BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) — A group of 25 students and teachers from a Chinese language school in St. Petersburg recently arrived at Yantai Polytechnic Institute to participate in a two-week Chinese culture summer camp.
According to the information portal of Shandong Province /Eastern China/ "sdchina.com", the event, dedicated to the culture of the eastern zodiac signs of China and Russia, combines the introduction of the intangible cultural heritage of Jiaodong /Eastern region of Shandong Province/, marine culture and technology workshops. Its goal is to create a platform for intercultural exchange, deepening the understanding and appreciation of Chinese civilization among the youth of the two countries.
“This summer camp serves as an important platform for youth cultural exchange between our educational institutions,” said the head of the International Relations Department of Yantai Polytechnic Institute. “Participants will have the opportunity to get to know Chinese culture more deeply and at the same time bring elements of Russian culture to China, jointly promoting friendship and cultural exchange between our countries. The organization of this camp will lay a new bridge of cultural interaction, give it a constant impetus and dynamics, jointly promoting bilateral friendship to an even more wonderful future.”
A representative of a Chinese language school in St. Petersburg expressed hope that the camp would further promote the rapprochement and integration of Chinese and Russian cultures. She called on the participants to cherish this unique learning opportunity and to seriously study Chinese language and culture to lay a solid foundation for their future role as envoys of Chinese-Russian friendship.
As part of the summer camp program, Russian participants will not only study Chinese, but also immerse themselves in the immersive experience of deciphering the codes of traditional Chinese culture. After a calligraphy lesson, Maria, one of the campers, said: “This is my first visit to China, to Yantai. I really like it here. Chinese calligraphy for me is a different culture, as if a door to a completely new world has opened.”
“Yantai has beautiful weather, the coastline is as picturesque as a painting, and the sea water is warm and pleasant,” shared another young Russian, Sofia. “Now I constantly think about telling my friends in Russia about the warm welcome here, the beautiful scenery, and the amazing intangible heritage. Chinese culture is incredibly fascinating, I want to explore it even more deeply.” -0-
