WASHINGTON, March 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CGTN America & CCTV UN releases "Peng Liyuan Encourages German Students, Teachers to Convey China-German Friendship through Music"
Peng Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, has encouraged a group of German students and teachers to continue acting as a bridge of communication between China and Germany and convey China-Germany friendship through music.
Peng made the remarks on Thursday while meeting representatives of students and teachers from the Chinese Choir of Burg Gymnasium, who are visiting Beijing No.35 High School.
The Burg Gymnasium, a German high school, has been offering Chinese language courses since 1994, and has organized several visits to China for exchanges in recent years.
During Thursday's meeting, Peng said that through joint efforts, the choir has built a bridge of cultural exchanges between China and Germany and become a shining symbol of China-Germany friendship.
Olaf Millmann, president of the choir association, thanked Peng for her care and support for the choir, and said that more and more German teenagers have come to know and love China by learning Chinese through singing. They will continue to actively build a bridge of communication through music and Chinese, enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between German and Chinese teenagers, she added.
The student representatives of the choir talked about their studies and expressed their love for China to Peng in Chinese and said that they would continue to work hard to learn Chinese well.
Peng praised the students for speaking Chinese better and encouraged them to share their experiences in China with their families and friends after returning home and continue the stories of China-Germany friendship.
The establishment of the Chinese choir of Burg Gymnasium was inspired by Peng. During her visit in 2014, the students asked her how to improve their Chinese pronunciation. Peng recommended that they sing Chinese songs. Since its founding, the choir has appeared on many important diplomatic occasions between China and Germany and has put on a number of Chinese chorus performances.
