I am interested particularly in the Ming period, so to talk to scholars of Renaissance Europe, or England under the Tudors, is a very rich experience because it makes you think of what is the same and what is different about China.
比方說我對明代中國特別有興趣，在這裡，我可以隨時與研究同時期歐洲文藝復興，或英國都鐸王朝的同事交換心得、切磋異同，得到比較寬闊的視野。
