Dear guests, teachers, and dear classmates

Hello everyone!

^{It is a great honor to have the opportunity to participate in today's event. First of all, I would like to express my warmest congratulations on the launch of the 5th iHatoo Chinese Festival and the 1st Entrepreneurship Competition for Students Studying in China! Cultural exchange, language first. ihatoo Chinese is an online education platform for overseas Chinese children and global Chinese enthusiasts to learn Chinese. It has taken root and blossomed in over 120 countries or regions worldwide, playing an important role in inheriting and promoting Chinese culture. As the founder and leader of ihatoo Chinese, Mr. Zhu Min is a renowned overseas Chinese businessman with the most outstanding entrepreneurial spirit and emotions. He has made outstanding contributions to the dissemination of Chinese culture and the promotion of Chinese international education, and has been fully recognized and praised by both domestic and international communities! Today, I am here to launch the Entrepreneurship Competition for Students Studying in China, which is a new platform and carrier developed by Ha Tu Chinese, with strong innovation. We have reason to believe that this event will definitely achieve a complete success! Taking this opportunity, I would also like to share with you the theme of "International students and the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture", and share it with you.}

Firstly, international students are first-hand witnesses of Chinese culture.

As foreign students studying in China, international students have personally experienced various aspects of China's language, customs, traditional culture, and so on. The study and life they spent in China not only deepened their understanding of Chinese culture, but also brought back precious cultural experiences for their homeland. This kind of firsthand experience and feeling is more profound and vivid than any book or material, so international students can spread Chinese culture in a more vivid way after returning to their own country, attracting more people's interest and attention.

Secondly, international students serve as a bridge for cultural exchange.

International students are not only recipients of culture, but also promoters of cultural exchange. They made Chinese friends in China, established Sino foreign friendship, and promoted the exchange and integration of different cultures through mutual understanding and respect. With the efforts of international students, traditional Chinese cultural elements such as Chinese calligraphy, painting, opera, tea ceremony, etc. have gradually spread to various parts of the world, contributing to the diversity of world culture.

Thirdly, international students are disseminators of China's image

As cultural ambassadors of China, international students' actions and words represent the image of China. Their performance overseas directly affects the external perception of China. Therefore, international students need to actively promote a positive image of China, promoting a better understanding of China, its culture, development, and society among the outside world. By showcasing China's cultural charm, technological strength, and international cooperation, international students can help establish a more positive and friendly international community.

Fourthly, ways for international students to promote Chinese culture overseas

Language education: International students can set up Chinese language classes overseas to teach Chinese language and culture, attracting local students and community residents to learn Chinese language and culture.

Cultural activities: International students can organize cultural festivals, exhibitions, concerts, and other activities to showcase traditional Chinese art and culture, attracting the participation of local people.

Exchange Program: International students can promote exchange programs between Chinese and foreign students, organize cultural exchange teams, and allow more foreign students to experience Chinese culture firsthand.

Social media: Through social media platforms, international students can share their life and cultural experiences in China and spread the unique features of Chinese culture to global audiences.

In short, international students are an important force in the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture. Through their personal experiences, cultural exchanges, positive images, and various channels of dissemination, Chinese culture will further penetrate into various parts of the world, promoting the interaction and exchange of Chinese and foreign cultures. I hope that we international students can take responsibility seriously, spread the unique charm of Chinese culture, and contribute to promoting world cultural diversity and international friendship.

Finally, let us work together to make greater contributions to the dissemination of Chinese culture worldwide! Thank you all!
