A Conversation with George Gao BY CHRIS MUISE You would never in a million years guess it from listening to his serene composures, but the career of worldclass musician George Gao all began after getting into schoolyard fights as a child. “I was a very naughty boy. I fought with other kids, and a lot of times, I just got all dirty,” says Gao, who spoke with Dakai Maritimes earlier this fall when he was in town to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the first Confucius Institute. “There was one day, I was all bruised, I was hit by some other kids. My mom said, ‘you know what, you should do something to be tamed.’” His mother and father — an elementary school music teacher and an engineer with a love of music, respectively
— convinced Gao to take up a musical instrument, which Gao believes they may have suggested as a way to avoid a future of heavy labour in the days of Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution. “I think my parents had the idea, to teach me a little bit of music, to avoid digging ground,” says Gao. “That’s how I started to play erhu.” For readers who may not be familiar with the instrument, an erhu is a type of traditional Chinese fiddle, that is played while held vertically like a cello. Gao began playing the erhu at the age of six, and went on to study at the Shanghai Conservatory Middle School and join the Ensemble of Traditional Music in Beijing. Today, he is arguably one of the most accomplished contemporary erhuists performing today.

今年秋季正直全球孔子学院建院十周 年之际，高韶青先生被特邀前来哈利 法克斯圣玛丽大学孔子学院参与庆典 活动。在这里，这位世界公认的当今 最优秀、最创新的二胡大师之一、现 代二胡音乐的代表人物与《打开加 东》分享了他的成长故事。 “我小时候太淘气了，老是和别的孩 子打架，还总把自己弄得脏兮兮的。 我记得有一天，我和别的孩子打完 架，把自己弄的全身是伤。于是，我
妈妈决定采取一些措施让我静下心 来。” 高韶青回忆道。 高韶青的母亲是位小学音乐教师，父 亲是工程师，但对音乐极其热爱。于 是，建议儿子学习一样乐器作为爱好 便是理所当然的选择。高韶青后来觉 得，这也可能是父母的良苦用心，让 他在当时的大环境下逃脱靠出卖苦力 吃饭的命运。 “我觉得当年父母有他们的想法，他 们想教我一些音乐，让我不用下地干 活。”高韶青回忆道：“就这样，我 开始拉起了二胡。” 西方的读者可能对二胡不是很熟悉。

EVA and ME: In conversation with father and author John MacIntyre BY CYNDI SWEENEY Poignant imagery and honest observations reveal the story of a young orphan from China, a father from rural Nova Scotia and their journey building a life together in Lunenburg, impacting both their destinies. From the opening quote by Mahatma Gandhi, “Where there is love there is life,” Eva Purcell-MacIntyre and John MacIntyre’s book, EVA and ME weaves a powerful combination of recollections and images to tell the story of Eva Marie. MacIntyre’s prose compliment Eva’s transition from a once stoic and cautious 14-month-old baby, to a vibrant and glowing 12year-old.
George Gao CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Gao moved to Canada in 1991, to perform at the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music, where he would perform and eventually teach. He studied piano and other instruments while at the Toronto Conservatory, but it was the erhu that he would go on to master. “For an instrumentalist, everybody knows that you spend a lot of time practicing. To master an instrument, it takes a long time, and it’s hard to change. So, like it or not, I’m stuck with it.” says Gao with a laugh. “The thing is, I think I’m lucky to be stuck with something I like.” Gao has gone so far as to invent his own version of the erhu, an instrument he calls the Shao Qin, or “beautiful instrument.” He drew the name in part from his own Chinese name, Shaoqing. “After many years, I have upgraded it,” says Gao, who uses synthetic snake skin on his instrument, the sound of which is not affected by weather, unlike real snake skin. “The regular erhu, the sound is wonderful, so that’s why my erhu keeps the original sound. But
专题报道 MacIntyre says the book was inspired by Douglas Coupland’s ability to tell anew a popular story about Terry Fox in his pictorial biography, Terry. “With that book in mind, I wanted to explore a father-daughter relationship in a meaningful way that might be photographically driven and have the text to support,” recalls MacIntyre. When the idea first hatched, his daughter wasn’t so keen. “I kept pestering her and she wasn't having any part of it ... we all have good stories and I think hers is pretty good,” MacIntyre laughs. “Sharing my story with my community, I felt very proud,” says Eva MacIntyre. “We had a launch for the book and a lot of people showed up. They asked me to sign their book, and it felt like, wow, this is cool.” Eva’s journey from a Guangzhoubased orphanage in 2004, to her home in Lunenburg was geographically vast. However the family has woven a cultural link, celebrating both their Chinese heritage alongside their maritime roots. “The most important thing for all of us... is to accept who the original erhu, the range is limited, and the volume is limited.” Gao says one of the reasons he designed the Shao Qin to be more versatile is to dispel the stereotype, especially in China, that the erhu can only create sad sounds. “Even before upgrading my erhu, my music was already totally out of this little stereotype,” says Gao. “I don’t want people to think erhu is only capable of crying, or whining. I want to do something more interesting...the erhu really can sing.” While Gao considers Canada his home, he has been living in China the last three years, helping the Shanghai Visual Arts University develop their music program. Gao is excited to be teaching in China, and is interested to see where the path he’s paved with playing the erhu will take him next. “I think everybody has their own destiny. If you go against the flow, it’s hard, even though you might succeed,” says Gao. “What I’m focusing on is making the best of every day, because I think life is very short. You don’t want to always be hoping to have something tomorrow — you want to do something today.”

