CCS is launching the first online event <Moment of the year> with the hope of adding some flavour to our Easter revision xD. We wish to draw every one’s attention to go back through the year and reminisce, find a photo that excites you/ touches you… the most. =). It could be CCS related or it could be simply a snapshot of your Cambridge life. Share the moment with our big family!
To participate, you need:
An original photo taken by you from 01/01/2011 till the date you summited, in JPEG format
Your full name, college, year of study and subject
Technical details e.g. camera model, ISO, shutter speed, etc. (optional)
Please send your works (normally no more than 5) to Yu Hu at yh324@cam.ac.uk.
Deadline of submitting your work:
12:00:00, 12/04/2012
To vote:
We will publish all the works on a rolling basis anonymously and welcome the public to vote and base our judgement on the number of ‘likes’ each photo receives (which means that early birds will have the advantage!!)
Getting really tired with your stressed studying life at Cambridge? Come along to watch the long-expected CCS annual play and support our splendid show.
As a signature event of Chinese Cultural Society, this year’s annual play will be based on Stan Lai’s (赖声川) work: Me & Me VS He & Him – 我和我和他和他

剑桥中国文化促进会，Cambridge University Chinese Culture Society（简称CUCCS）以宣传和弘扬中国文化为宗旨的学生组织。CUCCS始建于1998年，时至今日注册会员已达900余人，2010-2011学年度新招收会员近百余人。成员不仅仅局限于中国在剑桥留学生，也有在剑桥来自世界各地的友人，既有刚刚入学的本科生，也有已经成为本科学生辅导老师的博士生，还有已经参加工作和留校任教毕业生，这些丰富的社会资源给了我们很大的帮助，使得CUCCS成为剑桥学生社团中的一支生力军。为了促进中国文化的传播，充实学生的课余课外生活，CUCCS面向学校或者社会组织了丰富多采的活动。每一年，CUCCS名为“星光闪耀”的歌唱比赛和自编自导的舞台剧不仅仅吸引了当地学生的目光，还有很多来自英国各地的学生专程赶来观看而且倍受好评，为CUCCS在剑桥提供了广泛的知名度和优秀口碑。除此以外，我们积极加强与其他社团及国家的交流与合作，每年定期举办一些联合活动。同时作为一个成熟的组织，我们有专业的网站和杂志等附属系统，也有严格规范的分工与纪律。换届时都有详细的账目及总结，真正做到全透明管理。
After careful consideration and assessment of the candidates list by the current committee, we have decided to extend the DEADLINE of applications to ALL POSITIONS UNTIL next Thursday. This is mainly due to the fact that a lot of positions (including publicity, ents, sports, IT, and sponsorship officers) still remain uncontested. We believe that the level of competition is not quite enough and it is always in the interest of our members to have more options.
Please submit your manifesto to Mengqing Zou at mz294@cam.ac.uk by 24:00 Thursday, 23rd Feb. (no longer than one A4 page).
Any submission beyond that date will be disqualified, even if you have expressed your interest to our committee members in person.
On next Friday we will send another email with all candidates’ manifestos attached as well as the final details about our AGM.
1. This year, we allow the President and Vice-President candidates to have a second choice for other positions. Please do indicate your second choice on your manifesto. The above two positions will be voted first (separated from other positions), and whoever fail can run for a second committee position of their choice in the next round of voting.
2. English speech is required for President, Vice-President and Publicity Officer candidates. For President and Vice-President candidates, the speech is 5 minutes long; for all other positions, each candidate is given 3 minutes for his/her speech.
3. Q&A session will be carried out after speeches for each position.
3)——————————Annual Dinner——————————
Our annual dinner is now fully booked. Thanks to all the people who have shown interests in this event.
Just three important things to note here:
1) This is a black-tie event.
2) Do NOT bring wine yourself, unless you are willing to pay a corkage fee of £13. Additional wine can be purchased at the dinner.
