):

Last day of school! Fun summer camps are waiting for you. Go relax at local beaches or travel around the world. But don’t leave your Chinese behind wherever you go. If you are a MLP student there is a booklet for summer homework. How handy! If you are MZHY student why don’t you start a reading log for Chinese books including your old Chinese textbooks. There are fun websites such as
http://www.ewritechinese.com/contestFAQ/ where you can register and enter a Chinese reading contest. When we all come back in the fall show off your achievement in Chinese reading and you will be surprisingly rewarded!
