讲座开场，教师教学发展中心主任陈惠云博士作为主持人，对程美宝教授的莅临致以热烈欢迎，瞬间点燃现场热情友好的氛围。陈博士简单介绍了程教授的学术背景和卓越成就，为讲座拉开了精彩的序幕。

The lecture opened with a warm welcome from Dr. Vivien Chan, Director of the CTL, who served as the event’s moderator. She briefly introduced Prof. CHING’s academic background and outstanding scholarly achievements, setting the stage for the insightful talk to follow.

程教授回溯《遇见黄东：18 - 19 世纪珠江口的小人物与大世界》创作历程，生动地讲述了她是如何从海内外的大量一手史料中抽丝剥茧，以文字形式还原18世纪广州“事仔”黄东的跨洋人生。期间，珍贵史料图片的展示，让在场师生得以穿越时空，直观触摸历史的温度与质感，切身感受历史学术研究的严谨与鲜活。

In her lecture, Prof. Ching recounted the development of her monograph Encountering Whang Tong: Little People and the Big World in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Pearl River Estuary. She described how she reconstructed Whang Tong’s transoceanic life using an extensive array of first-hand historical documents from both China and abroad. Through archival images, the audience gained insight into the historical context and the meticulous research process..

谈及广州海事博物馆以程教授专著主办的“遇见黄东：一个清代广州事仔的大世界”展览，程教授介绍道，展览突破传统策展框架，创新采用第一人称叙事视角，并结合手稿、绘画与博物馆场景布置，让观众与这位来自清代的小人物产生了跨越时空的联结。通过从文字的“共情”到观展中“共鸣”的转变，展览将严谨学术与大众传播结合的 “知识转移” 模式，为历史研究的成果转化提供了新思路，这为师生们在研究与成果的呈现上提供了全新视角与实践参考。

Prof. Ching then introduced the exhibition Encountering Whang Tong: Canton Trade, Botanical Paintings and Cultural Exchange in the 18th-19th Century, curated by the Guangzhou Maritime Museum and based on her monograph. She explained how the exhibition used an innovative first-person narrative approach, combining manuscripts, artwork, and immersive displays to connect contemporary viewers with this historical figure. This approach shows how academic research can engage the public.

程美宝教授的倾情分享，犹如为师生们打开一扇通往历史研究新境界的大门，提供了全新视角与实践参考。学术的创新与发展，离不开研究者与研究对象的深度对话，也离不开专业领域与公众认知的协同共进。相信此次分享能激发出更多学术探索热情，推动跨学科学术交流与知识传播。期待“纵横立方” 教与学系列讲座未来带来更多精彩的学术盛宴。

Prof. Ching’s lecture provided insights into historical research and sparked enthusiasm for interdisciplinary exchange and knowledge sharing. Future sessions in the “Beyond Boundaries” series are expected to build on this momentum.
