For celebrating the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, Peking University invited our ECLC students together with other exchange students to a special activity on Friday evening 6/15. Under guidance of a professional cook, the students were taught how to prepare Zongzi 粽子, a traditional dish that every Chinese loves to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival.
On a sunny Friday in late spring 2018, Danish and German students from the ECLC gathered in the district around one of Beijing’s many ancient landmarks: the Drum Tower. At 13:30, the bells of the Drum Tower heralded a relaxing afternoon for the students who are in the seventh week of studying Chinese language at Peking University.
Eleven students from Aarhus and Würzburg University participated in this year‘s Asian International Model United Nations (AIMUN) conference. The highly anticipated annual event took place from March 29th to April 1st. The students are currently enrolled at Peking University for their compulsory semester abroad of their Chinese Studies Bachelor‘s programme. In addition to their coursework, they thoroughly prepared for their role of representing a designated country in multilateral talks and discussions. Every year our European students proactively take part at AIMUN to engage with international students and learn about foreign affairs.
In June 2017 students from Denmark and Germany went on a two-day excursion to Confucius’ hometown Qufu in Shandong province. Below you will find three accounts from students who took part in the excursion as well as five Chinese essays on the excursion.
ECLC student Anna Straif has been awarded 1st Prize in the 1st „我的中国故事 My Story about China“ video contest, held by the Center for Soft Power Studies, Peking University.
On my blog I was talking about a video I was shooting a couple of weeks ago. So whats all about that video and what for was it?
Three students who are currently studying in the ECLC programme, and one former ECLC student who stayed at PKU in 2015, participate in an online video competition. The competition is held by 文化软实力 (Center for Soft Power Studies), an acadamic organization belonging to Peking University’s School of International Studies. The topic of this year’s competition is 《我的中国故事》(My Story about China).
I’ve already been at 798 Art District in March but it was quite cold back then and I didn’t have that much time as a presentation and some other uni stuff was impatiently waiting for me to be done. Today I finally managed to go there again. So I took my roommate Hanna and we headed off to 798. 798 is located in the north-east of Beijing (beyond the 4th ring) and the ride took us around an hour.
When I was trying to find the gym on the campus I failed completely. Who thought it could be any different? I was in desperate need of a person who could tell me how to find it and I acutally found someone. I came across a sporty looking person and decided to ask her if she’d know where the gym was. She smiled and said it would be quite complicated to explain and it’d be easier if she’d just guide me and my friend to the gym. THANK GOD for sending me her I thought.
Holidays are here. Finally. The first two days I wanted to play safe by not doing much to prepare for Sunday when I wanted to go on a festival with another fellow student. The festival is called strawberry music festival 草莓音乐节 and is located 70 km from Beijing city.
