创作心得：
2017年，是我大学毕业的第十一年，比我小十岁的妹妹徐小娴也即将本科毕业。
我大学毕业后就接到了剧本，然后到了电视台做导演，已经很幸运。但是徐小娴比我还要幸运，她被推荐免试攻读研究生，可以留在学校里面跟着行业内顶尖人物继续深造。
妹妹的幸运除了她的高智商之外，有很多原因是能得到名师指路。我们常说读万卷书不如行万里路，行万里路不如名师指路。行走路上，有个过路人给你提醒一下，很多本来可能错过的风景可能就留意到了。
我经常跟我的朋友们提起我妹妹，是我认识的人里面，唯一一个靠读书还能靠奖学金赚钱的人。
我和妹妹一起写了这本书《我喜欢这样独立的自己》，我和她都是17岁离开我们成长的小城市到北京读书，然后认识各种各样的朋友，开始对生活，成长，职业，梦想有自己的发现和观念。
因为独立的思考，我们都没有受限制我们普通的背景，为了打开自己的格局，我们找到了很多方法也遇到很多贵人。我们经常说机遇是给有准备的人的，但是应该怎么样做好准备？
我们做了很多准备也并没有看到暂时有什么用？但是没关系，只要你做好了准备，你走过的路，见过的花，认识的世界都会在最适宜的时机发生擦碰，然后让你变成一个更好的自己。
这两年我在做很多新女性价值观的输出，也看到越来越多独立女性的崛起，我常常认为女性最好的时代要来了，不要辜负自己，也不要辜负时代，才能在你生命的任何一个阶段都不遗憾不后悔也从不放弃自己。

Hacking Immortality: The Science and Science Fiction of Extreme Human Life Extension
Background: After four billion years of existence, our species is on the verge of taking active control of our evolution.

Noted futurist and science fiction author Jamie Metzl will join Bookworm on July 20 to discuss the very real science of extreme human life extension and his new novel, Eternal Sonata. Ray Kurzweil calls the book “a brilliant exploration of the many challenges and opportunities our species will face as the exponential growth of real-world technology moves us toward immortality.”
Bio: Jamie Metzl is a Senior Fellow of the Atlantic Council, novelist, blogger, syndicated columnist, media commentator, and expert in international affairs and biotechnology policy.

创始人简介
单立人喜剧创始人石老板是全国为数不多的职业单口喜剧演员，电气工程专业毕业的工科男，做了多年投融资业务的金融狗，从小喜爱喜剧艺术，说学逗唱是样样精通，旋转跳跃是说来就来，工作中却只能与粪土般的金钱打交道，最后弃暗投明成为了一名职业的喜剧人。获得2016年上海脱口秀喜剧节**，大山、黄西开场嘉宾，曾举办“庸人俗事”个人单口喜剧专场。
什么是“单口喜剧”
单口喜剧，即“stand-up comedy”，发源于英国，发展于美国，是一个演员在台上表演幽默段子的喜剧表演形式。也有人把它叫做脱口秀，这也没什么错，但是脱口秀往往指的是电视访谈节 (talkshow)，而非单口喜剧，所以为了避免混淆，我们还是叫它单口喜剧。

China’s Polar Diplomacy: No Longer On Ice
Although China is a relative newcomer to both the Arctic and Antarctica, the country has begun to make up for lost time by greatly expanding its interests in both Polar Regions over the past few years. Scientific interests, including the role of climate change and how it may be affecting China itself, are still taking the lead in Chinese diplomacy at both poles, yet there is also a growing concern in circumpolar economics and politics, especially as both regions have gained more international attention. In the Arctic, China has expressed greater interest in the region’s development, including potentially making the Arctic Ocean part of the emerging ‘Belt and Road’ networks. In the Antarctic, Beijing recently held a key global meeting on the continent’s future, stressing the need for scientific cooperation but also noting the potential opening up of Antarctica in the coming decades. In short, China is now seeking to be understood internationally as a polar player, and a partner for new initiatives in both regions. Thus, a major question is how the traditional polar powers, including the United States, Europe and Russia, will react to China’s expanded diplomacy in the Far North and Far South.
Marc Lanteigne is a Senior Lecturer in Chinese, East Asian and Polar Affairs at the Centre for Defence and Strategic Studies (CDSS), at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand. Originally from Montréal, he is the author of numerous books and articles on Chinese foreign policy, Asian regional institutions, and non-traditional security issues, including China’s growing interests in the Polar Regions.

