鸿儒师生共叙谈
结缘厚含聚首时
举杯共饮识天下
以东方之雅韵，行西方之礼仪。2023年11月24日，香港中文大学（深圳）厚含书院首届高桌晚宴在深圳中海凯骊酒店隆重举行。
会场外，创意互动签到与古风长廊，还有国家级非遗代表项目 苏州评弹，同学们在吴侬软语的清丽中唱古今。会场内，金色的装饰与厚含的那一抹橙色点缀着典雅的氛围，筵席觥筹间，师生举杯相庆，共赴思想盛宴。
赏非遗之韵
“评弹弦索叮咚，如同江南的水。如果说评话犹如太湖般开阔澎湃，弹词则如穿街越巷的小桥流水。”高桌会场外的小舞台之上，厚含书院有幸邀请到苏州评弹中侯调流派的高玲老师带领师生品赏非遗之韵。几曲评弹，引现场观众驻足聆听，仿佛置身在江南的阡陌小巷中……唱词翩跹，百转千回，与师生共赏东方之典雅。
苏州评弹侯调艺术传承人高玲老师
高玲老师1980年代毕业于苏州评弹学校，师从母亲学习侯调艺术，是侯调流派的正宗传人之一。
（注：苏州评弹是苏州评话和苏州弹词的总称，是采用吴语徒口讲说表演的传统曲艺说书戏剧形式，大约形成于明末清初。苏州评弹与昆曲、苏州园林一起，成为苏州的“文化三绝”。2006年，苏州评弹入选第一批国家级非物质文化遗产新增项目名录。）

Adjusting to a Whole New World
I would like to thank very warmly Professors Cheng Shiu-Yuen, Master of Minerva College, and Xu Yangsheng, President of CUHK-SZ, for inviting me to speak at the Inaugural High-Table Dinner of this wonderful new College. And my sincere congratulations to all of you – students, staff and academics of Minerva – for being part of this very exciting journey to the future.
It is good to be back at CUHK-SZ. As our esteemed host just mentioned in his kind introduction of my person, some years back this campus was my campus and I called this outstanding university my home.
Some of you are starting your studies in this new college, while others are engaged in a postgraduate program. But the common thread that connects all students is that you are building your careers: the long path whose foundation is this time in University, to be followed by the great jobs that you will have.
Well, I have some news for you. New challenges await you, that your teachers did not quite face in their day, and on which you will not get much teaching. Challenges that you will need to discover by yourselves.
The world is not only changing in real time, as it always has, but it is now changing in just years as much as it used to take a half century for it to happen. This makes almost every aspect of life, and particularly work, much less predictable than ever.
Put differently, the root challenge, is that our lives are linear; our DNA was built for a certain pace of change. But actual change around us is exponential. I mean the increasingly breakneck speed of technology as the driver of change. But with technology, go society, the economy, pretty much all affairs of the world. The world is moving at a quicker and quicker pace by the day, and we need to be alert, and adapt.
Some say that the world will need over 1 billion people to be “re-skilled” by the year 2030, moving from traditional to new industries.
But this misses the point. The problem is not one-off, this decade. I’m sure the drivers of horse carriages felt it was a different world when they saw their customers get into motor-cars. That was a huge discrete change, with a flavor of being one-off. But no. Today’s pace of change is more like a new constant challenge. And so it looks to me like doctors and engineers will increasingly find it necessary, some years after leaving university, to renew the stock of knowledge they had initially acquired.
Of course, doctors and engineers already have to learn new techniques asthese arrive. But the way technology is changing, in those and in manyprofessions, is accelerating by the day, and I predict that the day isapproaching when people aged 35 or 40 will not have studied in collegethemain things they need to know.
Now, learning in the workplace is common. Constant learning. But whenthis new learning is no longer the icing on the top of the core structure ofknowledge, but becomes itself the core, this user-led learning becomes ad-hocand very stretched. And so I am sure that professionals in most areas willincreasingly need new and organized forms of constant learning beyond traditional first degrees and postgrads. Perhaps, like our cars, we willneed a full service at school every 10,000 kms, in the shape ofdegree-updating programs.
But above all, to stay abreast this moving world, you students, more than ever before, need to develop a curiosity about the world and a hunger for learning much broader than your majors and minors, and much longer than your years in university.
What you need is to develop three qualities that will help you navigate this faster-changing world: First, open-mindedness: you want to be a sponge for knowledge and experience. Second, tomorrow’s successful professionals will need a global perspective: the world is your village, because the entire world affects you more and more – for good or for bad. And, Third, and perhaps most importantly, for this world of constant change and global challenges, your strongest instrument will always be your curiosity, guiding yourselves forward.
Let me expand. First Open-mindedness. In science and in all fields, one needs to be ready to accept to be wrong; to accept that there may be other explanations to any issue – in nature or in society. But to be able to judge the other explanation you need to understand it, just as well as you understand your own explanation.
