How cool would it be if, as a teenager, you could meet the best in the business every week, and even have in-depth conversations with them for nearly two hours, and have the opportunity to ask questions you really care about? To meet the needs of our members’ combined interests and development, and to provide a broader perspective, “Who’s in Class” was born. As of early 2023, Curionesty College has invited over 100 program instructors and guest speakers, including writers, scholars, researchers, painters, rock musicians, hip-hop musicians, media professionals, stand-up comedians, actors, artists, foodies, translators, restaurateurs, brokers, photographers, film directors, art gallery curators, interior designers, programmers, bookstore owner, podcast owner, game designer, geologist, lawyer, leatherworker, carpenter, electric campaigner, historian, athlete, barber, thangka painter, farmer, composer, sociologist, traveler, current commentator, poet, anthropologist, clothing designer, entrepreneur, architect, thinker, editor, publisher, journalist, police officer, entrepreneur, corporate executive, public servant, University professors, independent teachers, stock traders, freelancers, digital nomads, high school dropouts, college entrance exam winners, Peking University Ph.D.’s, Cambridge Ph.D.’s, Stanford Ph.D.’s, Harvard graduates, Oxford graduates, Juilliard students, Berklee College of Music students ……

“We hope that you can come into a better world.” These were the words of two members of the project team, speaking to the child inside the bottle of their project mentor in their fall/winter final show presentation, “A Letter to the Unborn Child.” In this short-lived elective project, members asked questions about the physical, psychological, and social aspects of their lives that they wanted to explore, interviewed various members of the community about their perspectives on these issues, both large and small, and even went into the Maternity and Children’s Hospital to observe the ecology on the ground and talk to other pregnant women. “Before we started, I didn’t think this program could become so interesting because of us.” More than one member said this.

How can women live? Starting from this question, the members of the elective group used the whole of Chengdu as a field of exploration, visiting five women living here on five afternoons in the spring and summer seasons of 22 years, learning about their work and seeing their lives. Entrepreneurs, writers, editors, managers, lawyers …… women’s lives can be full of possibilities, and such possibilities took root in each member’s mind.

There are a variety of curious clubs, and in the Spring/Summer ’22 season, the “Tentative Club,” founded by community member Ziyou, stood out as the representative club of the season. Even when club hours were over, members were able to run into Ziyou and her team with their cameras in various spaces in the community. Models who don’t usually dress up were “refreshed” by the atmosphere and aesthetics of President ZiYing’s specialties, and experienced the role of “another character” – everyone is a person to be determined. So be brave and realize your fantasies.

Measure Chengdu by riding around the city’s greenway for 110 kilometers. Starting at 8:00 pm and finishing at 8:00 am, with a headlamp to explore the night and wait for the dawn. Overcoming physical pain and practicing “Love and Lovers”.

Both Study Tour Week and coming-of-age ceremony are our traditional programs, and on November 11th of the Fall/Winter ’22 quarter, we linked the two for the first time with a sparkling open-air coming-of-age ceremony on the beach in Xiamen, to sink our teeth into some serious words while others were on a shopping spree. The five protagonists in turn expressed their confusion and thoughts about adulthood, their responsibilities and expectations through their speeches. As the guest of honor, Mr. Tan Pek Niu, a scholar of late Qing history, shared his understanding of the word “adulthood” – commemorating the human being in the midst of time. After the coming-of-age ceremony, we had an unforgettable 24 hours of craziness.
