Zhang Xianyong, from Sun-Yat Sen University, Guangzhou, reports on a recent international conference held last year in Dongguan, Guangdong, on a process facing new challenges: the “Eastward Spread of Western Learning and Cultural Awareness”. The other is published in memoriam of someone who had lived mainly in Hong Kong, but also in Macau, yet not addicted to gambling for easy money. He wanted to better know and understand the silent history of the people whom neither historians nor the media speak about. Tereza Sena, from the Macau Ricci Institute, commemorates the recent demise on April 7th 2008 of the Reverend Carl Thurman Smith (1918-2008), a Christian missionary and researcher on the local history of Christian communities of both cities.
