From the editors:

“This book sitting before you tells the story of the second biennial Tang Prize activities, through pictures and text, in a language of feeling and thought.

From the award ceremony and concert to the lecture series and exhibitions, we strove to capture the moments, both grand and quaint, that define Tang Prize Week—it is those moments that share with you here.

We admit, looking back over the records, that there were simply too many great moments to include in their entirety. While we have included as much as was possible, there remain many unforgettable moments, and certainly many irreplaceable colleagues, that do not appear in the present volume. We offer our sincere thanks for everyone whose involvement was essential to the week’s success.”
