"Learning Chinese is not just acquiring a language skill. As a global language, Chinese will open up broader avenues for your future development, help you to step into the gateway of a rich and colorful cultural world, and particularly dedicate yourselves to fostering the friendly relationship between China and South Africa. I sincerely hope that more and more South African friends will learn Chinese, love Chinese and understand Chinese."
