BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — Shandong Normal University (SNU) in eastern China's Shandong Province on Thursday held an opening ceremony for the 2025 summer camp for students from St. Petersburg as part of the "Chinese Language Bridge" project. The event was organized by the China-Foreign Language Exchange and Cooperation Center under the Chinese Ministry of Education with the support of the SNU Institute of International Education.

As reported on the official website of SPU, Vice-Rector of the university Li Na warmly greeted the Russian guests in her welcoming speech. She emphasized the deep traditions of Chinese-Russian friendship and fruitful cooperation, noting the growing interest in studying the Chinese language in Russia. In recent years, the university has been actively implementing the Belt and Road initiative, expanding educational cooperation with Russian partners: a program for training local Chinese language teachers at Russian universities has been launched, a project to popularize the Chinese language for comprehensive schools in Russia has been implemented, and the Sino-Russian Virtual Department of the Chinese Language has been created. SPU plans to use the opportunities of the newly opened camp and the cross-cultural years of China and Russia to deepen mutual understanding between the peoples and strengthen friendly ties between the two countries.

In the coming days, campers will learn Chinese through interactive lessons, experience traditional crafts first-hand, and immerse themselves in the spring culture of Jinan City (the capital of Shandong Province, East China), feeling the unique pulse of the city through its crystal-clear springs. At the summer camp, young people will also improve their language skills, learn the depth and richness of Chinese traditional culture, and build new bridges of friendship amidst the picturesque scenery of Jinan City.

The project was reportedly not only a deep cultural immersion but also a practical contribution to strengthening mutual trust between China and Russia. -0-

BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — The International Cultural and Tourism Festival on the Theme of the Kyrgyz Oral Heroic Epic "Manas" will be held from July 13 to 20 in Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the prefectural government said.

The festival, which will bring together more than 300 guests from China and abroad, will feature eight thematic events, including scientific seminars, a Manas epic storytelling competition, and the signing of agreements in the fields of culture and tourism.

During the festival, memorandums of cooperation in the field of culture, tourism and physical education will be signed between the cities and regions of Kyrgyzstan and the Kyzylsu-Kyrgyz Autonomous Okrug, covering the joint protection of intangible cultural heritage, holding sports competitions, cross-border tourism and border trade and the joint development of cross-border e-commerce.

Innovative methods for preserving the epic will be an important part of the events. Experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other organizations will discuss issues related to preserving the epic using digital technology. In addition, the festival will launch a new research institution aimed at digitizing, protecting and preserving Manas. The founders of this institution are Xinjiang Normal University and the authorities of the Kyzylsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Region.

The heroic epic “Manas” is a cycle of tales related to the life and exploits of the main character – the legendary hero Manas, the unifier of the Kyrgyz tribes. It occupies an important place in the oral folklore of the Kyrgyz. This epic poem is known as one of the three heroic epics of the national minorities of China, along with the heroic epics “King Gesar” of the Tibetan ethnic group and “Dzhangar” of the Mongolian ethnic group.

Let us recall that on May 1 of this year, a new legislative act on the preservation of the Manas epic came into force in the XUAR. -0-