To be open minded is not just about tolerance in a passive way, but making a conscious effort to grasp the alternative, to reach out.
This is crucial in today’s world of increased interaction or evenconfrontation between groups and cultures. Whether the interaction is inbusiness, or in government, in the end it is in negotiation. Andthe best way to get to an efficient result in any complexnegotiation – other than a zero sum – is for you to actively seek the bestoutcome for both sides. To ask yourself, how can I get to the bestsolution for my counterpart, in a way that also bringsthe best possible outcome for me? Nothing else is efficient – often not even possible.
This brings me to the second quality that I urge you to nurture. The necessary companion to having an open mind is to develop a global perspective. To be able to see the world, and understand where you … and your company … and your country, fit in this world. Because it is at that global level that the challenges and opportunities are being defined for all of us.
This starts with bringing more universality to your learning. The first thing you need to do right after this lecture today is to go straight to your International Office and make sure you enroll in a Study Abroad program for next year. And not necessarily to go to the highest ranked university you can find, but to the school or country that you feel will help you learn more about the world out there, or learn a new language. Go spend time in India or in Africa, or in Finland, or in a top university in Mexico, and enrich your knowledge, but also your culture and your soul.
China’s business is growing hugely across the Global South, and you will do well equipping yourselves with the training and the experience to go with that huge new universe of opportunities. After the spectacular growth of China in the last three decades, the current and future trend surely is for investment from China flowing in big amounts to other countries – just as firms from Japan or Germany or the U.S. have for decades gone global through investment.
For you to best fit that new world, a global profile and a global vision more and more are of the essence – and the languages to go with it.
Let me finally come to the third quality that I told you is central, for you to successfully sail through these challenging times. This is Curiosity, which is no less than the driving force behind human progress. The greatest inventions, scientific breakthroughs, artistic masterpieces, they all emerged from the insatiable itch to solve mysteries, understand more and push boundaries.
Let me tell you a wonderful story how curiosity led to the birth of sampling theory in statistics. Ronald Fisher was a mathematician working at an agricultural research station in England in the 1920s. He once offered a cup of tea to a colleague, a biologist named Muriel Bristol. But as he was serving the tea she said “stop! you’re making it wrong” and she rejected it. Fischer asked what the problem was, and she replied that he had put the milk in the cup first and then the tea, and she liked it the other way ‘round.
Our hero thought she was being ridiculous and said to her: “it is simple thermodynamics: mixing given amounts of the same two liquids, with given temperatures, will result in exactly the same mix with the same temperature. The order is irrelevant!” But Ms. Bristol insisted: “It is not the same and I can taste the difference”.
“Let’s run a test”, he said, and went on to make eight cups of tea, all with identical ingredients but in four of the cups the milk was added first, while in the other four, it was second. In a controlled blind tasting, Ms. Bristol had no way of knowing which was which, but everyone that had gathered around them, saw how one cup after another she identified correctly which cup was which. All eight cups correctly. Her point was proven.
It turns out that for chemical reasons not understood at that time, the order matters. But Mr. Fisher was perplexed and kept working on the possibility that there had been some mistake, checking the effects of sample size on probabilities and what not.
Well, the beauty of that real story is that Ronald Fisher’s analysis of all aspects of that test led him to isolate the key points of good experimental design and good statistical analysis. Based on this work Fisher published two seminal books: Statistical Methods for Research Workers, and The Design of Experiments, where he introduced several fundamental new ideas, including the null hypothesis and statistical significance, that continue to be central to this day.
Fisher was, just, curious. He kept at it not knowing where this would take him. And yes, we should not expect someone to know how they are going to change the world from day one, because that’s not how it works.
I believe that students are curious by nature. One of your challenges is to keep that curiosity alive. Our role as teachers and professors is to nurture that curiosity and constantly rekindle it.
In law school the students learn that the correct answer often is “it depends”. It depends on how you argue a case, on how you build a legal argument. And basically that is so in science too. We have the correct answer until … it is no longer the right answer.
For centuries, people did not question the model of the earth at the center of the Universe created by Ptolomaeus in ancient Alexandria. Then for many years astronomers thought the universe was just the stars you could see, the Milky way. Now we know that there are up to two trillion galaxies in the observable universe.
And almost every single solid truth in physics in the last 500 years or in the last 100 years has been eventually debunked by the never-ending curiosity of subsequent astrophysicists, and of scientists, economists, engineers and free-thinkers in almost every walk of life.
And now, with science, and knowledge, and computer power moving so fast, the room for such curiosity, the need for such curiosity is ever increasing. Like Mr. Fischer, be curious and seize the moment when it presents itself. Be open-minded and never stop questioning and learning, so you too can have a global perspective.
The young are very good at asking questions and being curious. All I’msaying is, get yourselves trained, go later for jobs, but please, just stay … mentally young.
Thank you very much!
