The Size of Countries in History

On the Thursday J-BJI students received a lecture from Professor. Sun Chuanwei, a professor of economics at National University of Singapore. The topic is the size of countries in history. 

Professor divided the presentation into two parts, Europe and Bean.

In the Europe part, professor firstly showed the countries size in different years, followed by the introduction of Feudalism in time order. He mentioned the rise of Feudalism in the 5th century and the dissolution of Feudalism in the 14th-15th centuries. Furthermore, professor strictly analysed the characteristics of Feudalism with students.

In the Bean part, professor produced a model through movie clips about cavalryman, infantryman and pike-man, aiming at telling students everything can be countered.

J-BJI’s students carefully listened to the lecture and actively discussed with the professor after the presentation. It is good to see that students are enthusiastic about the new professional knowledge.
