The lecture discusses the biographies of five assassins in Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji史记). It examines the reasons for the inclusion and exclusion of certain assassins in Shiji, identifying some narrative strategies that are crucial to the Grand Historian's historiography. In particular, the lecture will address the question regarding Sima Qian's omission of a famous assassin Yao Li 要離, whose name and portrait later appeared on the wall of the famous Wuliang Temple, where six rather than five assassins were honored.

Chi-hsiang Lee (李纪祥) is Dean of the College of Humanities and Professor of History at the Fo Guang University in I-lan, Taiwan. He has published widely on ancient Chinese history and thought. His publications include two books on Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), as well as several monographs titled Time, History, and Narrative: Reconsidering the Tradition of Chinese History (2001), The Development of Confucianism from Late Ming to Early Qing (1988), etc. His current projects examine the relationship between the study of Shiji and world sinology.

About this week’s film “Skin”: Ten year-old Sandra is distinctly African looking. Her parents, Abraham and Sannie, are white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. They are shopkeepers in a remote area of the Eastern Transvaal and, despite Sandra’s mixed-race appearance, have lovingly brought her up as their ‘white’ little girl. Skin tells the story of a brown girl and her white biological parents.

This workshop is for members of HEADS and we will talk about presenting your story through resumes, cover letters, interviews, and at career fairs.

Under Wynton Marsalis’ direction, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) performs a repertoire across the full jazz spectrum — from the music’s New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. By creating and performing an expansive range of brilliant new music for quartets to big bands, chamber music ensembles to symphony orchestras, tap dance to ballet, Wynton has expanded the vocabulary for jazz and created a vital body of work that places him among the world’s finest musicians and composers. On this new tour and to celebrate Wynton’s 50th birthday, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will showcase a retrospective of Wynton’s music written for big band. The JLCO may also perform the unique repertoire for which it is renowned worldwide: modern jazz renditions of traditional favorites, including tunes by Thelonious Monk; classic Blue Note Records selections by Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, Lee Morgan, and Joe Henderson; and modern compositions and arrangements by jazz contemporaries. “The audience was weak from applauding and shouting and jumping up and down with the joy of the great music it had heard.” (El Universal/The Herald)
