Harmony and Diversity: Celebrating Chinese Culture through English Oratory
When it comes to the art of public speaking, many people assume that it is a purely Western concept. However, as we delve into the world of oratory, we discover that different cultures have their unique approaches to this skill. In China, for instance, there is a rich history of storytelling and poetry recitation that has shaped its approach to public speaking.
Eager to share this aspect of Chinese culture with an international audience, students at Peking University decided to create an "English Speech Competition on Chinese Culture." The competition aimed at showcasing not only their mastery over the English language but also their deep understanding and appreciation for China's cultural heritage.
The event featured several rounds where participants were asked to deliver speeches on various aspects of Chinese culture such as Confucianism, calligraphy, martial arts and traditional festivals like the Spring Festival. The contestants drew heavily from these themes while incorporating personal anecdotes and real-life examples.
One participant spoke about how she learned calligraphy from her grandmother during summer vacations in rural China. She explained how each stroke represented a philosophy or story behind it. Another student delivered a speech about his experience learning Tai Chi in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
What was remarkable was not just the depth of knowledge displayed by these young speakers but also their ability to convey complex ideas using simple yet powerful language. They effortlessly wove together historical facts with contemporary relevance making it easy for both local and international audiences understand the essence of Chinese culture.
As one judge observed,"These students are not just proficient in English; they have demonstrated an impressive level of cultural sensitivity which allows them connect with diverse groups."
In conclusion, celebrating Chinese culture through English oratory has opened up new avenues for intercultural exchange between East and West. It serves as a testament that even though languages may differ across borders so do methods when expressing oneself eloquently before an audience.
