San Marino guests learn Chinese life
Print Edition
UNDER the invitation of the Shanghai People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, a 51-people delegation from San Marino visited the Caoyang No. 2 High School on September 12.
The visitors demonstrated their flag-waving skills on the campus while local students and some Putuo residents performed martial arts and fitness dance.
The San Marino visitors also joined a group of writers and artists from New Zealand, Singapore and Japan to visit a vegetable market, a community center and a hospital of traditional Chinese medicine in Putuo and had dinner at host families in Caoyang Community as part of the “Be Shanghainese for One Day” program.
The residential community built in 1951 has received about 300,000 visitors from over 150 countries.
The “Be Shanghainese” program allows foreigners to experience Chinese life and culture and interact with Shanghai people. Initiated in 1993, the program has become a popular tourism brand of Shanghai.
Caoyang No. 2 High School is a major player in international exchanges.
The school now offers foreign language courses in German, Italian and Dutch. It holds film shows and literary and art activities for students to learn foreign histories and cultures. The students can also join organized holiday tours in Europe. Some of its graduates were admitted to prestigious universities in Europe, such as Goethe University Frankfurt and the University of Pisa.
For over 30 years, the Putuo District Central Hospital has offered TCM internship training to more than 200 students from the United States, France, Switzerland, Japan, Australia and South Korea.
Some of them started their own TCM practice after going home and use traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture and massage, to relieve the pains of patients and cure some difficult diseases.
An increasing number of foreign students are interested in TCM.
