He also shared some general ideas of fate and prognostication in East Asia and Europe. A book launch for the new book, Fate and Prognostication in the Chinese Literary Imagination (Brill, 2020) edited by Professor Lackner, Professor Kwok-kan Tam, Professor Monika G\u00e4nssbauer and Professor Terry Yip, was held after the lecture.
