A Critique of the Premises of Reification: Hiromatsu Wataru's De-Reification Strategy in the Horizon of Kant
This paper argues that while Kant's Transcendental Deduction establishes the objective validity of the categories by linking givenness to the unity of apperception and to schematized synthesis, it inadvertently leaves a premise-level opening for reification: relations and rule-effects can be misinterpreted as properties of self-subsisting entities. Drawing on Hiromatsu Wataru's concepts of intersubjectivity and the "fourfold structure," a de-reifying account of objecthood is reconstructed that emphasizes the primacy of relations by locating objectivity in appearing mechanisms that are operational, testable, and re-identifiable. The paper first diagnoses the pressure exerted by givenness, unity, and objectivity in Kant's A/B-Deduction and examines the "colored glasses" motif. It then develops a formal grammar (p as [p] for P as [P]) to demonstrate how koto replaces mono as the unit of analysis. Finally, it provides a critical assessment of the risks of idealism and circularity, addresses the question of "hardness" without underlying substrates, and considers unity without transcendental apperception, advocating methodological reinforcements through standards, calibration, and interoperation.

Exploring Localization Pathways for Cultural Dissemination by International Chinese Teachers from the Perspective of Regional and National Studies
Amid globalization, international Chinese education has experienced remarkable expansion, with cultural dissemination serving as a vital foundation. For international Chinese language teachers, developing localized strategies for effective cultural communication has become increasingly essential. Grounded in the theoretical framework of area studies, this paper traces the evolution of research on overseas cultural dissemination by international Chinese teachers-from an initial focus on standardized promotion to a growing emphasis on localized adaptation. At the practical level, it identifies four key challenges: superficial cultural interpretation, uneven teacher competence, an unfavorable international environment for cultural outreach, and fragmented use of digital technologies. In response, this study proposes an innovative five-dimensional localization framework, which includes: (1) enhancing teachers' intercultural communication competence, (2) constructing a localized "ecological pathway," (3) improving region- and nation-specific dissemination systems, (4) drawing on best practices from foreign language promotion, and (5) building a new digital ecosystem for cultural dissemination. This framework aims to systematically address the "incompatibility" issues that hinder localized dissemination and to promote the high-quality, sustainable global communication of Chinese culture.

The Paradox of Speaking for Narrative Authority, Hierarchical Representation, and Self-Reflexivity in Arundhati Roy's Walking with the Comrades
Arundhati Roy's Walking with the Comrades (2010) constitutes a pivotal intervention in postcolonial literary journalism, seeking to amplify the voices of India's marginalized Maoist insurgents. By innovatively blending journalism, political commentary, and travel writing, Roy challenges dominant state and media narratives. Yet, this study argues that the very hybridity of her form produces representational paradoxes that inadvertently reproduce the hierarchical structures of colonial discourse she aims to subvert. Drawing on postcolonial theory and critical discourse analysis, with reference to Spivak, Huggan, and Rancière, this research identifies three interrelated dilemmas in Roy's text: first, the construction of a privileged journalistic gaze that positions the author as an authoritative mediator of truth; second, the hierarchical selection of voices within the Maoist movement, which foregrounds educated leaders while marginalizing the agency of ordinary, often female, cadres; and third, the aestheticization of revolutionary struggle through literary travel writing, which risks commodifying resistance for a cosmopolitan readership. While Roy's self-reflexive moments acknowledge the ethical challenges of representing the subaltern, this metacommentary paradoxically reinforces her narrative authority. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that Walking with the Comrades exemplifies the enduring ethical bind of postcolonial representation: the political imperative to speak for the marginalized is continually undercut by the epistemological impossibility of doing so without appropriation. The text thus provides a rich site for theorizing both the limits and possibilities of solidarity literature in a postcolonial context.

Beyond the Buzzword: Interdisciplinary Education in Cultural Heritage Needs a Purpose
As the field of cultural heritage expands beyond traditional conservation to encompass legal, digital, environmental, and sociocultural dimensions, the education of future heritage professionals must evolve accordingly. While global universities increasingly adopt interdisciplinary approaches, many cultural heritage programs remain rooted in narrow disciplinary frameworks, limiting students' readiness for contemporary challenges. This paper reviews international models—such as those of University College London, Leiden University, and the University of Bologna—and identifies key trends including the integration of digital humanities, legal studies, and community-based practices. Drawing from these cases, it proposes a flexible and interdisciplinary curriculum framework tailored to China's educational landscape. Policy recommendations and implementation strategies are outlined to support institutional reform, cross-departmental collaboration, and global engagement. Ultimately, the paper argues that transforming cultural heritage education is not merely an academic goal but a cultural imperative for China in a globalized era.

