A discussion about the Russian Prime Minister’s use of a Chinese proverb during his visit to China and why it drew attention.
Xiao Pan, did you see the news? The Russian Prime Minister said a Chinese proverb while in China.
I saw it. He said, “Above there is heaven; below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou,” and his pronunciation was very good.
Yes, that line made many people feel warm and was also a form of cultural exchange.
No wonder foreign media paid close attention. A simple sentence can express friendliness.
Right. Besides cooperation, cultural understanding between countries is also important.
I think learning Chinese is the same. Understanding the language helps you understand a country better.
Well said. When you study history in the future, these cultural details will also be useful.
Yes, I’ll keep working hard so I can understand more Chinese stories.
