Jack Chan

Jack's interest in cultural interactions between different civilisation’s systems began during his university years. He is particularly interested in Sino-Japanese relations, Sino-Korean relations, Sino-British relations during the Qing dynasty, and Qing China’s history itself. He has presented one paper each at academic conferences in Hong Kong and internationally and has published a total of two papers in History Society Journal of the University of Hong Kong. He firmly believes that through the study of cultural interactions in history, experience and wisdom can be gained from the development of human history.

Jack hopes to develop his career in both academic and educational pursuits. He believes that through continuous self-philosophical reflections he can enrich the meaning of life so as not to fall into the myth of Camus' suicide ideology. He is a past recipient of the Sir Edward Youde Scholarship and the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Chinese History Scholarship and is, therefore, an associate member of Sir Edward Youde Scholars Association. He will use his limited abilities and make his endeavour to contribute to the study and the popularisation of history.