Mentorship-Oriented Leadership on the Learning Satisfaction of Higher Vocational Students
This study investigated the influence of mentorship-oriented leadership on the learning satisfaction of higher vocational students in a selected institution in Shandong Province, China. Grounded in Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, the research examined how four mentorship leadership dimensions — empowerment, cultural responsiveness, emotional support, and goal alignment — correlated with four dimensions of learning satisfaction: cognitive engagement, emotional satisfaction, instructional interaction, and facilitation. A quantitative research design was employed, involving a total of 513 students through census sampling. A structured, researcher-developed questionnaire was used to collect data. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results indicated that both mentorship-oriented leadership and learning satisfaction were perceived as "manifested" by students. Emotional support was rated as the most prominent leadership behavior, while cultural responsiveness received the lowest rating. In terms of satisfaction, facilitation and emotional satisfaction scored highest. No significant differences were found across sex, age, or year level, suggesting consistent perceptions across demographic groups. Crucially, all four mentorship leadership dimensions showed significant positive correlations with learning satisfaction dimensions, with the strongest relationship between emotional support and emotional satisfaction (r = 0.54, p < 0.01). The study concludes that mentorship-oriented leadership positively influences student satisfaction and recommends the institutionalization of structured mentorship programs, enhanced faculty training, and increased emphasis on cultural inclusivity to promote holistic student development in vocational education.

Bilingual Guided Tour and Research of Zhou-Deng Memorial Hall
In the era of globalization and China's "Culture Going Global" strategy, promoting red culture on the international stage has become a crucial means for us college students to enhance national cultural confidence and tell Chinese stories well. As a red landmark commemorating the deeds and spirits of predecessors, the Zhou-Deng Memorial Hall shoulders the mission of spreading China's revolutionary spirit. However, when carrying out international communication, the memorial hall faces practical challenges: incomplete bilingual materials and biased cross-cultural interpretation, which seriously affect the communication effect of red culture. Therefore, optimizing bilingual guided tour services is an urgent task we students hope to address. In this study, combining the current situation of the memorial hall, we propose three-dimensional solutions: At the content level, construct a standardized bilingual lexicon. In service models, create an "online + offline" integrated system. At the resource integration level, expand international cooperation actively, use overseas social media to broaden communication, seek support from cultural and tourism projects, and introduce cutting-edge digital technologies. This study provides practical ideas for the memorial hall and other domestic red venues to improve bilingual tour services. As college students, we hope our research not only enhances the international communication effectiveness of red culture but also contributes to constructing the international discourse system of Chinese red culture. During the research, we deeply felt the significance of red culture communication and expect these suggestions to inspire the international development of red culture venues.

Dialogues Between the Self and the World: The Philosophy of the Realistic Person and the Pursuit of High-Quality Longevity in Chinese Thought
This paper critically examines the classical Chinese philosophical notion of the "realistic person" and its relevance in the context of modern societal development, particularly as it pertains to the pursuit of high-quality longevity. Grounded in the rich traditions of Confucianism and Daoism, the concept of the realistic person is not merely an ethical archetype but rather a dynamic embodiment of self-cultivation, moral integrity, and harmonious living. By analyzing key philosophical doctrines—such as Ren, Li, and Wu Wei—this study reveals how ancient principles of personal and interpersonal cultivation remain profoundly relevant to contemporary discourses on health, aging, and psychological resilience. Furthermore, by incorporating insights from modern positive psychology and dialogical self-theory, the paper argues that the process of engaging in reflective self-dialogue is essential for achieving an integrated, meaningful life in an era increasingly defined by technological acceleration and existential uncertainty. The proposed dialogical model synthesizes internal moral inquiry with external social responsibility, offering a holistic approach to personal development that transcends a purely biomedical interpretation of longevity. Ultimately, this paper suggests that the reintegration of classical Chinese philosophical thought into contemporary frameworks of wellness and aging could provide both theoretical depth and practical tools for addressing the multifaceted challenges of individual flourishing and collective well-being in the 21st century.

The Evolution of the European Union's Securitization of Climate Change and the Effectiveness of Its Policies
As climate change intensifies as a pressing global concern, its securitization has become a pivotal issue in international governance. The European Union (EU), recognizing the escalating risks, has increasingly incorporated climate change into its security agenda, framing it as a non-traditional security threat. This paper explores the EU's securitization process through the framework of the Copenhagen School's Securitization Theory, examining its internal and external climate policies across discursive, institutional, and practical dimensions. Initially adopting a "rhetorical leadership" approach, the EU evolved towards "leadership-by-example" and, more recently, has assumed the role of a "leadiator", promoting global cooperation on climate initiatives. The paper evaluates the effectiveness of major EU policies, including emissions reduction commitments and the advancement of renewable energy, while also addressing persistent challenges such as internal policy fragmentation and external geopolitical pressures. The study concludes that although the EU's securitization of climate change has notably shaped global climate governance, significant obstacles remain in fostering deeper international collaboration and resolving internal inconsistencies.

