China News Service, Toronto, September 14th. Cong Peiwu, Chinese ambassador to Canada, recently stated at the online meeting of teachers and students participating in the "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition in Canada in 2021 that China’s current sustainable development is contributing more to world peace and prosperity. The exchanges between China and the world have become more extensive and in-depth, which provides a broader stage for Chinese learners.

　　Cong Peiwu said that he thought of three words when he saw many classmates and Chinese teachers who were learning Chinese gathered together.

One is the "key".

Language is the key to understanding a country and culture.

Mastering a language is like opening a door with a key.

Through learning Chinese, everyone can truly experience the long and splendid Chinese civilization and its long history.

　　The second is "windows".

Language is the window to broaden the horizons of mankind.

Mastering a language is like opening a window on the wall.

Through learning Chinese, everyone can better experience the rapid development and prosperity of contemporary China.

　　The third is the "bridge".

Language is the bridge of human communication.

Mastering a language is like building a bridge between two spaces.

Through learning Chinese, everyone can see the new impetus for the progress of human civilization from the mutual learning of different cultures.

　　Cong Peiwu said that Canadian students have performed well in the previous "Chinese Bridge" competitions and won many global championships.

Such achievements are inseparable from the efforts of Chinese teachers.

He extended holiday greetings to all Chinese teachers in Canada and thanked everyone for their contributions to the promotion of Chinese education, the spread of Chinese culture, and the promotion of people-to-people friendship.

　　Cong Peiwu wishes the students who are about to participate in the "Chinese Bridge" finals to fully demonstrate the beautiful demeanor of Canadian youths in learning and using Chinese, to play their best level and achieve ideal results.

He also said that the Chinese Embassy in Canada will continue to provide convenient conditions for Canadian Chinese education.

　　More than 50 Chinese teachers and students from Canada participated in this online meeting online.

Representatives of teachers and students shared their experience of teaching and learning.
