People from Eastern countries aspire for uniformity, value justice more than profit, and prefer an indirect and implicit way in their expression of emotions, while those from Western countries put more emphasis on individuality and principles, and would rather express themselves in a direct and straightforward way … Driven by the tremendous tide of globalization, the world as we see is becoming more and more assimilated and united. Yet differences are still evident between the worlds of east and west in cultural traditions and mindset. Therefore, how to seek common points while reserving differences, and how to achieve common development at the same time, emerge as a hot issue which calls for serious attention.
On June 8th, we will invite Mr. Lu Qiutian, a reputed Chinese diplomatist, to CEIBS Executive Forum. With his profound knowledge and more than 40 years of rich experience in working overseas as a diplomat, Mr. Lu is sure to expound his views on differences between Eastern and Western culture as well as thinking based on a series of small cases that yield further thought, and also unveil the intrinsic reasons for such differences.
Mr. Lu Qiutian is Honorary President of Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs, also a part-time consultant to National Society for Party Building Studies. Earlier in his career, he served as Chinese Ambassador to Luxembourg, Romania and Germany successively. A passionate lover of philosophy, history and literature, Lu has published a book entitled “Differences - Eastern and Western Thinking in the Eyes of An Ambassador”.
亲爱的朋友：
东方人讲求整体性，西方人更注重个体性；东方人重义轻利，西方人则更注重原则；东方人的感情表达间接含蓄，西方人的感情表达则直接外露……在全球化浪潮的推动下，我们看到的世界是越来越趋向融合与统一，然而东西方世界在文化传统和思维方式上的差异还是显而易见，如何求同存异，共同发展，成为一个值得关注的热点问题。
