Honoring a National Hero: Chyngyz Aitmatov Week at AUCA The Kelechek (future) Kyrgyz language club and the Kyrgyz language department have organized the week of Chyngyz Aitmatov dedicated to his life and work which coincides with his birthday on the 12th of December. From the 8th to the 12th of December, students at AUCA prepared a variety of interesting events and programs for the celebration of Chyngyz Aitmatovs birthday. The goal of the weeklong program was to improve students knowledge about Aitmatovs life and works, promote interest in his books, and to honor his tremendous contribution to Kyrgyz and world literature. In the framework of the week several activities were held, including an exposition about his life and books, a competition among students, a display of the movie “Cranes Fly Early”, a literary-musical evening, and a performance called «12 Days» by actors of the Theater of the Young Audience named after B. Kydykeeva. When the students at AUCA were asked who Chyngyz Aitmatov is for them, and the responses were positive. “He is a mysterious author for me. All of his works are ambiguous and when you finish reading at the end you think of your own ending of the story. This is you, who decide how the story will end, whether it will have a happy ending or sad. actors ch.aAn example of such stories can be “Beliy parokhod” (White Steamship), where the boy jumps into the water and it ends, or maybe “Jamliya”, where she runs away from her husband’s house with her lover”, said Samat Durusbekov, student of Anthropology. https://auca.kg/en/auca_news/1822/
