On March 22, 2017 (local time), the video of Eliza Velica, student of the CI at Bucharest, was uploaded onto a well-known Chinese social platform. In this video, Eliza sang a Chinese song named "Rooms at the Lantern Festival Gala" at an event by the CI at Bucharest. The post was then reposted by the original singer, Ms. Liu Ruiqi. In a short span of time, the video had received over 50,000 clicks and the viewers were greatly impressed by her Chinese language competence as well as her beautiful voice.
Teaching Chinese through Chinese songs is a stimulating way for learning the Chinese language and about a cultural event. It not only helps students of the CI at Bucharest learn more about the Chinese culture, but also provides them with more motivation and confidence in their study of the Chinese language.
