Chinese Book Club Language Day

The event will consist of three segments: a short Chinese music performance, a talk and a roundtable. Chinese star Mr. Shēn Zhōu will sing "Ode to Peace", a new song specially composed for this year's UN Chinese Language Day.

Mr. Chén Ji (DGACM), who translated the lyrics of "Ode to Peace" into English, will delve into the minutiae of the translation process and illustrate the vital importance of wielding human prowess and savor-faire to build cultural bridges through language.

During the roundtable, the young Chinese creators of "Ode to Peace" will share their insights with the audience.
