15 Years of UN Chinese Language Day: A Melodic Tribute to Culture
Did you know the UN designated April 20 as 📅 Chinese Language Day in 2010? Falling on Grain Rain 🌧️—a solar term symbolizing growth—the date honors Cangjie, the mythical creator of Chinese characters. This year marks the 15th anniversary, and the celebrations are going viral!
Enter Professor Peteris Pildegovičs, an 87-year-old 🎓 Sinologist from Latvia, who teamed up with students to launch a cultural fiesta—including a 🎶 catchy anthem titled "The Chinese Language – Brilliant with Charm!". The song mixes beats about spring rains nurturing crops with lyrical nods to Cangjie’s legacy, all while spotlighting how language bridges global communities. 🌉✨
For Professor Pildegovičs, this project is a labor of love: "Language connects hearts, not just words," he shared in a heartwarming video cameo. Stay tuned—this cultural bop drops soon on CGTN! 🎥
