KFU Branch in Naberezhnye Chelny celebrated festival 'The many faces of Chinese Culture'

On February, 28 festival “The many faces of Chinese Culture” was held in concert-and-lecture hall of KFU Branch in Naberezhnye Chelny. It was organized because Centre of Chinese Culture  at the Faculty of Foreign Languages celebrates 4 years this year. However, acquaintance with Chinese traditions was not accidentally dated to the last calendar winter day. New Year holidays have recently finished, and the New Year itself – Chuntsze- in translation means “Spring holiday”.

Pre-spring festival was opened by the Dean of the Faculty of Foreign Lamguages Liliya Sakaeva and Director of the KFU Branch in Naberezhnye Chelny Makhmut Ganiev. They noticed the results which achieved the Centre of Chinese Culture  for three years of its existence. To witness the success of colleagues from Chelny came guests from the Confucius Institute: Senior Lecturer Chen Wei, Senior Lecturer Khan Yun, Philology Master Li Yan, Assistant Ilina Usmanova and students.

Chinese language is taught in our Branch for three years. Liliya Sakaeva noted that study of the Chinese Language is perspective, not only within the Branch, but the entire region. In addition, the Confucius Centre which operates under the Department of Foreign Languages is the only one in the region and  native speaking teachers are employed here. Among them is Chen Wei. She likes to teach Russian students because of their high level of interest in the Chinese language.

But, like any other language, the Chinese can not be understood and adopted without knowledge of the culture of the country. That is why students under the guidance of teachers actively study Chinese culture, and their results supported conduction of the Festival.

Students of the Branch and the Confucius Institute were carefully preparing for the holiday. All their performances reflected Chinese wisdom, which was represented in the heritage of Confucius and country traditions. Students have demonstrated their linguistic and theatrical abilities through songs, poems, plays and playing the national instrument - Hulusi. Kazan guests  were deeply touched by this festival.  

This festival  could not be possible without support of other Branch members.
