Feature: Mandarin guide graduates brace for Chinese tourists in S. Africa

South African tourist guides sing a Chinese song at the graduation ceremony for a Mandarin training program offered by the University of Johannesburg-Nanjing Technology University Confucius Institute in Pretoria, South Africa, March 18, 2021. "Ni wen wo ai ni you duo shen, yue lian dai biao wo de xin (You asked me how much I loved you, the moon can represent my heart)." When hearing this Chinese song, you can hardly believe that it was sung by a group of South African tourist guides who have been learning Mandarin for only two months. These 20 tourists guides were selected from all over the country by the Department of Tourism and accepted the Mandarin training supplied by the University of Johannesburg-Nanjing Technology University Confucius Institute. During the training, they learned Mandarin, enjoyed Chinese culture and shared their achievement and happiness with their peers. (Xinhua/Chen Cheng)
