The visit was sponsored by the Canadian Embassy and the Liaoning Normal University. They delivered talks for over 100 graduate and undergraduate students as well as teachers from several faculties. Prof. Li talked on the topic of “The Making of Chinese in Canada,” in which he clarified from the sociological perspective several concepts about Chinese in diaspora, such as overseas Chinese, Chinese-Canadians, Chinese diaspora, etc. His interpretation of the causes for the rise and fall of Chinese immigrants in Canada was quite unique. Prof. Li Zong talked on the topic of “Grain Drain and Brian Gain: Brain Circulation in the World,” in which he broke through the traditional understanding of “brain” or “talents,” by adjusting the concept to globalization. He believed that talented people could make contribution to their own country while working overseas. Their new perspectives and ideas won warm applause from the audience. At end of the talks, the two professors interacted with the audience and answered many questions. Prof. Wang Bing, the Director of LNU Center presided over the talks. University and faculty leaders welcomed the two professors at the beginning and after the talks invited them to dinner. The two professors visited Dalian Development Zone and the seaside road the following day. On June 21, Prof. Li and Prof. Zong left Dalian for Harbin (Harbin Univ. of Technology, invited by Prof. Fu Li) and Beijing (CASS CS Center invited by Prof. Jiang Peng) to continue their visit. Their visit has greatly increased mutual understanding between the two countries.                         　=>3.  南京财经大学图书馆为该校加拿大研究中心提供办公室并开辟加拿大研究阅览专区(The Library of Nanjing University of Finance and EconomicsProvides the Canadian Studies Centre with an Office and a Reading Area in Its Magnificent Building)         南京财经大学图书馆近日按照学校的部署在图书馆二楼黄金地段为南京财经大学加拿大研究中心提供一间办公室并开辟加拿大研究阅览专区。南京财经大学图书馆坐落在仙林大学城该校美丽的现代化新校区内，独创的外观设计和国际化的设施与服务使它闻名中外，受到来访的中外学者一致的称赞与好评。考虑到华东地区乃至全国目前尚没有一个建在图书馆的加拿大图书资料中心，南京财经大学特做出这一决定，意在利用该校图书馆的丰富资源与先进设施，通过该校加拿大研究中心的工作及其与国内外的学术联系，逐步建设一个在华东地区乃至在全国有一定影响力的加拿大研究资料与学术交流中心。该阅览专区及资料中心受到国内外有关机构的极大关注，加拿大驻华大使馆文化处表示要大力支持这个资料中心，加拿大驻上海领事馆派员参观并考察了该中心，中国加拿大研究会表示要通知全国各个加拿大研究中心共同支持办好这个中心。目前图书馆已在加拿大研究专区集中了一些加拿大主题的现有馆藏，购置了一些新的加拿大研究图书，接受了一些国内加拿大研究学者的成果捐赠及加拿大友人捐赠的图书及其他资料。该资料中心和阅览专区最大的有点就是其开放性。加拿大研究的图书与资料由图书馆统一编目管理，并纳入网络查阅系统。学者和研究生、本科生，甚至普通读者，都可以在这里自由而舒适地阅览、使用这些开放而丰富的资源。 The Library of Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, in accordance with the planning of the University’s authorities, has recently offered an office on the second floor, for the Canadian Studies Centre at NUFE and, on the same floor, a reading area for Canadian Studies has also been established in the best section of the Library, near the office of the Centre. The Library of NUFE is located on the University’s new campus in Nanjing Universities City----one of the prosperous satellite towns of Nanjing. It has been enjoying a high reputation for its magnificent outward appearance as well as its advanced facilities and good services, with its all possible conveniences and comforts, deserving the praises it has ever received from so many scholars visiting the University from other cities and other universities, both at home and abroad.Considering that there has yet been no such a Canadian Studies resources centre in the Eastern part of China, even in the whole country, as to be closely related to a university library, the authorities of NUEF have decided to make this pioneering step, aiming at establishing an influential resources and researches centre, in the Eastern part of China and even in the whole country, where Canadianists, both in the Canadian Studies centre at NUFE and from other universities and institutes, may concentrate themselves upon abundant books and other materials on Canadian Studies in this bright and comfortable reading area, and develop academic exchanges and cooperation in Canadian Studies. This resources centre and the reading area for Canadian Studies, the first one to be a part of a university library among the Canadian Studies Centres in China, have attracted much attention from relative organizations and institutions. The Canadian Embassy in Beijing and its Cultural Affairs Office, who have been constantly supporting Canadian Studies in China, have greatly appreciated and supported its establishment and expected it to be a most successful studying area, open, free, efficient, and full of academic atmosphere. The representatives of the Canadian Consulate in Shanghai have visited the centre and praised the Canadian Studies Centre at NUEF and the efforts it has made for promoting Canadian Studies in the Eastern part of China. The National Association for Canadian Studies in China(ACSC) has informed all the Canadian Studies Centres across the country of this new resources centre and called for all their support to be granted to it. A considerable collection of Canadian subjects has been set up in this area, including some books on Canada written and donated by the Canadianists on campus, some books on Canada published in China and newly purchased by the Library, and some Canadian books donated by Canadian friends. Openness is the most outstanding advantage of this resources centre and the reading area.  All the books and materials on Canadian Studies are arranged and managed by the librarians according to a standard system, and they are also located on the internet. Scholars and students, whenever entering this area and sitting among books, may enjoy an open, free, very easy access to whatever they need in their researches and studies. The Canadian Studies collection adjoins a larger one of English materials, so that comparative studies between Britain, the USA and Canada could be conveniently undertaken, if scholars like to. The office for the Canadian Studies Centre is a smart place for scholars to have meetings and discussions. What is more significant is its attraction of the graduates and undergraduates, who often remark the Library as their academic Eden. When they have more and more Canadian books to read, who knows what a younger generation of Canadianists might be fostered among them?All the members of the Canadian Studies Centre at NUEF get excited with this resources centre and the reading area. They will use it as their research base and make still more achievements in Canadian Studies. The Foreign Languages Department is very interested and active in Canadian Studies, and we owe it a lot for its encouragement and help in all our Canadian Studies programs, projects, activities, as well as for its assistance in the establishment of this resources centre and the reading area in the University Library.   =>4. 复旦大学林容日教授翻译出版加拿大多伦多大学格兰教授主编的《加拿大高等教育——不同体系与不同视角》（Higher Education in Canada :Different Systems and Different Perspectives edited by Canadian Professor Glen A.

Jones  has been published by FUjian Publishing House. The Translator is Prof. Li Rongri, Fudan University. This book begins with an introductory chapter designed to acquaint the reader with a number of basic historical and structural features of Canadian higher education. This is followed by David Cameron’s essay on the evolving role of the federal government. The next ten essays focus on provincial systems and are organized geographically, moving from west to east. The last two jurisdictional essays focus on Canada’s territories, jurisdictions which tend to be ignored in the Canadian literature on higher education. In the penultimate essay, Michael Skolnik attempts to pull the various pieces together in order to illuminate common themes and clarify important differences between jurisdictions. The final essay provides an updated, critical overview of Canadian higher education from a national perspective. Written in 2005, this concluding essay represents a recent attempt to tell the story of Canadian higher education as a national narrative while recognizing the differences between systems that are discussed in detail within the core essays of the original book.
