May 11, 2026 The First International Chinese Language Programme Showcase by Non-Chinese Speaking Students at Yaumati Kaifong Association School
On May 11, 2026, Prof. TANG Sze-Wing, Director of the Hong Kong Base of the Joint Research Institute for International Communication of Language and Culture of the Ministry of Education, attended the First International Chinese Language Programme Showcase by Non-Chinese speaking (NCS) Students at Yaumati Kaifong Association School. Over 70 NCS students from the school performed the original theme song for the students of International Chinese "Different but Wonderful," which was specially composed by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. The students expressed their feelings through songs and conveyed their thoughts in Chinese, showcasing what they had learned over the past months and the rich fusion of diverse cultures. Against the backdrop of promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, International Chinese Language Education has become a pillar of national strength, playing a vital role in the strategies of building a culturally strong nation and developing a quality workforce. Looking ahead, the Hong Kong Base of the Joint Research Institute for International Communication of Language and Culture of the Ministry of Education will continue the research-teaching collaboration with local NCS schools, advancing International Chinese Language Education and helping more NCS students learn Chinese and integrate into Hong Kong society.
