Rest in Peace Prof. Ezra Vogel
I just read the latest two books by Dr Wang. I am more appreciative of him now. I hope he can live a long life. It will be a big loss to the sinology without Dr Wang.
thank you to the speaker, and interlocutors for the questions. wish the professor the very best of physical health, vigour, strength and intellect. at 90 his mind, and memory of his 20th century is so sharp and precise. an exemplary scholar junzi with humbleness.
Great minds.
I think I may have caught a glimpse of a former Asia CEO of Bankers Trust among the zoom audience towards the end of this video. I’ve forgotten his name but I do remember him having written a book or two about China back then when he was based on Hong Kong.
