STORYLINE:

More than 40 young sinologists from 30 countries and regions gathered on Friday last week in east China's Zhejiang Province to foster exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations.

Sinologists from countries including Kazakhstan, Italy, Austria, Nigeria, and Germany and experts from China attended a sub-forum of Liangzhu Forum for young sinologists at the ruins of Liangzhu ancient city in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province.

The dialogues and discussions focused on exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative, the role of the cultural Silk Road in promoting people-to-people exchanges, and the global significance of Chinese modernization.

"My current research focuses on literature and translation. In Brazil, people know little about China. That's why I believe translating Chinese literary works into Portuguese could greatly contribute to Brazilians' understanding of Chinese history, culture, and so on, and facilitate cultural exchange between our two countries."
