Nowadays, the existence of festivals and continuance among generations have drifted away from its original meaning. However, it doesn’t support that celebrating festival only because today is a festival day is a shameful action. Often, a task that normally costs tons of time to finish can be completed within days before a festival. On this Christmas Day, Qingai called a couple of peers to celebrate together. Peers have to DIY his own bouquet, while when they finish the bouquet, they have to gift it to another complete stranger. A romantic story here begins.
January 27, 2018 10:00~11:30 Come out of the Perfect Closet, Celebrate the Most Real New Year—Virginia Satir Moderm Lecture on Coming Out of Closet
Holding Guest: Mao Ding
Participation: 57 people signed up for the meeting, 38 people actually attended the meeting, with 642 person-time Live Watch.
In less than one month, a special Chinese festival, the Spring Festival is to come. Visiting relatives and friends, we are not only faced with concerns from our parents, but also, we are receiving greetings from your relatives, greetings like, When to get married? Any girlfriend or boyfriend? Do you need a matchmaker to introduce someone to you? At this mean time, the single loudest voice in your heart may be, I’m gay. However, it is far more than just to say I’m gay. Mostly, it is just the beginning to come out of closet, the beginning of chaos. Our parental generation lives in a quite conservative tradition which likes a too tiny pot to embrace our present world. It is in vain to complaint their stubbornness and the unchanged world they are living in. to get ourselves well prepared to come out of closet, which is the only thing we can control, and trust that a well-prepared coming out is better than tons of out-of-point explanations. This time, we are so honored to welcome our psychologist Mao Ding to hint us how to get well prepared ourselves to build up confidence to accept our true self and seek the courage to advance.
