Chinese culture is arguably the world’s oldest and most diverse. More than 5,000 years old, its comes from a large geographical region with tremendous variety between provinces, cities and villages. However, under the current monolithic Communist government, there is limited freedom of expression. On February 11, Wenyi Wang, a pathologist and political activist born in Changchun, will discuss Chinese culture’s past, present and future at the Central Queens Y in Forest Hills. Wenyi, who also holds a Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Chicago, is an ardent supporter of Chinese arts and a former journalist for The Epoch Times, specializing in medical issues. She has been the center of controversy, accusing the Chinese government of harvesting organs for profit from Falun Gong believers forced into labor camps. Light kosher Chinese refreshments will be served.
