German embrace
Goethe-Institut China has been bridging two cultures for a quarter-century, with cultural exchanges in music, dance, drama and other arts. Chen Nan looks at what's coming next.
Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to Germany highlighted a long relationship that is in full flower this spring with a series of cultural exchanges.
The programs are fueled by the legacy of the writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, an iconic figure in German culture commemorated 200 years after his death in the name of the Goethe-Institut, which has been promoting cultural exchanges around the world since 1951.
