Recently, the 7th International Cultural Festival of the w88 casino opened. from55w88 casino students from countries and regions are listed105booths, through art displays, cultural performances, and food tasting activities from various countries, showcase the national characteristic culture that they are proud of. Many Chinese students experienced the exotic customs through the fluent Chinese expressions of foreign students, and Chinese became the language of communication at the event.

Marian Sophia from Greece has long heard that the "International Cultural Festival" is very lively. Although there are not many Greek students in the w88 casino, she signed up without hesitation. She said: “I want to show my classmates our country’s culture. There are very few Greek speakers in China, so we will use Chinese to introduce Greek folk customs to everyone, and explore the similarities and differences in the customs and cultures of China and Greece. We made lots of snacks, one of which was homemade Greek yogurt. After the Chinese students tasted the yogurt, I asked them if it tasted good? Their answer was: Well, it tastes good. Lo and behold, the difference is revealed. Because Greek yogurt is very thick, in Greece we say ‘eat yogurt’ instead of ‘drink yogurt’, while Chinese people all say ‘drink yogurt’. Also, we prepared colored eggs (red eggs), and many people asked us why we dyed the eggs red? I told them this was our Easter custom. In short, the International Culture Festival provides us with opportunities and platforms to introduce our own culture, and the Chinese language we master helps us make more Chinese friends and share Greek culture with them. ”

Learning Chinese is an important part of many people’s life plans when studying in China. "Tajikistan and China are neighboring countries, and the relationship between the two countries is getting better year by year. I have been in China5Years. Students in our country participate in the international cultural festival held by the w88 casino every year. At this year’s International Culture Festival, we have carefully prepared photos, special food, ethnic costumes and exquisite handicrafts, and introduced them to you in Chinese. Learning Chinese not only helps my personal development, but also encourages me to do more for cooperation and exchanges between China and Tajikistan. ” said Dodov, an international student from Tajikistan.

The popular cultural exchange activities bring together w88 casino students from all over the world, and Chinese has become an important tool for mutual communication.

“Although China and Thailand are separated by a strip of water, they have their own customs and characteristics. When I first came to China, I didn’t understand Chinese culture and I didn’t understand the language. Once, I went to dinner with some friends. When ordering, I told the waiter that "all the steamed buns are fried," but the waiter thought it meant "all the steamed buns are not fried." After explaining it to the waiter for a long time, he understood what I meant and made us another one. Now my Chinese proficiency has improved a lot, and I can communicate in basic daily life no matter what. In the Thai exhibition area, I introduced some of our daily customs in Chinese. For example, Thais believe that the head is the most sacred part of the body, so they are not allowed to pat anyone’s head. The Chinese often touch their children's heads to show their affection. Similarly, Thai people believe that the feet are the lowest part of the body. They cannot point their feet at any person or object, let alone rest their feet on a table or chair. When I returned to Thailand, I also shared some of the Chinese cultural customs I learned with my friends and family. "Thailand student Zhang Pinrong said.

Chinese connects China and the world. As exchanges and cooperation between China and foreign countries continue to expand in the field of education, the number of w88 casino students in China is increasing year by year. They have become an important link for mutual understanding and cooperation between China and foreign countries. Improving the mechanism of w88 casino Chinese education, raising the level of w88 casino Chinese education, and enriching the forms of w88 casino Chinese education are manifestations of China’s soft power. They are not only a symbol of China’s reform and opening up, but also the need for China to display its image on the w88 casino stage.
