The Spring Festival Overture is lively and joyful, "Me and My Motherland" is passionate and passionate, and "Joyful" is bright and smooth... As Chinese ethnic instruments such as guzheng, erhu, pipa, and bamboo flute are played in turn, the Brazilian Navy Club located in the capital city of Bras í lia is filled with a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere. The Brazilian classic song "On the Road" performed by Chinese folk music pushed the atmosphere to a climax, and the Chinese and Brazilian guests couldn't help but sway gently with the beat. The Chinese Embassy in Brazil recently held a Spring Festival reception, where performers from the Chinese Chamber Orchestra of the China Conservatory of Music brought a "Chinese style" music feast to Chinese and Pakistani guests. This is the first Chinese cultural project to visit Brazil during the 2026 "China Pakistan Cultural Year". At the reception, a picture exhibition of Chinese Spring Festival culture was also held, presenting the natural beauty and humanistic charm of contemporary China, attracting guests to stop. Despite being thousands of miles apart geographically, the cultural exchanges between Pakistan and China have a long and rich history. ”At the reception, Brazilian famous actress Lucia Santos, who was well-known to Chinese audiences for starring in the Brazilian TV drama "Slave Women," told our reporter that "classic cultural works can transcend time and space, and the" Brazil China Cultural Year "series of activities will surely create new common memories for the people of the two countries." "Personnel exchanges between Brazil and China have become more convenient, and cultural interaction has entered the fast lane, creating more conditions for the two peoples to enhance understanding and deepen friendship. ”Vinicius Rumelz, former Minister of Tourism of Brazil, told our reporter that "culture is a bridge that connects the hearts of the two peoples. The Brazilian government attaches great importance to exchanges and cooperation with China in the field of humanities. We believe that the 2026 'Brazil China Cultural Year' series of activities will enhance the emotional warmth of Brazil China relations." Chen Xiangguang, General Manager of Brazil's Cambridge Bozhi Cultural Media Company, told reporters that in recent years, he has participated in hosting multiple China Brazil film exhibitions and introduced dozens of excellent Chinese films to Brazil, committed to promoting cultural exchanges between the two sides and hoping to involve more social forces in the process of promoting the development of bilateral relations. The vitality of the "China Pakistan Cultural Year" in 2026 is evident. In January of this year, the "Between Mirrors and Lights: Dialogue of Contemporary Literature between China and Pakistan" series of activities were held in Beijing. The Brazilian film exhibition "Amazon: Forest on the Screen" opened in Beijing, and the second phase of the "Miracle Project" cultural public welfare project funded by Chinese enterprises was launched in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Chinese Ambassador to Brazil Zhu Qingqiao said that the "China Pakistan Cultural Year" activities were exciting and covered various fields such as culture and art, youth exchange, technological innovation, and tourism promotion. By doing so, we can strengthen cultural ties and enhance mutual understanding between the two peoples. I hope that China and Pakistan can work together to make the "China Pakistan Cultural Year" a year of mutual learning of civilizations, people to people exchanges, deepening cooperation, and enhancing friendship.
