Ukrainian students embrace Chinese

KIEV - Singing the Chinese folk song Jasmine Blossom, doing a traditional Chinese dance and performing a Chinese wedding ceremony, Ukrainian college students share their understanding of Chinese culture during a theatrical performance.

The show, titled Golden Rooster Heralds the Arrival of Spring, was recently held at the Confucius Institute of the Kiev National Linguistic University.

The fluency in Chinese, demonstrated by the young Ukrainian performers, means much to them as Chinese is deemed in Ukraine as "a language of new chances".