二胡大师高韶青 上接第3页 二胡是中国传统弓弦乐器，演奏方式 与大提琴相似。高韶青从六岁开始学 习二胡，之后他就读于上海师院附属 中学，并加入北京民族乐团。如今， 他已发展成为世界公认的当今最优秀 的二胡演奏家之一。 高韶青于1991年移居加拿大，并开始 在多伦多皇家音乐学院演奏及授课。 在学院的这段时间里，他研习了钢琴 等其它乐器，但二胡始终是他最拿 手、最热爱的乐器。 “大家都知道，想要成为一名出色的 演奏家，你必须花费大量的时间练 习。掌握一项乐器，需要时间，这是 改变不了的事实。所以，无论怎样， 我都得坚持下去。”高韶青笑着补充 道：“幸运的是，我坚持做的事情也 是我非常热爱做的事情。” 这位在二胡演奏上造诣甚高的演奏家 还有自己独创的二胡，并加入了自己 名字的元素，将其命名为“韶琴二 胡”。 “多年来，我一直在对韶琴二胡做改 进。”高韶青告诉我们，普通的二胡 是用蛇皮制成，但动物皮的缺点是不

Her nine-year-old sister is excited for snow, Santa and decorating the tree. Their father says both girls love the local Christmas parade every year and look forward to Chinese New Year. “We used to go to the big festivals in Halifax, but there's a group of people who get together in Bridgewater and always have a Chinese New Year festival,” says MacIntyre.

I wish I was a tourist and just visiting Lunenburg and then I could see it all over again in a different way.’,” says MacIntyre. “They love their life and who they are. There are very few unhappy moments.” EVA and ME is available on Amazon.ca and www.macintyrepurcell.com.

Celebrating the Sheep Year
作者：赵梦 中国农历新年即将来临之际，想必加 拿大的朋友们都会学几句贺新年的中 文吧！
BY MENG ZHAO Xin-nian-kuai-le – it might be a good idea to start brush up your Mandarin as the Chinese New Year is soon ringing in. We will be welcoming the year of the sheep on February 19, 2015. People born in the sheep year are believed to be just, kind, sentimental and graceful. Perhaps, these traits have something to do with the sheep being ranked eighth in the series of Chinese zodiac animals, where the number "eight" in China is auspicious. I remember how I celebrated Chinese New Years with my family back in China. It all started with Mom’s mouthwatering homemade pork sausage. Adding a special kind of cooking wine was her secret. Dad spent hours at the market looking to buy the best calligraphy scrolls. I made the paste for gluing the scrolls on doors and walls. Before our New Year’s dinner, we would light a thick roll of firecrackers in front of our house. And, as messy and loud as it was, we believed it would dismiss all the misfortunes. When I was much younger, I would receive a red envelope from my parents with money inside. We called it hong-bao (red envelope). The elderly hand it to the youngsters to recognize and encourage good behaviour. The night was just started after the dinner. We would stay up until midnight watching a New Year’s television special in anticipation of the countdown from the Tiananmen Square in Beijing. That was when mom started to make the delicious pork-stuffed dumplings. As we Chinese say, “a year without dumplings does not count as a real year.” Shaped like ancient Chinese yuan-bao (ingots), and symbolizing fortune and wealth, dumplings are the must-have New Year’s food. Although traditional dumplings are made only with dough and meat or vegetable fillings inside, mom would make a
过羊年 我们将在2015年2月19日迎来羊年。 属羊的人文静高雅，聪明活泼，极富 才华。羊被看作是个极其特别的属 相，也许是因为它在十二生肖中排第 八，而在中国文化中，‘8’又是个极 为吉利的数字。

