Icelandic scholar Ragnar Baldursson explains that sinology is much more than a field of study or simple translation—it’s about accurately interpreting Chinese culture and civilization to build meaningful bridges between diverse cultures. His unique journey as a sinologist has led him to see this role as one of breaking down barriers and fostering mutual understanding between nations.
Known as an extreme pacifist, Ragnar believes that cooperation and peaceful dialogue are essential for lasting harmony. By using sinology as a tool to promote these values, he hopes to inspire a future where shared insights pave the way for global unity. 🤝🌏
