Chinese President Xi Jinping sent an inspiring letter to 61 young sinologists from 51 countries, encouraging them to become cultural messengers between China and the world 🌏.
The 2025 World Chinese Language Conference kicks off this Friday, November 14, and runs through Sunday, November 16, in Beijing. These passionate students of Chinese language and culture will gather to share ideas, learn from experts, and build friendships that cross borders.
Xi emphasized that sinologists are 'the bridge that links different worlds', highlighting the power of language to connect civilizations. He believes they can help people across the globe discover the beauty of Chinese literature, history, and traditions — and bring fresh perspectives back to China.
Last December 2023, a group of sinologists convened at the Liangzhu Forum in Hangzhou City on the Chinese mainland, diving deep into cultural dialogues. This year’s conference in Beijing promises even more vibrant exchanges, workshops, and performances that celebrate diversity and mutual understanding.
For young readers, professionals, and travelers, this event is a reminder that language learning goes beyond grammar: it builds empathy, sparks creativity, and shapes global citizens 😉. Stay tuned as these sinologists turn ideas into action and help weave an even richer tapestry of cultures!