改变中国？洋顾问在华工作报告 | 老书虫 X 理想家读书会
1620-1960年，西方人以唯我独尊之姿来到中国。史景迁书中描写的十六位西方顾问，都把一生的精华献给了中国，但他们个性中的负面特质，也惹得中国人在不同阶段抗拒西方人。今天的中国似乎已经足够强大，如果中西双方都对自己有新的了解，至少还有机会不让由来已久的误认再度发生。
——史景迁《改变中国》
《改变中国》从汤若望开始，写了从1620年到1950年三百年中十六位在中国的西方顾问，他们怀抱共同的愿望，想协助中国提振精神或道德的贫困，但这种协助同时也意味着要使中国更像西方国家。
1623年，耶稣会传教士汤若望潜入北京传教，他换上长衫，学习汉语，苦心钻研儒家经典，与朝廷中的达官显贵结交，欲效仿他的前人利玛窦神父，以此打开中国大门，改变一个陌生的文化。
汤若望、南怀仁希望借助历法使中国人皈依天主，美国新教徒伯驾想先借医药和外科启蒙中国，再传基督福音；耶鲁传教团的胡美欲以医疗工作和教育使他的远东同胞亲近上帝；华尔、戈登、史迪威等人给予武力援助，帮助政府和国民早日实现承平岁月的愿望；职业革命家鲍罗廷带着他的世界革命思想，来指导中国革命；丁韪良、傅兰雅则试图改造教育制度，期使年轻一辈更能接纳西方世界。
他们以不同方式进入中国，急欲“开发”被他们视为落后的民族，中国似乎也提供他们发挥的自由，给予他们以一己之力扭转历史的契机，但结局似乎不尽如人意：汤若望等上帝仆人做了天朝工匠，伯驾缠身于治病救人，无暇传教，鲍罗廷在中国革命失败，断送了他革命家的前途，他发现中国人只是高呼着“世界革命万岁”来要枪杆子，魏迈德用西方世界的专业知识解决后勤补给和军事训练的路子行不通，他在这里躲不掉政治，胡美挤在塞满邮袋的火车上离开了长沙，他的传教团同他热爱的东方国家一样没有给他理解和忍耐。
史景迁
这些西方人多半带着些傲慢而来，他们对自己的文明充满信心，并且笃定中国需要。他们在中国受到礼遇，但更多的则是冷落、蒙骗、敌视，他们几欲改变中国，甚至决定中国的命运，但最终发现只不过是自不量力，中国人消化了他们的文明和技术，但拒绝了他们的意识形态，他们真的改变了中国么，读读他们的“工作报告”，或许这些西方顾问的工作境遇可以作为借镜，已昭烔戒。

Artist and Fulbright Scholar Kanta Kochhar Lindgren is facilitating a community storytelling and art project at the Beijing Bookworm. She was an Associate Professor at the University of Washington and served as a US State Department Cultural Envoy to Pakistan. She has directed and choreographed many performances about cultural heritage in Kochi, Karachi, Hong Kong, Minnesota, Seattle, Shenzhen and Beijing.
艺术家和富布赖特学者Kanta Kochhar Lindgren博士正在老书虫进行一个社区故事讲述和艺术项目。她曾是华盛顿大学教授，并担任美国驻巴基斯坦文化交流使。她执导和编舞过多个大型的有关文化遗产的表演项目，作品足迹遍布印度的柯枝、巴基斯坦的卡拉奇、西雅图、明尼苏达州、北京、深圳、香港等地。
Kanta and her students will present a cultural cabaret named Beyond Borders: Linking Our Stories which is a culminating performance of the community storytelling and art project conducted by the students in July 2017. This project aims to establish a dialogue between expat communities in Beijing and (future) Chinese international students and to develop an innovative approach to open up a new trajectory of understanding and learning from each other through field trips, interviews, theater workshops and a cabaret performance. The performance will focus on stories of people from different cultural backgrounds who live in Beijing and feature theater, comedy, dance and song.
Kanta和她的学生将在老书虫呈现一场名为《边界之上：连接我们的故事》的跨文化歌舞表演。这是一个有关北京国际群体社区故事讲述和艺术创作的夏季项目。该项目希望通过跨文化生活的故事采集、演绎与对话帮助不同国家的人增进理解。演出素材来自学生们在老书虫及其他地方采集到的在北京生活的国际群体的故事和他们自己的跨文化经历。歌舞表演融合了短剧、舞蹈和演唱的形式。
The community project is led by Kanta Kochhar Lindgren and Jun Chen who gained her M.A in Cultural Studies and is the program manager of Beijing Cross-cultural Theater Workshops.
该社区项目由Kanta Kochhar Lindgren博士和文化研究专业硕士、北京跨文化戏剧工作坊的组织者陈珺共同完成。
