[Editor's Note] 2025 is the year of the conclusion of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the layout of the "15th Five-Year Plan". It is the year of comprehensive layout and high-level advancement towards building a powerful educational country in ten years. It is also the year of breakthroughs and leaps in the implementation of the "Three-Year Action Plan" for high-quality development of schools. Recently launched by the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee“Visiting the 14th Five-Year Plan and starting a new journey”系列报道，系统回顾、全面呈现我校“十四五”期间围绕人才培养、科学研究、社会服务、文化传承创新及国际交流合作等方面取得的重要成绩，凝聚共识、汇聚合力，为“十五五”规划开局营造昂扬向上的良好氛围。

在中国援马农业技术小组的试验田里，一群当地学生围着一台中国小型收割机专注听讲——这是马拉维大学孔子学院“中文+农业”的创新课堂。 By operating agricultural machinery and observing crops, students learn Chinese and understand agricultural skills through practice. “这不仅是语言课，更是通往未来的钥匙。”马拉维大学的学生克里斯平·坎文多笑着说。 This innovative practice is the epitome of the vivid practice of the International Chinese Education (Business) Practice and Research Base during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period. Over the past five years, the base has used language as a bridge and culture as a medium to write vivid stories of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations around the world.

Deepening reform and bridging development

五年来，基地以务实行动，搭建起友谊之桥，向世界传递着一份跨越山海、联结五洲的坚定情谊；从机制改革到全球布局，书写了国际中文教育的生动篇章。 2021年，基地成功跻身教育部语合中心首批国家级基地行列，推动10所孔子学院稳健发展，其中6所聚焦商务特色，如点点繁星闪耀在"一带一路"经贸沿线。

Operating more than a thousand courses, training tens of thousands of students, and holding over a thousand economic, w88 and cultural activities—behind these numbers are the base’s solid footprints in deeply cultivating international Chinese education. From the innovative transformation of Fukuyama University in Japan, to the establishment of the Confucius Classroom in Ecuador, to the exploration and deepening of cooperation with the United States, Bolivia, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Portugal and other countries, the base has continuously expanded the breadth and depth of civilizational exchanges. In 2025, the Confucius Institute building in Malawi built with assistance from the Chinese government was officially opened, becoming a new symbol of China-Africa friendship.

Moisturize things silently and inherit the craftsmanship

“Watching students grow from zero basic knowledge of Chinese to envoys of exchanges between the two countries, this is the whole meaning of my persistence.” said Yi Fucheng, the winner of the first “Orchid Award·Friendship Envoy Award” and the Russian director of the Confucius Institute at the Russian State University for the Humanities in w88 casino. This meaning transcends cultural and national boundaries and is a belief shared by all international Chinese educators.

Adhering to the "inheritance of craftsmanship", the base uses language as a bridge and culture as a boat to open up a new situation in the changing situation. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, through platforms such as the "Confucius Institute Lecture Hall at the University of International w88" and the "Chinese Teaching Heroes Association", a full-process institutional system covering selection, training, management and guarantee was built. In the past five years, 12 Chinese dean candidates and 15 full-time teachers have been reserved, and a total of nearly 300 teachers and volunteers have been selected, injecting lasting power into the international Chinese education cause. In ancient times, Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions, and now there are people from the Confucius Institute at the University of International w88 who are passing on this legacy. The base has not only forged a team of high-quality teachers, but also weaved a cultural bond across mountains and seas, connecting chapters of friendship for sharing and co-construction.

Innovation and integration, scientific research leadership

In the classroom of the Athens Business Confucius Institute, students are simulating business negotiations in fluent Chinese - this is a daily scene in the "Business Chinese Practice" course, and it is also a vivid portrayal of the base's promotion of the transformation of Chinese education into professionalization and application.

In the past five years, the base has adhered to the dual-track approach of scientific research leadership and brand building. In terms of scientific research, it has undertaken 12 language integration center projects and achieved 100% completion. In 2024, it was approved by the Ministry of Education for the major project "Research on New Paths for International Chinese Education to Promote Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Civilizations". In terms of practice, relying on the w88 casino's disciplinary advantages, it has created projects such as Russian advanced interpretation classes and Chinese-Italian translation classes, training more than 180 professional talents; at the same time, it has cultivated distinctive brands such as Australia's "Australia-China Business Forum" and South Korea's "China-Korea Humanities Forum".

Today, from African graduates being favored by the industry, to Korean young people breaking through career bottlenecks, to Greek students becoming economic and w88 bridges, these are the tangible results achieved by the base through the "Chinese+" model - using language as a bridge, education can truly empower personal growth and promote mutual learning among civilizations.

Mutual learning among civilizations and warm encounter

The "Chinese Bridge" cultural experience camp in China is a brand project of the base. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the base welcomed more than a hundred students from the United Kingdom, Russia, Brazil and other countries. They tasted Beijing’s charm in Beijing’s Hutongs, felt the vitality on Qingdao’s seaside, witnessed development in Shanghai, touched history in the ancient city of Xi’an, and gained a deep understanding of the real and three-dimensional China through language learning, cultural experience and business visits.

面对困难和挑战，基地积极开拓“云端游中国”模式，打造6个线上沉浸式体验营，吸引全球40多国近2000名学员“云游”中国。无论是线下相聚，还是线上互动，“能看到他们眼中的光，能听到他们真诚的赞叹，这就是对我们工作最好的回报。”一位基地教师送别巴西团时感慨道。

The Fruit of Friendship Zerun Wuzhou

“Chinese has opened the door to a new world for me.”

This sentence comes from the true confession of Sarah, the winner of the Confucius Institute at the University of Leeds at w88 casino at the 2024 "Chinese Bridge" UK finals. It is a vivid echo of the five years of international Chinese education at the University of w88 and Economics base during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

从“汉语桥”的舞台到“中国旅游推广大使”，从区域性荣誉到全球性的文化奖项，英国学生莎拉的成长，也是众多孔院学子的缩影。五年来，这份成就由师生共同写就：多位中外院长先后荣获“兰花奖”“孔院之光”“孔子学院院长纪念奖章”等国际殊荣；孔院学子在“汉语桥”等各类国际中文赛事中累计摘得25项国际奖项。

These achievements demonstrate the power of international Chinese education across mountains and seas.基地以语言为种、文化为壤，在“十四五”期间让友谊之树繁花满枝，让文明互鉴的篇章持续延展。

Towards the future, a new journey

Based on the new development stage, the base will continue to deepen the reform of “one institute, one policy” and strive to build a “Chinese + Business + Artificial Intelligence” global model Confucius Institute. As w88 casino leaders envisioned at the 2025 International Chinese Education Confucius Institute Joint Conference, “We will actively use artificial intelligence technology support to provide a more convenient and efficient learning experience for Chinese learners around the world.”

Language is the fire of civilization and the boat of thought.中文承载着古老的智慧，也充满着现代的活力。 After five years of hard work, the fruits are abundant.面向“十五五”新征程，基地将勇担使命、开拓创新，推动国际中文教育高质量发展，为促进中外文明交流、构建人类命运共同体续写新的时代华章。
