Fountainside Dialogue with the Explorer – A Natural Scientist Meets a Social Scientist In The Field (2023 Nov)

What is exploration? What is the difference between exploration and adventure? How do they relate to science and life? 

CERS (China Exploration and Research Society [Hong Kong]) is acclaimed as the “most outstanding exploration team in modern times.” Its founder, Mr. Wong How Man, has been recognized by Time Magazine as an “Asian Hero” and “China’s most accomplished contemporary Explorer,” as well as awarded the title of “Outstanding Chinese in the World.” What are the reasons behind this recognition? What are the inspiring aspects of its exploration, research, and conservation projects? Dr. Bill Bleisch, a biologist who graduated from Harvard University, has dedicated his life to pursuing the “exploration dream” alongside CERS. The University of Hong Kong has recently established the “Wong How Man Exploration Center,” where explorer Wong How Man and scientist Dr. Bill Bleisch will engage in “The Fountainside Dialogue” to help students understand this newly established center and further explore the relationship between exploration, science, and life.
