In the charming city of Miskolc, Hungary, something delightful is brewing—and it's not just the tea! 🍵
Meet Fan Liyun, or as her students affectionately call her, Kristi. At 59 years young, this passionate Chinese professor has sparked a tea culture craze at the Confucius Institute of the University of Miskolc.
\"We used to host events to attract students each semester,\" Kristi smiles. \"But now, it's almost unnecessary! We've nearly reached full enrollment even before classes begin.\"
Since her arrival in 2019, Kristi has witnessed a surge in interest. \"I think the number of students in our institute has at least doubled,\" she notes. And what's her secret ingredient? A simple cup of tea.
By sharing the rich traditions of Chinese tea culture, Kristi has bridged gaps and built friendships. Students are not just learning a language; they're immersing themselves in a whole new world. 🌏
\"Tea brings people together,\" she says. \"It's amazing to see how a shared cup can spark conversations and connections.\"
This cultural infusion has energized the campus, with more students eager to explore Chinese language and traditions. Cheers to Kristi for brewing up excitement and fostering cross-cultural bonds! 🎉
