Special event celebrates 75th anniversary of PRC founding in Berlin

A special cultural event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was successfully held in Berlin, Germany, on Saturday.

Titled “Written in the Sky: My China Story,” the event was jointly organized by China Media Group (CMG), the Chinese Embassy in Germany, and the Center for Language Education and Cooperation under China’s Ministry of Education.

The German Burg Chinese Chorus performed classic Chinese and German songs, including “On Wings of Song” and “Jasmine Flower.” The Shenzhou-18 crew, currently in orbit, sent a video message from the space station and interacted with German teenagers.

Attendees wrote their wishes for the 75th anniversary of the PRC, expressing their commitment to continuing their stories with China to address global challenges and create a better future for humanity.

Shen Haixiong, president of CMG, stated that China aims to strengthen international people-to-people exchanges, promote dialogue among global civilizations, and enhance mutual understanding.

“We will portray the ultimate romantic warmth of Chinese culture, record the continuous legacy of human civilization, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind,” said Shen.

Chinese Ambassador to Germany Deng Hongbo noted that both China and Germany have profound cultural heritage, and their mutual appreciation and learning have been ongoing.

In an era of challenges, Deng emphasized the need for strengthened communication and cooperation, hoping more young Germans will learn Chinese, develop an interest in Chinese culture, visit China, and become friendly ambassadors of Sino-German exchanges.

The “Written in the Sky: My China Story” event will also be held in other countries including the U.S., Canada, Russia, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Nigeria.
