Hey amigos! 🌟 Did you know that June 10 marked the first-ever UN International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations? To celebrate, we caught up with a super inspiring Russian PhD student at Beijing Foreign Studies University who's all about building bridges between cultures. 🛤️🌏
She uses her love for music 🎶 to show how different cultures can learn from each other. Isn't it amazing how a song can connect people from opposite sides of the world? Music truly is a universal language! 🎤💖
But that's not all. She's diving deep into the world of contrastive linguistics, studying Chinese, Russian, and English to highlight the similarities among these languages. 🧐📚 Turns out, we have more in common than we think!
She shared her thoughts on harmony, emphasizing that it's all about accepting differences while embracing shared values to build unity. She mentioned the Chinese character \"he\" (和), which symbolizes harmony, and explained how this concept guides cross-civilization communication. 🕊️🤝
Her message is clear: By embracing harmony and engaging in open dialogue, we can foster understanding and friendship across cultures. So next time you hear a new song or learn a new word from another language, remember that you're part of something bigger—a global community connected by harmony and mutual respect. 🌐❤️
