Aristotle deemed political science "the master science," a perspective this course renewed for me. Unlike traditional knowledge-based teaching, it employed a "theory-practice integration" paradigm with scholars, officials, and entrepreneurs as mentors. Crisis simulations and public opinion exercises broadened my thinking, enhancing strategic decision-making skills. Most enlightening was systematically analyzing Hong Kong's evolution, understanding mainland and Hong Kong governance logics, and realizing political leadership as practical wisdom bridging theoretical ideals with reality.
