Mini Report
22nd Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night "Ming Juan.Cheng Yi" was organized by Sekretariat Pesta Tanglung Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (PTUTM) on 29 and 30 November 2019. The aim of the event is to show our devotion and appreciation of Chinese cultural heritage. Inheritance of culture is the mutual responsibility of all. The essence of Chinese culture should be inherited by younger generations and passed on to future generations.
In this program, I was a member of the Bureau of Cultural Exhibition and Aesthetics which in charge of the cultural exhibitions zone during the event. We prepared a realistic model of the events of 'The Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Our cultural exhibitions zone mainly focused on Four Great Classic Novels, which are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Water Margin, and Dream of the Red Chamber.
The public and UTM's students were invited to join this event. During the event, I was responsible to explain The Romance of the Three Kingdoms using Virtual Reality (VR). The Graduate Attributes that I had learned are Communication Skills, Thinking Skills, Scholarship, and Leadership and Teamworking Skills. Through this event, I had understood my responsibility as a younger generation to inherit the Chinese culture and be thankful for what I have.
Self - Reflection
22nd Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night "Ming Juan.Cheng Yi" is a meaningful event. The reason I joined this event is the aim of events, which is to show our devotion and appreciation of Chinese cultural heritage, attracted me. Younger generations should have an awareness of inheriting our culture.
As I was responsible to explain The Romance of the Three Kingdoms using Virtual Reality (VR), communication skills is very important to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I was able to interact with the public using VR to present my ideas. Thinking skills made me think "outside the box" in order to present The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a more interesting way. Scholarship is also one of the Graduate Attributes I gained. To make me more understand about the Four Great Classic Novels, I spent the time to seek the relevant information from a variety of sources. In order to run the event smoothly, Leadership and Teamworking Skills is an essential part. Every committee member should understand their own responsibility and tasks to run the event smoothly. There were over hundreds of members participated in this event, hence these skills play a significant role to avoid any misunderstanding among this big team.
