We believe that our location in Hong Kong provides the ideal environment in which to pursue Chinese scholarship. We hope to see you on campus soon! Prof.

The Centre for China Studies (CCS) is an interdisciplinary department within the CUHK Faculty of Arts, dedicated to promoting research and teaching in modern and contemporary China in a global context. Message from the Director:

The Centre for China Studies – formerly the Centre for East Asian Studies – is committed to teaching and research in Chinese Studies. Our degree programmes – all conducted in English – aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills to pursue successful international careers involving China. From our undergraduate BA/BSSc in Contemporary China Studies programme to our graduate MA, MPhil, and PhD programmes in Chinese Studies, we are committed to hands-on teaching and learning about China. The Chinese University Library and the University Services Centre hold an extensive collection of ancient and modern Chinese scholarship, and count among the best libraries in the world for China Studies. In addition, the Chinese art collection maintained by the Institute of Chinese Studies provides students with up-close contact with historical artifacts and artwork, using the China of yesterday to illuminate the China of today. Hong Kong is a vibrant world city where global cultures meet, mix, and mesh. In Hong Kong, traditional Chinese culture comes alive in a contemporary Chinese metropolis. In addition, Hong Kong is the gateway to greater China: Shenzhen – one of the Chinese Mainland’s first cities to welcome world investment – is a short 20-minute train ride from our campus. You will discover many exciting opportunities to learn about China with us at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. HOYAN Hang Fung Carole

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭:
How might Chinese martial arts cinema be understood not simply as a film genre, but as a distinctive aesthetic, philosophical, and cultural practice? Drawing on his recent book, Martial Arts Ecology: Aesthetics, Philosophy, and Cinematic Mediation (Edinburgh University Press, 2026), Dr Wayne Wong proposes a new approach to martial arts cinema through the concept of ‘martial ideation’. Shifting attention from familiar frameworks such as authenticity and expressivity to the quieter yet crucial motif of tranquillity in action, the talk explores how martial arts movements can function as embodied knowledge, connecting technique to aesthetics, philosophy, and ways of engaging with the world.

The event will also introduce Project Sifu (Wayne Wong, 2025) and Project Sifu 2 (Wayne Wong, 2026), two research-led filmmaking and public engagement initiatives that translate these ideas into collaborative practice through martial arts training, filmmaking, and community participation. Developed through workshops with students and young migrants in the UK, the project explores questions of identity, belonging, cultural memory, and intergenerational transmission. It has been presented internationally, including at UNESCO-ICM in South Korea, the 64th Session of the United Nations Commission for Social Development in New York, and events in Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, Sydney, and London. It has also been incorporated into part of the Shaolin Temple UK curriculum.

The event includes a screening of Project Sifu 2, followed by a discussion on how Chinese martial arts cinema can serve not only as an object of study, but also as a method for research, pedagogy, and public engagement.

𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲:
Dr Wayne Wong is a Lecturer in East Asian Studies at the University of Sheffield, where he is also Student Experience Lead in the School of Languages, Arts and Societies and Lead of Project Sifu. He received his PhD in Film Studies and Comparative Literature from King’s College London and the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on martial arts cinema, screen aesthetics, embodiment, digital media, and Hong Kong cultural production. He is the author of Martial Arts Ecology: Aesthetics, Philosophy, and Cinematic Mediation (Edinburgh University Press, 2026) and has published widely in journals including Asian Cinema, Global Media and China, Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art, Asian Ethnicity, and Martial Arts Studies. His current research and public engagement work explore Hong Kong diasporic identity through film, exhibition, performance, and community collaboration.