special one with candies. Whoever got the special dumpling, which works just like a fortune cookie, would have the best luck in the New Year. Guess who got the special one every year? Although I haven’t celebrated the Chinese New Year in these most traditional ways since I moved to Halifax eight years ago, I’ve been very fortunate to celebrate this special festival with a much larger crowd — people from the local Chinese community. Every year, volunteers from various local Chinese associations would organize celebration events such as the annual Chinese New Year Banquet and Chinese New Year’s Party. A relatively small community comparing to other parts of Canada, we’re all very proud of our culture and take pride in celebrating. Celebrations for me sometimes could also be feasting with my friends all night or as simple as treating myself with a fortune cookie. Although it’s hard to live and practice all the traditions I grew up with while living away from home, I believe it’s most important to have the spirit to celebrate despite where you are and who you are with. I wish you the best luck in the year of the sheep. Yang-nian-da-ji.

The Chinese has always been well known for their important perception in cooking. Their pursuit in presentation, flavor and taste of food to the perfection has made Chinese food one of the most popular cuisines in the world. They also emphasize on the aspect of remedy through food with herbs. From the primitive days of roasting food to the comprehensive use of different kinds of cooking device has turned cooking into a great art. Although the existence of high pressure cooker has given cooking much con-
venience, but the traditional earthenware still being used for simmer to maintain the taste. The common ways of cooking Chinese food are: broil, smoke, simmer, marinate, stew, steam, cold mix, deep fry and stir fry. For example “cold mix” is usually the method of preparing cold plates, such as cold cuts and pickled vegetables. The method is simple and it is healthy. It is a great way for serving food as appetizer. “Stew” can be used for cooking poultry or pork by adding with some herbal plants may benefit people’s health, slow down the aging process. It is great for use in autumn and winter. “Stir Fry” is the most common way of cooking, especially in Cantonese cuisine. No matter whether it is for cooking vegetables, meat, noodles or rice, it is simple, tasty and refreshing.

Nocturne brings multicultural art out in the open BY COLIN CHISHOLM Halifax’s Nocturne: Art At Night has quickly become one of the city’s mustattend events. People of all ages, backgrounds come out to take in a night of culture. For artist Jeremy Tsang, his work ‘DOUBLE HAPPINESS DIM SUM’ is a reflection of his experience as Chinese immigrant to Canada. “It kind of stems from my interests and my background as a Chinese Canadian and how when you move away from your homeland it’s sort of a new identity that you create,” he said. “You try to go through all of these different elements of re-associating yourself in a new environment.” As Tsang describes his work, songs like Amy Winehouse’s ‘Rehab’ and Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ can be heard emanating from what appears to be a karaoke joint, flanked by Chinese symbols and barbed wire.
“I was always very intrigued by nooks and crannies as my art practise while I was studying and living here, numerous cities have that characteristic,” he said. “I met this guy who parks his motorcycle here every day and he just told me about how in the 90s this space was more open because people weren’t targeting illegal drinking as much, and punk rock bands would play here.” Nocturne takes place all over Halifax’s downtown, north end, and downtown Dartmouth. Dozens of artists participate and thousands of people come each year to witness the city’s creativity. This is Tsang’s first time participating in the festival, but he hopes to come back. “It’s an opportunity to interact with such a huge audience, that you don’t normally get a chance to in a gallery setting,” he said. “So many people came and said ‘I thought there was dim sum, that’s such a bad trick,’ and
these emotions are important.” “A bunch of kids actually bashed through the door, thinking there actually was a party on the other side,” he said. “There were people trying to get there by exploring all the different parts of the building, which is part of it too.” Tsang’s piece wasn’t the only exhibit on display by a Chinese-Canadian artist, Jack Wong’s ‘Clearing a Full Plate,’ at Gallery Page and Strange required attendees to stay until every seat was full, and promise to stay until midnight, if they wanted food. Lorraine Plourde, chairperson of Nocturne’s board said each of the exhibits for 2014 were part of a unifying theme — peripheral visions. “The theme really lent itself nicely to welcoming projects from various communities,” Plourde said. “When you are in a minority setting, sometimes you feel like you don’t belong to the majority group, and we saw that reflected in the projects.”
The event’s board receives proposals, which are then reviewed, and the applications that best suit the festival’s theme are approved. “We want to highlight the qualities of the artistic community here in the city, and this is made up of a wide range of practises and people,” she said. “We want to have an event that reflects what the community is.” Jeremy Tsang said participating in public art shows like Nocturne is a way for Canadians of diverse backgrounds to get to know each other better. “Every artist is showing their cultural heritage, because your art stems from your own experience,” Tsang said. “No matter what culture you come from, it plays an important role in your upbringing. Art and life are so intertwined that your culture flows through the art subconsciously.” Nocturne takes place each October, a date and theme will be picked for 2015’s festival in the coming months.

