GLOBALink | UN Chinese Language Day marked in Moscow

An event was held at a bookstore in Moscow on Wednesday to launch two new books about China, in celebration of the United Nations Chinese Language Day. The two books are "The Magic of Chinese Paper-cutting" and "The Wisdom of Chinese Characters." Zhang Hanhui, the Chinese ambassador to Russia, congratulated the event through a video, saying he hoped the language learning could open a window for the people of China and Russia to enhance understanding and deepen friendship, and make greater contributions to promoting cultural exchanges between the two nations. The author of the book on paper-cutting, Irina Zakharova, shared her experience of visiting folk artists in northern China. Since 2010, the UN has marked Chinese Language Day on April 20 over the language's contribution to the world while encouraging more people to learn it. Produced by Xinhua Global Service
