Recently, the Office of the Ministry of Education officially announced the list of winners of the national competition of the 7th "Classics Glorify China, Inherit the Cultural Heritage" Chinese Classic Recitation, Writing and Speech Competition. International students from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law performed outstandingly in this national-level event, winning several honors. Among them, JAMBALDORJ BUJINLKHAM, a Mongolian undergraduate student from the School of Business Administration, won the first prize in the "Poetry Education China" category for international students with his interpretation of the poem "Seeing Meng Haoran Off at the Yellow Crane Tower". Additionally, two other works won the third prize and the excellence award in the "Reading China" category respectively.
The winner of the first prize, JAMBALDORJ BUJINLKHAM, presented a deep interpretation of Li Bai's classic poem "Seeing Meng Haoran Off at Yellow Crane Tower" under the title "Fireworks Carry Dreams, Solitary Sails Convey Emotions". She started from the core images such as "fireworks" and "solitary sail", meticulously dissected the profound friendship between Li Bai and Meng Haoran in the poem, and at the same time, combined her own cross-cultural experiences to vividly convey the feelings of reluctance and melancholy contained in the verses, vividly interpreting the poetic sentiment that "all scenic descriptions are expressions of emotions". Her solid Chinese language foundation, rigorous interpretation logic, and sincere emotional expression enabled her to stand out among many contestants and successfully win the first prize in the international student category.
In the concurrent "Read China" Chinese Classic Reading Competition, international students from our university also performed well. The Ghanaian student BIMPONG-DONKOR NAANA NHYIRA delivered a touching performance of Zhu Ziqing's classic essay "Hurry", and ultimately won the third prize at the national level. In addition, a team composed of CHILLA MOKOM ROMEO, a postgraduate student from Cameroon in the School of Business Administration, JAMBALDORJ BUJINLKHAM, an undergraduate student from Mongolia, KONONOVA ELIZAVETA, an undergraduate student from Russia in the School of Journalism, and NNABUIKE SUNDAY CHISOM, a postgraduate student from Nigeria, jointly recited the contemporary poem "Chinese Language", conveying their love for the Chinese language with sincere emotions and won the national excellence award.
It is reported that in the past three years, international students from our university have achieved remarkable results in the Chinese Classic Reading, Writing and Speaking Competition. The acquisition of this honor fully demonstrates the achievements of the International Education College in promoting the international dissemination of Chinese excellent traditional culture and enhancing the Chinese language proficiency and cultural understanding ability of international students. In the future, the International Education College will continue to build a multi-cultural exchange platform to help more international students become disseminators of Chinese excellent traditional culture and envoys of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.
