Greek scholar Sotiris Chalikias has long cherished a passion for Chinese language and culture.
He has just shared with a packed audience in Tianjin his understanding of Chinese language and culture in a speech titled Greek and Chinese, the Only Languages That Have Been Spoken Continuously for Over 3,000 Years.
"For about three decades now, studying Chinese culture has become a vital part of my life," says the 61-year-old who can speak putonghua and read ancient Chinese texts with ease.
