On January 17, 2012 7Pm, German writer Stefan Schomann will give a lecture from his book „Letzte Zuflucht Schanghai“ (Last Refuge in Shanghai). It tells the true and highly unusual love story between Robert Sokal, a poor refugee from Vienna, and Chenchu Yang, a young lady from a well-to-do family from Ningbo. They met during World War II in Shanghai and, despite of all opposition and the dramatic circumstances in this “age of extremes”, they became a couple.
The lecture will be in English, with some samples in German and Chinese. It will start at 7 p.m.
On this occasion, Mr. Schomann will also give an introduction to his exhibition “Lost China”, which features historic photographs taken by Eugen Flegler, a German professor at Tongji University in the 1930s. The exhibition will be shown at the Ningbo Museum, opening on January 18 at 4 p.m.