3) Please arrive at King’s College by 7pm and ask for the Beves Room.
We are looking forward to seeing you tonight.

Cambridge University Chinese Cultural Society, usually referred to as CCS, is one of the biggest non-profit organizations run by Chinese students in the University of Cambridge.
Founded in 1998 by a group of enthusiastic Chinese undergraduates, CCS aims to enhance the influence of Chinese culture in Cambridge. Since its founding, CCS has grown tremendously into a society with over 800 members, consisting of students from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and UK. The society regularly organizes a great variety of fun-filled and meaningful events, which not only enriches the university life, but also strengthens the bonds between our members. Furthermore, these activities also unfold the rich and fascinating Chinese culture to other students in Cambridge.
The first annual play <> (<<雷雨>>) struck Cambridge in 2003. The response was overwhelming – Each year, tens of thousands of audiences, including both University students and local residents, are attracted by the annual play. Also in the same year, CCS launched the production of the semester magazine, <> (<<言吾言>>), which is written by talented student writers. The magazine reaches every single member free of charge, and has since become the most influential in the local Chinese community. Apart from these, a range of sports matches against other societies are also organized each year to encourage CCS members to integrate into the University community. CCS also operates Mandarin lessons, and organizes various events such as garden parties, formals and theme park trips etc. to entertain our members.
Today CCS is widely acclaimed by students around Cambridge and it has been continued year after year by the committee members elected in the Annual General Meeting. And it is our members’ support that makes CCS becoming a more integrated, fun, well-organized society. Thank you!
Happy Chinese New Year! This is a reminder that the CCS Annual Dinner and AGM will be held soon in the week after next. Those are going to be the last two major events organized by the current committeee, so please show your enthusiasm and support!
For those of you who are thinking of running for a position in the CCS Committee next year, it is definitely in your interest to come to the annual dinner as it gives you the chance of talking to the current comittee members and showing your commitment to the society. Remember to bring along your best friends to support you!
———–CCS Annual Dinner(Lantern Festival 元宵节 formal)————-
Name: CCS Annual Dinner(Lantern Festival 元宵节 formal)
Date: 17th Feb, 元宵节
Location: Robinson college
Price: 21 for member/24 for non member
Dress Code: Black tie preferably
Wine policy: Negotiating with Robinson college.
Why come? 1 If you think the celebration for Chinese new year is not enough, then please come and celebrate Lantern Festival (元宵节) with us all together! What would be better than many people group together to celebrate the important festival? 2 This is a private dining event which means there will be *ONLY CCS* guests in the hall that day. Imagine a hall full of your friends ONLY and being served. CCS ONLY FORMAL. Hmm, feeling privileged? 3 To those who have not been to Robinson college before, I strongly suggest you to come. Not only because it is a lovely college with their beautiful garden, but they have reputation of HIGH QUALITY FOOD. I guess most people will not come to Robinson often since it is not in city centre. So don’t miss the chance! 4 This would be the last few events organized by this committee and certainly last event organized by me. So I want to see you all there. I bet all the committee would feel the same!! 5 The annual dinner is the official pre-election event for annual general meeting which is when the election happens on 19th Feb. To those who are running for next year committee positions, I can guarantee that you will have disadvantage to those who come if you can’t make it. My advice for them: bring/buy enough wine and be prepared for frequently making drink toss (敬酒). 6 Wine will be included hopefully. Quantities are not yet decided. Possibly 2 glasses each or a shared bottle between several people.
As I listed so many reasons(my fingers hurt now..), join us if you are free that night.
Payment method: Online Transfer: Name: Mr Boruo Xu Sort Code: 77-14-05 Account No: 16014368 As usual, after wiring the money please send me(xb209) an email with your Full NAME, CrsID, Membership status, Number of tickets purchasing and special dietary requirement. I will confirm with you once I receive the money AND the email. For any further enquires, please contact me on email or text(07881902502).
Last Ents love,
