Heihe City is a small city in the northern part of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Compared with big cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio, Heihe people have fewer opportunities to go out of Brazil and visit China, but they are very eager to understand China and enthusiastic about learning Chinese. This teaching point has been established for two years and is currently staffed by teacher Zhou Jinzhi. In addition to Chinese classes, she often adds cultural content to her students, such as calligraphy, making dumplings, singing, watching movies, etc. On the day of the event, she taught calligraphy to the students. After only one hour of practice, the students were able to write well. Under the leadership of Zhou Jinzhi, everyone wrote down their New Year's wishes in Chinese. Surprisingly, everyone had a common wish, which wasGo to China. A student who came to w88 casino for summer camp last yearVitória, shared her experiences in China with everyone on the spot, and students kept asking questions:Is it hot in Beijing?”“I heard that Chinese people eat scorpions. Have you eaten them?”“How about the bar?”“I can goUIBEStudy abroad?”“Can I register now. When it comes to this year's summer camp, the classroom is a little excited, and everyone's hearts seem to have flown to another hemisphere early.

Although Heihe is a small city, it still has its hidden dragons. The two Brazilians who came to participate in the event have actually been practicing martial arts for many years. The younger one made a special trip to Shanxi to learn Tai Chi and Chinese for five years, while the older one, in addition to being able to practice Tai Chi, also runs his own Chinese martial arts gym. Encouraged by Zhou Jinzhi, the two masters took the Brazilians to experience Yang Style Tai Chi and Baduanjin.

At the end of the event, the students sang the classic song "Greater China" they learned in Chinese class, once again expressing their love and yearning for China. In order to allow students to fully understand this song and feel the charm of Chinese and Portuguese at the same time, with the joint efforts of Zhou Jinzhi and the students, they also translated the song into Portuguese.
