The first important event of 2012 Nottingham Chinese New Year Celebrations, co-hosted by Nottingham Confucius Institute and Art Centre, was held on Jan.18, 2012. This event features the exhibition of China image photographs taken by documentary photographers Mr Yuan-Hsiung Wang from Taiwan and his wife Miss Xue Qian from mainland. These photos will provide the audience with a unique experience of the magnificent landscape of South West China’s minority regions, and the diverse and rich cultures and traditions in China. The exhibition invites people to look closely to hear the whispers and chants of the minority people, feel their emotions, understand their beliefs, and share their dreams. Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nottingham Professor David Greenaway delivered a speech on the ceremony. He praised the effort of Nottingham Confucius Institute and Art Center and expressed his best wishes to the two-week celebrations to meet the Year of Dragon. Also present at the ceremony are Pro-Vice-Chancellors professor Chris Rudd, Professor Yu Haisui, and Head of School of Contemporary Chinese Studies Professor Shujie Yao, as well as other distinguished guests.
