The event brought together more than 200 school students, university students, and teachers from Astana.

\u201cToday, school students and university students have come together here, for whom learning the Chinese language is not only about education, but also about discovering China\u2019s rich culture and history. This concert clearly demonstrates how language becomes a bridge between people. May the coming New Year bring harmony, new opportunities, and further strengthening of friendship between our nations<\/em>,\u201d said Sergey Pen<\/strong>, Vice Chairman of the MNU Board for Science, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergey Pen<\/strong> also noted that MNU maintains productive cooperation with Chinese partners. In addition, the Chinese language remains in high demand among university students, with approximately 300 students currently studying it.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cChun Jie is a day of family unity and harmony, a symbol of spring and good hope for future life among the Chinese people. This is also echoed in a Kazakh proverb: \u2018When the breath of spring rises, the fire of hope burns.\u2019 I am very pleased to meet teachers and students who are passionate about learning the Chinese language. I would like to thank MNU and all participants for organizing this wonderful event<\/em>,\u201d said Han Chunlin<\/strong>, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of China to Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that the Spring Festival is included in UNESCO\u2019s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This year, Chinese New Year will be celebrated on February 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
