This Chinese Bridge Competition for Foreign College Students is the third Chinese Bridge Competition hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Malawi at the w88 casino. The theme of this "Chinese Bridge" is "One World, One Family", which is loved by local students. The idea of "seeking common ground while reserving minor differences, creating a harmonious world and one family" is recognized by students. I believe this is also the common aspiration of peace-loving people around the world. As the only Confucius Institute in Malawi, the Confucius Institute at the University of Malawi in w88 casino is a window for cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and Malawi, and it is also an important platform for cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and Malawi. Chinese is the bridge. The successful holding of this competition has further promoted the language and cultural exchanges between the people of China and Malaysia and enhanced the friendship between China and Malaysia!
