本活動將以英語進行，以下活動資料只提供英文版本。 Online Registration Date: April 28, 2026 Time: 4:15 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Venue: CPD-3.29, 3/F, The Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus, The University of Hong Kong Piercing the “roof of the world”, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is heralded in Chinese narratives as an engineering feat of the People’s Republic. Yet since Maoist China’s march to Lhasa, the plateau’s unforgiving high-altitude environment had stonewalled successive attempts to lay tracks to Tibet and harness its natural resources for socialist industrialization. Drawing on archival sources in the PRC and abroad, oral histories, and internal scientific publications, this talk traces how the railway’s construction from 1956 to 2006 forged a distinctive “mobilizational technocracy” in Maoist and post-Mao China.

本活動將以英語進行，以下活動資料只提供英文版本。 Though he died 35 years ago, the Harvard historian John Fairbank remains alive through the influence of his ideas, students and image as a major figure in US-China relations.

The result has been an increasingly nationalist cultural agenda, celebrating a Chinese identity steeped in the mystique of the Middle Kingdom and nostalgia for heroic twentieth-century resistance.
