The year 2013 marked the inception of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which has attracted widespread attention and positive responses from the international community.

Over the past ten years, language, as a vehicle for thought and culture, has assumed an indispensable role in facilitating cultural exchanges and people-to-people bonds. The Chinese language classrooms in the BRI partner countries have witnessed teachers and students making progress hand in hand with passion and sincerity, as well as the joint efforts of Chinese language teachers, volunteers, local teachers and students to create a brighter future together. They are the pioneers of Chinese language education, as well as the pioneers of exchanges, mutual learning and win-win cooperation across civilizations.

International Chinese language teachers practice their dream of teaching with dedication and love for students, and build bridges of communication and understanding between the people of China and the BRI countries.

Volunteer Chinese language teachers illustrate the volunteer spirit of dedication with their words and deeds, and contribute their youth to the international Chinese language education.