曾伟豪接着说：“有群孩子以为我的 展厅隔壁有派对，还试图撞开门进 去。还有人为了去隔壁的‘派对’把 这整栋楼都转了个便。这正符合这个 作品的创作意图。” 除了曾伟豪之外，今年艺术之夜还有 另一位加拿大华人艺术家，他叫Jack Wong。他的作品“吃光盘中餐”创意 是为参与者提供食物，但前提是展厅 内的所有座位要坐满，同时大家要保 证待到午夜12点。
曾伟豪今年第一次加入艺术之夜，他 希望来年能再次参与这个活动。

Jia-na-da, or `Canada’, in Chinese writing. 加拿大的中文写法。
Get a name written in Chinese characters BY QIANYI GAO, CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE AT SAINT MARY’S UNIVERSITY & DONGHUA UNIVERSITY When you learn a foreign language, have you ever thought of your own name in that language? Will your name sound beautiful and mean well in that language? Since Chinese believe the names have their own tradition and characteristics, they carefully choose characters from dictionaries for names. Some of the important characteristics of good names include
being pleasant, beautiful, and auspicious. In this article, let’s talk about Chinese names and how to choose a nice Chinese name for yourself.
only about 3,500 surnames are commonly used in modern days. The top three popular Chinese surnames are Wang, Li and Zhang.
Unlike English names, the family name in China is put first, followed by the given name. The surnames of Chinese people came from several sources in ancient time. They are originated from creatures worshipped, ancient feudal kingdoms, ancient official titles and ancient professions. Most of the surnames are mono character. There is no exact statistics on numbers of Chinese surnames. Some of them have no longer been used and
The given names usually contain one or two characters. They are meant to convey special meaning, with the given names often expressing the best of wishes on the new-born. Some imply the birthplace, birth time or natural phenomenon; some embody the hope of virtue, while others express the wishes of life.
sounds or the meaning? The most wildly used method for westerner to create a Chinese name is to convert the sounds of their English names using characters. For example, jia-nada, or ‘Canada’ in Mandarin, is made of 3 characters. The choice of this name completes with two parts translation of the sounds and choice of characters. The pronunciation is very close to ‘Canada’, and the chosen characters are “jia” which means ‘to add’, “na” as in ‘to handle’ and “da” as in ‘large’.
Which aspect is more important when you choose a Chinese name, the

取个汉字名儿 加拿大圣玛丽大学孔子学院、中国东 华大学高倩艺
当你学一门外语时，有没有想过给自 己取个外语名儿呢？你的外语名是不 是即好听、意思又好呢? 几乎所有的文 化都重视名字，汉字圈也不例外。中 国人对名字的重视表现在对汉字的选 择上。特别是人名儿，用的字一定要 又好听，又漂亮，又吉利。这一回我
们聊一聊中国人的名字，以及如何找 到合适的汉字给自己起个中文大名。 中国人的名字有自己的传统和特色。 不同于西方人，中国人把姓氏放在前 面，其次是给定的名字。中国人的姓 氏有几个来源。它们起源于动物崇 拜，古代封建王国，古代官名和古代 职业。大多数的姓氏是单字的，但也 有复姓。历史上的很多姓已经不用 了，现在最常用的只有3500左右。 王，李，张是人数最多的三个姓。姓 氏后面的汉字就是名字。每个名字都
表达了特殊的意义。有些暗示发源 地，诞生的时间或自然现象，有的表 达美好的愿望;给男孩取的名往往用象 征权力和活力的字眼，而给女孩取名 选用温柔、美丽的词;名字通常包含一 个或两个汉字。 你愿意取个好听的名字，还是更喜欢 意味深长、或者字形好看的名字？由 于每个汉字都具有自己的音、形、 意，因而起名的时候得兼顾。当你考 虑起个中文名时，你将体验多数中国 父母都曾有过的、为新生儿取名而绞
尽脑汁的有趣经历。他们会列出在发 音方面，在字形方面以及在意义方面 的所有的可能性，再选自己认为最好 的那个。 不过对西方人来说，最常用的方法是 选择好看同时意思也好的汉字来表达 原词的声音。例如，Jianada，你猜是 什么？是的，加拿大。这三个字是根 据 ‘Canada’ 的发音来的， 汉字选了 “加” -‘add’ ，“拿”

