Anna Doljikh, a 15-year-old Moscow high school student, walked into the Chinese Embassy in Russia for the first time, fulfilling the wish she made on New Year's Eve during the "Wish Tree" activity. On January 6th, in Moscow, the capital of Russia, Anna learned about tea culture at the Chinese Embassy in Russia. The "Wish Tree" activity is a traditional New Year public welfare event organized by the Russian government. Government and local officials, including Russian President Putin, randomly select New Year's wishes submitted by Russian children and teenagers before the New Year to help them achieve their wishes. According to TASS, since 2018, the event has helped over 210000 Russian children and teenagers achieve their New Year's wishes. This is our family's first time participating in the 'Wish Tree' event, I didn't expect to actually go to the Chinese Embassy Anna's father Mikhail Doljikh told Xinhua News Agency that the whole family was very happy to hear that their daughter's New Year's wish had been chosen. Anna, her sister, and her parents visited the Chinese Embassy in Russia on the 6th. Under the careful arrangement of the embassy, they appreciated Chinese calligraphy, tasted Chinese cuisine, experienced Hanfu culture, and played the game "Black Myth: Wukong"... In this way, Anna's family experienced the charm of Chinese culture up close for the first time. On January 6th, in Moscow, the capital of Russia, Anna (front left) experienced the game "Black Myth: Wukong" at the Chinese Embassy in Russia. Xinhua News Agency reporter Cao Yang, photographed by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui, welcomes the visit of Anna and her family. Zhang Hanhui said that teenagers are the most precious asset, the driving force behind the continuous development of China Russia relations, and the future and hope of China Russia friendship. The Chinese Embassy in Russia is willing to work with friends from all walks of life in Russia to promote the sustained and high-level development of bilateral relations and create more opportunities for friendly exchanges between the two peoples, especially young people. When asked why she made visiting the Chinese Embassy in Russia her New Year's wish, Anna told reporters that she accidentally saw an anime adapted from a Chinese fantasy novel and found the story and cultural elements very charming. She also developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, so she came up with the idea of "going to the Chinese Embassy to take a look". Anna said that during the visit, whether it was calligraphy, tea art, or exquisite Hanfu, everything was very fresh and interesting, especially knowing that many beautiful landscapes in the game "Black Myth: Wukong" were taken from real scenes. She hopes to visit China one day. I want to see the beautiful China and chat with the people there. Before that, I must learn Chinese well Anna said. Anna's mother Maria Doljikh told reporters that many children in Russia are learning Chinese and their interest in China is constantly increasing. Anna is learning Chinese under the guidance of her teacher. I have fully studied Pinyin and am slowly learning to recognize and read Chinese characters, "Anna said. Although learning Chinese is not easy," I will persevere. (New Society)
