STORYLINE:
Chinese language students in Zimbabwe on Friday showcased their language competence at the 23rd edition of the Chinese Bridge competition held at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe.
The competition, which drew participants from primary and secondary schools, as well as colleges, was organized by the Confucius Institute at the University of Zimbabwe, with support from the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe and Chinese enterprises.
In addition to speech performances, the competition also included a talent show, in which participants showcased their appreciation of Chinese culture through dances, martial arts, and songs.
The winners from three categories received cash prizes, and first prize winners will represent Zimbabwe at the semi-finals and final competitions in China.
Avril Mukanyangi, 17, who was crowned the champion of the high school segment, impressed the judges and audience with her grasp of the Chinese language and culture.

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): WILLIAM KAMUCHURUKA, Winner of the college students segment of the competition
"Having a chance to go to China, first, I can improve my Chinese. It is also a platform to express myself to use my Chinese to show the world or show everyone the achievements I have (made) in Chinese. There are also scholarships that come with this. So if I continue to push this forward, there is also a chance to study in China."
SOUNDBITE 3 (English): PAUL MAPFUMO, Vice Chancellor of University of Zimbabwe
"We understand the value of language in enhancing teaching and learning, in enhancing cross-cultural fertilization, in enhancing the value of business in a global context."
SOUNDBITE 4 (English): ZHOU DING, Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe
"As is widely known, language serves as a carrier of culture, a ladder that allows us to broaden our perspectives, and a tool that enhances dialogues and communications in this increasingly globalized world."
