Vietnamese students learn Chinese and experience Guizhou online

A total of 100 students from Vietnam's Thai Nguyen University were invited to join an online cultural activity called "Chinese Bridge" held by Guizhou Normal University in Southwest China's Guizhou province on Nov 15.

The online activity was organized by the Ministry of Education's Center for Language Education and Cooperation to allow young people around the world to study Chinese language and culture.

The activity will last for seven days and include courses on ethnic culture, ethnic dancing, tea art, embroidery, Guizhou dishes and ethnic songs.

Liu Hai, secretary of the Party committee of Guizhou Normal University's School of Literature, said that the activity allowed overseas students to learn about Guizhou's culture and improve their Chinese.

In recent years, Guizhou has enhanced its cultural exchanges and cooperation with ASEAN countries, helping more and more young people in other countries learn about Guizhou and China.

At the end of 2020, Guizhou had more than 4,000 overseas students, 70 percent of which were from ASEAN countries.
