Bridging Cultures

Guess what former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd，Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and US president Donald Trump's granddaughter, Arabella Kushner，have in common? They all study Chinese as a second language.

Although Chinese is known as one of the hardest languages  to  learn, a  lot  of  people  from  different backgrounds are studying it with hopes of big benefits.

Nov 2 saw more than 120 people, representing 105 countries, compete in the finals of the 12th “Chinese Bridge” Chinese  Proficiency  Competition  for  foreign secondary school students.Held in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, the finals featured speech contests and talent shows.The contestants also visited the Shaolin Temple，Longmen Grottoes and other historical sites in Henan.

While reasons for learning Chinese varied among contestants, a  common  one  was enthusiasm for  the country's rich culture and rapid development.

Raissa,17，from the Union of the Comoros, developed a strong emotional connection with China after her grandmother was cured by doctors of the Chinese medical team in Africa three years ago.This led her to learn Chinese at a local Confucius Institute.

Fascinated by Chinese culture, the contestant has taken part in activities on traditional Chinese medicine and folk arts during her first trip to China.“My_dream_is_to_study_medicine_in_China _so_that_I_could_cure_patients_like_the_Chinese_doctors_did，”_she_said.

For Fekete Marcell Zoltan, 17, from the Hungarian­Chinese Bilingual School, studying Chinese may secure him a future job as a Hungarian diplomat to China.“After graduation from high school, I would like to further my studies in China，” he said.

Now that a bridge has been established between the contestants and China, where will their

journeys take them?

Robert  Davis,  director  of  the  Chinese­language program in Chicago's public school system，may give you a hint.“Chinese isn't the new French.It's the new English，”he told CGTN.
