Peng Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, visited the Macau Museum on Thursday, spreading wisdom and inspiration among young students! 🎓✨
She encouraged students in the Macao Special Administrative Region to dive deep into the rich history of Chinese culture. \"I hope you learn more about the history of Chinese culture, study it well, and use the knowledge to better build our homeland and make Macao even better,\" Peng shared warmly. ❤️📚
During her visit, Peng explored cultural relics, learned about Macao's unique blend of Chinese and Western architecture, and even tried her hand at making almond cookies—a local favorite! 🍪 She also chatted with artisans skilled in tile painting and wood carving, embracing the local crafts. 🎨🛠️
This visit comes as part of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Macao's return to China. Over the past quarter-century, Macao has been rocking its cultural heritage, promoting traditional Chinese culture, and fostering exchanges with other countries. 🌏🤝
Macao proudly hosts 12 national intangible cultural heritages, like Cantonese Opera and the Festival of the Drunken Dragon—how cool is that? 🎭🐉 Programs like \"Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture into the Campus\" are instilling love for culture and patriotism in the younger generations. 💖
Students are getting awesome opportunities too! From chatting with astronauts during the \"Tiangong Class\" space education program 🚀 to engaging in cultural exchanges with peers from the mainland, the youth are at the heart of Macao's vibrant growth.
By leveraging its geographical advantages, Macao is also a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and other countries. The China-Portugal Joint Laboratory of Cultural Heritage Conservation Science is one such initiative promoting China's cultural narrative and protecting heritages along the Maritime Silk Road. 🏛️🌊
Macao is shining bright, and with inspiring figures like Peng Liyuan encouraging the youth, the future looks even brighter! ✨
