Meet Bonnie – a French grad student who’s called Shanghai home for 16 years! 🎓 To celebrate the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic ties, she’s gone viral for reciting Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai’s classic ‘Thoughts on a Silent Night’ in both Mandarin and French. 🎶📜
‘It’s like holding moonlight in two languages,’ Bonnie told us, blending the 8th-century verses with Parisian flair. 🌕 Her performance has racked up thousands of likes, proving that ancient poetry still slays in 2024. 💥
This cultural crossover comes as both nations launch joint art exhibits and student exchange programs. 🖼️✈️ ‘Young people are rewriting the rulebook on friendship,’ said a Shanghai University professor. ‘No Google Translate needed!’
