Mutual Learning | Hardcore friendship shines, true friends and good partners move forward hand in hand
President Xi Jinping concluded his state visit to Serbia and headed to Hungary. The main station's talk show "Mutual Learning" went into Serbia, a colorful country in the Balkan Peninsula. Guests from China and Serbia gathered together to chat about our "iron" friendship and learn traditional Koro dance. In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, let’s talk about the touching stories of people-to-people bonds as we help and learn from each other.
Although China and Serbia are far apart, the two peoples have always been connected hand in hand. The Chinese say, "Friends unite through righteousness." Serbians say, "Friends are the best wealth in life." The "iron friendship" between China and Serbia is ever-lasting and ever-lasting!
On the evening of May 7, local time, President Xi Jinping arrived at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport by special plane and began his state visit to Serbia. Serbian people danced the Koro dance to welcome President Xi. Koro dance is a traditional folk dance in Serbia. Is it easy to learn? Chinese and foreign friends in the studio held hands and jumped up.
When it comes to Serbia, the first impression that comes to Chinese people is "Serbia". The Chinese people have always had special friendly feelings towards Serbia. The Yugoslav movie "The Bridge" and the song "Ah Goodbye, Friend" are widely circulated in China. Nowadays, the high-speed railway built by China in Serbia has become an “ironclad proof” of China-Serbia friendship. Bao Xiaofeng, anchor of the main station's "Xinwen Lianbo", came to Belgrade and boarded Serbia's high-speed train COKO, which connects the two major cities in Serbia like a falcon. How is the scenery along the Belgrade to Novi Sad section? What are the hidden models "Made in China"?
China and Serbia have similar cultural traditions. When it comes to picking up names, they both pursue beautiful meanings and are easy to hear and remember. A guest on the "Mutual Learning" program gave the main station host He Yanke a Serbian name. Coincidentally, the Serbian pronunciation of this name sounded exactly like "Yanke", which surprised the Chinese and Serbian friends in the studio.
With the blending of Eastern and Western cultures, Chinese products have been endowed with great charm. Hanfu, tea... these are common items for Chinese people, but in the eyes of foreign friends, they have become the first choice for "overseas shopping". Cultural collision and mutual learning among civilizations help China’s good products become famous overseas.
The steel-solid friendship between China and Serbia has enabled cooperation in various fields to bear fruitful results. In order to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative and to showcase China's cultural and natural heritage, the Serbian Post Office issued Chinese-themed stamps at the beginning of this year. This is an important manifestation that China-Serbia relations have entered a new stage of all-round and high-level development.
With the rapid development of globalization, people have more and more opportunities to be exposed to different cultures and languages. Due to different cultural backgrounds, misunderstandings may occur when people speaking different languages converse, even if their language is accurate. Often one sentence makes the listener laugh. The Serbian guest in the studio shared a story about "where where" and what went wrong?
China and Serbia have had close exchanges in history, and different cultures have influenced and integrated with each other, forming some common customs and traditions. "Confinement", "giving red envelopes"... these are not exclusive to China. No wonder netizens say: "Serbia is very Chinese, and China is also very Serbian."
On May 10, the program will continue to follow President Xi Jinping’s visit to Europe and visit the beautiful country in Central and Eastern Europe - Hungary. From May 5th to 11th, at 17:00 every day, lock on the CCTV News Channel and CCTV News New Media Platform, and experience the friendship between countries and the intimacy between the people in "Mutual Learning".
