The 13th “Chinese Bridge” Competition has a history of 13 years, which has achieved remarkable results. “I hope ‘Chinese Bridge’ Competition will pass down generation after generation," said Xu Jialu, “different countries should communicate with each other in culture, so that the global culture will be more brilliant."
“The 13th 'Chinese Bridge' Competition connects the five continents, and it plays an important role in facilitating the communication of different people, language and culture, so as to promoting the world peace and human harmony,” said Xu.
As an international Chinese proficiency competition, the Chinese Bridge Contest is sponsored by the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban). Since the first session in 2002, the competition has been held for 12 sessions and attracted more than 300,000 college students around the world to showcase themselves in the preliminary matches, among which over 1,000 college students from more than 80 countries have been invited to China for the finals. The competition tests the contestants’ Chinese language abilities, knowledge of China’s condition and skills of Chinese culture, as well as their comprehensive learning ability. The "Chinese bridge" competition has become an important national platform for college students to learn Chinese and understand China.
