Portuguese versions of Xi titles launched

The Portuguese versions of the TV series Xi Jinping's Classical Literary Quotes and the Historic Journey documentary series have been launched on prime-time slots in Brazil as well as on new media platforms in the country.

The two productions were launched in the country by Brazil's Bandeirantes Communication Group on Monday.

Officials including Shen Haixiong, president of China Media Group, and Governor of Sao Paulo Joao Doria attended the premiere of Historic Journey in Brazil.

Shen believes the Portuguese version of the documentary series will give Brazilians insights into China, allowing audiences there to understand more about the changes China has undergone and enabling a deepening of cultural exchanges between the two peoples.

"This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil. The China-Brazil comprehensive strategic partnership has been deepening under the guidance of the two heads of state and has become a model of South-South cooperation," said Shen.

Joao Doria said: "The Brazil-China friendship is not limited to the economy and trade. The Brazilian people want to know more about China. We believe the two feature films will better promote the mutual understanding and lasting friendship between the two peoples."

Xi Jinping's Classical Literary Quotes features carefully selected famous sayings and historical stories from ancient Chinese classics, quoted by the president in his speeches, articles and talks. The series is opening a window for billions of people around the world to understand how Xi has successfully brought China, the world's largest developing country, into a new era. Viewers can learn how the Chinese people are marching toward the Chinese Dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Historic Journey details achievements made over the 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
