“Fire of Civilization, Charming Bay Area”——The 2022 “Chinese Bridge” online winter camp of South China Normal University opened smoothly
On February 21, 2022, Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the 2022 “Chinese Bridge” Winter Camp of South China Normal University with the theme of “Charming Bay Area, Dynamic Lingnan” was held. The program is hosted by the School of International Culture(SIC), South China Normal University(SCNU), and the teaching methods are live broadcast and recorded broadcast. After the launch of the online activity of “Lingnan Cultural Characteristic Group Project” in early January this year, it has been well received by students from France, Latvia, Vietnam and other countries, and has won the attention of more Chinese learners. At 4:00 p.m., the leaders of the South China Normal University, the organizers, the teachers of the Confucius Institutes, and the campers gathered on the Chinese Alliance platform on time to witness this exciting moment.
The opening ceremony was presided over by Mr. Dai Xiangbin of SIC. Mr. Liang Tiexiang, Chief of the Office of International Exchange and Cooperation, delivered an opening speech, introducing the teaching construction of South China Normal University and the achievement of cooperation and exchanges with universities in various countries and expressed his high expectations for the students. Zuo Pengjun, Dean of School of International Culture, introduced the Lingnan area and its cultural diversity and inclusiveness of civilization, and pointed out the important position of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in contemporary China’s economic and social development, ideology, culture, science and technology. He also said that this winter camp aims to deepen the students’ experience through the exchange of Chinese and Chinese culture, and welcomes all campers to study at South China Normal University after the pandemic is over. Immediately afterwards, four leading teachers, Huang Yuqian, Zhuang Qianhui, Bai Bingyu, and Pan Shi Lanfang, delivered speeches on behalf of the Asian International Friendship College in Indonesia, Kobe Women’s University in Japan, the Confucius Institute at University of Latvia and Fuchun University in Vietnam, expressing their appreciation to the sponsors of South China Normal University. Thanks from all the staff and wishes for the success of this winter camp. Afterwards, representatives of campers from three countries also made speeches. Among them, Darta (Dārta Krūmiņa), a student from the University of Latvia, also delivered a wonderful speech, wishing the athletes in the Winter Olympics “Good luck and many medals”, and hope that all the friends in the winter camp “Enjoying learning and having fun!”. Finally, Chen Jun, the teacher representative of the winter camp, also came forward to give a speech. In addition to introducing the setting of this course, Ms. Chen also sent sincere wishes to the campers, “I hope you can like this land in Lingnan. If you have the opportunity, you are willing to come here to have a visit!”
When the torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics went out, the winter camp continued to ignite the fire of exchanges between countries and Chinese culture. At the beginning of the new year, I hope that the students can achieve something during the winter camp learning and their Chinese dream will come true. I believe that the international Chinese cause will prosper with the efforts of Chinese lovers and Chinese educators!