Policies and Practices of Teachers' Professional Development from a Lifelong Learning Perspective
Teachers are key practitioners in unlocking the potential of each learner and achieving inclusive and equitable quality education. According to the 2023 Global Teacher Report, there remains a global shortage of teachers, which threatens the future of education. In order to ensure both the quantity and quality of the teaching workforce, it is necessary to reexamine teachers' professional development from the perspective of lifelong learning, strengthening their dual role as lifelong learners and leaders of lifelong learning. This will help establish a new social contract for the teaching profession. Based on the dual evolution of global development trends and historical policy work, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and Shanghai Normal University jointly organized the "Teachers as Lifelong Learners: Policy and Practice International Research Seminar". The seminar aimed to explain the rich connotations and key features of lifelong learning, share policies and practices on continuous professional development for teachers in various countries, and provide theoretical guidance and practical experience for teachers' professional development. Although approaches such as policy support, institutional backing, technological empowerment, and research-led initiatives have become international consensus and action for supporting teachers' professional development, facing both macro-level societal challenges and micro-level educational field challenges, continuous deepening of international exchange and cooperation is still needed to promote teachers' lifelong learning and continuous professional development.

Research on the Scope of Administrative Public Interest Litigation in China
With the deepening development of national governance modernization, a structural leap has emerged in the public consciousness of the rule of law. This awakening manifests not only in the strengthening of demands for private rights protection but also in institutional expectations for judicial mechanisms to safeguard public interests. As an institutional innovation transcending the traditional framework of administrative litigation, administrative public interest litigation has achieved preliminary normative construction. However, the scientific delineation of its jurisdictional scope still faces practical dilemmas at the level of legal hermeneutics. Serving as the core category of this system, the jurisdictional scope directly determines the boundary of judicial review over administrative power, thereby influencing the efficacy of judicial remedies for public interests and the institutional tension of administrative regulation. Through typological analysis, this study proposes that the rational construction of the jurisdictional scope should follow a trinity regulatory path encompassing "legal interpretation, categorical enumeration, and procedural safeguards": first, establishing statutory interpretive criteria for public interests; second, constructing a composite legislative paradigm of "abstract norms + concrete enumeration"; third, incorporating procedural mechanisms for public participation; ultimately achieving dynamic equilibrium between public interest remediation and administrative efficiency through professional adjudication by litigants.

A Systematic Review on the Relationship Between Language Aptitude and Second Language Grammar Acquisition: Do Different Instructional Approaches Play a Role?
Although substantial research supports language aptitude's critical role in second language acquisition (SLA), how individual differences in aptitude interact with instructional approaches to influence grammar learning outcomes remains underexplored. Most prior studies examined aptitude effects in isolated instructional contexts, leaving the potential causal mechanisms of aptitude across instructional treatments largely uninvestigated. This systematic review analyzed nine empirical studies to characterize the relationship between language aptitude and L2 grammar acquisition, and determine whether instructional variations moderate this association. Findings demonstrated a robust correlation between aptitude and grammar learning success, but revealed differential outcomes depending on instructional design. Methodological inconsistencies in measuring aptitude and grammar proficiency, alongside mediating contextual factors, were identified as potential confounders. The review emphasizes integrating aptitude assessments into instructional design for grammar pedagogy and advocates for standardized measurement tools to advance SLA research. Directions for future inquiry include longitudinal investigations of aptitude-instruction interactions and expanded theoretical frameworks.

The Impact Mechanism of Street Space on People's Mental Health in Urban China: A Survey-Based Study
With the ongoing urbanization process in China, the impact of urban environments on residents' mental health has drawn increasing attention. This study selects Beijing (large city), Zhengzhou (medium-sized city), and Luoyang (small city) as examples to compare the effects of commercial streets, residential streets, and waterfront spaces on residents' mental health through questionnaire surveys and environmental measurements. The research indicates that the high density and noise levels of street spaces in large cities may contribute to increased stress levels among residents, while the lower density and presence of natural landscapes in small cities tend to enhance residents' sense of happiness and relaxation. The street spaces in medium-sized cities demonstrate distinct mental health effects, balancing transportation accessibility with cultural characteristics. For instance, the multifunctionality of commercial streets in Zhengzhou has a positive impact on mental well-being, whereas the condition of residential streets varies based on different maintenance and planning approaches. Additionally, the study finds that cultural elements (such as historical architecture and traditional features) in street spaces influence mental health differently across cities of various scales, with their positive effects being more pronounced in small cities. Based on these findings, this paper proposes optimization strategies for street spaces in cities of different sizes, offering insights for urban planning aimed at enhancing public well-being.
