The School of Chinese Language-Zhong Wen Xue Xiao

  India

Calcutta

Description:
The School is a non-profit endeavour, a Trust; it provides a platform towards breaking of barriers with the power of Language and Understanding. Insofar as the relationship between the peoples of China and India are concerned, we are of the firm belief that there is a gap in the understanding of each other, and each other's cultures; we are also convinced that the 21st century belongs to the two great nations.

In the words of Mr Mao Siwei:
&I believe that the world has enough space for China and India, the two largest developing countries, to develop together&. I believe that an increasing number of young Indians will learn the Chinese language&..The School, formed to promote understanding and learning has our blessings&&..

Ergo, The School...
