Lu Xun's English Corner!  It is ironic that for many years, Lu Xun, the “Father of Modern Chinese Literature” and former XMU teacher, has been forced to endure throngs of people surrounding him at night practicing English!

The Tuesday and Friday night English Corners, held from about 9 PM until whenever the last few straggle off into the night, are the best place for Chinese and foreigners to meet because they are attended regularly by both Overseas Education College foreigners and XMU foreign teachers. Some diehard foreign teachers even manage two English Corners on Friday nights. They hit the Zhangzhou campus across the bay at 7 PM, and then take the ferry back to catch another batch of English learners besieging the statue of Lu Xun.

No one knows anymore who started this English Corner because it has become a self-organized activity, taking on a life of its own. You can expect to meet all kinds of people there, from students and teachers to busi-ness people, doctors, lawyers—virtually anyone wanting to improve their English. But as of November 27th, 2004, our illustrious Lu Xun is finally able to see and hear the language he loved being used by Chinese and for-eigners alike because Robin and friends organized as one of the Putonghua (“Standard Chinese,” or Mandarin) Art Association activities a Chinese Corner for foreigners. The Chinese Corner is every Sunday evening from 7 PM until as late as you want to stay.

I think Mr. Lu Xun, who once taught at XMU, must be happy to see this marriage of Chinese and Western languages taking place right around him.

英语角和中文角

要“中国现代文学之父”、厦门大学曾经的中文系教授鲁迅先生长年累月地忍受着围在自己的周围的人群不住地讲英语到深夜，真的挺有意思！
于每周周二和周五晚上进行的英语角，从晚上9点开始，直至深夜最后一些人纷纷散去。这是中国人和外国人相识的好时机，因为很多海外教育学院的学生和厦大的外教都会来参加。一些“顽固”的老外还在周五晚上参加来得及参加两个地方的英语角：他们飘洋过海地去参加在漳州校区7点开始的英语角，然后乘船回来，匆匆忙忙地奔向包围在鲁迅像身边的另一群英语爱好者们。

已经没有人知道英语角的来历了，它早已称为一个自发的活动，独立的生存了。这里你能见到各种各样的人，有学生、教师、商人、医生、律师……差不多所有想提高英语口语者都会聚在这里！而在2004年11月27日，我们伟大的鲁迅先生终于见到并听到外国人和中国人一样开口讲他最爱的语言——汉语了，因为我和我的朋友们为老外们搞了个“中文角”，作为我们的“普通话艺术协会”活动之一。中文角于每周日晚上7点开始，至于结束嘛，想呆多久都没问题！

我想，曾在厦大教书的鲁迅先生看到我们的汉语和西方的语言就这样在自己身边“联姻”了，一定挺高兴的吧。

德语角？ 有人要参加吗？于每周四晚7：30——9：00在南光区的联兴楼举行。联系方式为：german_corner@yahoo.com