Chinese characters CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 With many given characters that share the same sound, these three characters appear the best together. Other examples include 凯西, or kai-xi, for Cathy, 乔琪亚, or qiao-qi-ya, for Georgia, and 克里斯, or ke-li-si, for Chris. If you don’t want a Chinese name that’s converted from the sounds of your English name, you can start by looking for a surname. If your surname begins with ‘A’, 安(an) would be a good choice. If it begins with ‘B’, 白(bai) or 薄(bo) could work. For the given name, think about the meaning of the characters. Here are other examples. 雪碧(xue-bi) is ‘Sprite’. 雪 (xue) means snow and 碧(bi) means green. The two characters together seem to people desire the product when the weather is hot, don’t they? Coca-Cola is another good example for how you can be smart with your choice of names. The translation in
Chinese is ke-kou-ke-le. Ke-kou means `taste good’, and ke-le means ‘be happy’. Now who doesn’t want a drink that both tastes good and can make them feel happy? I will wrap this article up with Chinese name suggestions that would be perfect for some English names. 马易安(Ma Yi’an) for Ian Macdonald where ‘Ma’ is the surname. 丁杰 (Ding Jie) for Jack Deans.肖可之(Xiao Kezhi) for Chris Shaw. 江伟(Jiang Wei) for William Johnson. And finally, 费嘉玲(Fei Jialing) for Katherine Fraser. How about yours? Would you like to get a name written in Chinese characters that speaks for your characters?
汉字名儿 上接第13页 -‘handle’ 和“大”-‘big’，意思 很好。另外，这三个汉字写在一起， 形状也很好看。这是翻译西方专有名 词最常用的方法：凯瑟琳(kaiselin)是 Katherine的译名，乔琪亚(qiaoqiya)为 Georgia的译名，克里斯(kelisi)为Chris 的译名。 对于那些想要一个中国式名字的读 者，我们建议这样：1. 从中国姓氏目 录中为自己查找一个姓。如果你姓氏 的第一个字母为A, 你可以选择“安 (an)”为姓；如果你姓氏的第一个字母 为B，你可以选择“白(Bai)”或“薄 (Bo)”为姓;如果第一个字母是D，可 以选“狄(Di)”，“党(Dang)”，“丁 (Ding)”，“董(Dong)”等等，依此类 推。2. 斟酌一下你选的字。这里举两 个值得学习的例子。“雪碧(xuebi)” 译 自 ‘sprite’，“雪”指 “雪花”，“碧”是“绿色”的意思。
当你感到热时，这两个字是不是很吸 引你去喝? “可口可乐”是‘Coke’的中文译 名，“可口”的意思是，“味道不 错”；“可乐”意思是“值得高 兴”。这两个饮料名都具有完美的声 音和意义，字形写下来也很好看，堪 称杰作。 最后，我写几个接近中国人人名的例 子来结束本稿，供读者深入探讨。Ian Macdonald，中文名：马易安。马是 姓，但三个字合起来意思是“你的马 听话”; Jack Dean，中文名：丁杰。 丁是姓，杰意思是优秀; Chris Shaw，中文名：肖可之。肖是姓， 三个字合起来的意思是“看上去像， 很好”。 William Johnston，中文名： 江伟。江是姓，两个字合起来的意思是 “长江是伟大的”。Katherine Fraser，中文名：费嘉玲。费是姓，嘉 玲的意思是 “美玉”。 怎么样？你也来试试取个汉字名？没准 儿那几个汉字能给你加点儿好运气。
