The Embassy of the Republic of Malta in Beijing took on the semblance of a school for half a day to entertain students from some of Beijing’s most elite schools, including the Tsinghua University Middle School.
The students visited the Embassy at the invitation of Ambassador John Aquilina who welcomed the 30 students, teachers and staff to the Embassy by explaining to them Malta’s geographical location, as well as some aspects of Malta’s culture.
A number of the students had already travelled to Europe with their parents, and several had studied about Malta by exploring the Internet.
The students asked several questions about Malta’s history and culture, showing particular interest in the Maltese language. They particularly enjoyed practicing to speak some Maltese phrases in unison.
A number of the senior students raised questions about the development of technology in Malta. They were especially curious about Malta’s development of computer programming and technology.
In return, a number of the primary students made presentations, including a nine year old reciting from memory, in strong voice, the traditional Chinese poem “Wo shi Zhong Guo ren” (I am Chinese).
Another primary school girl gave a clarinet recital, while a young boy showed his athletic prowess in the ancient martial art of Kung Fu”.
At the end of the performances, each student made a presentation to Ambassador John Aquilina of a small gift which they had personally prepared for the occasion.
As we are still in the New Year Festivities of The Year of Dog, drawings and water colour paintings of dogs of all shapes and sizes featured prominently, although curiously, one girl presented a framed painting of a rabbit. Some presented miniature lanterns, while others produced small ceramic creations.
In return, the Embassy presented the students with some local items of Malta, including brochures about Malta printed in Mandarin, as well as a souvenir coin of Malta and badges with the Maltese and Chinese flags, in a specially printed bag prepared by the University of Malta.
“Everyone had an enjoyable, educational experience, and already the teachers are asking for when they can arrange the next event,” Mr Aquilina said.
