The Chinese Embassy in Delhi celebrated the 68th anniversary of the Founding of People’s Republic of China with much enthusiasm and colour.With the bilateral tensions over the Doklam standoff resolved for now, Ambassador Lou Zhaohui recalled the prominent persons, including Bodhidharma and Tagore who had served as bridges between India and China through history.
Talking about one of his teachers Professor Xu Fancheng who lived in Sri Aurobindo Ashar, from 1945 to 1978, the envoy who visited the ashram in Puducherry last week said, “He was one of the most famous Chinese scholars translating the Upanishad, Bhagwat Gita and Shakuntala from Sanskrit to Chinese. He also introduced Sri Aurobindo to China.”History could teach us a lot of things. Standing on their shoulders, we should do more today,” added the envoy.
The Ambassador hoped that with joint efforts the two Asian Giants could ‘handle the differences properly’ and ‘enhance mutual trust.’Recalling the message of ‘reconciliation’ and ‘cooperation’ delivered by President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Modi during the BRICS meeting in Xiamen, ambassador Zhaouhui said, “We should dance together.
We should ‘make one plus one eleven’.”A colourful cultural performance, including acrobats, magic and dance was at display. The Ambassador’s Wife Counselor Jang Ili herself took to the stage to perform to a Chinese song as well as Hindi movie song Navrahi Majhi, enthralling the audience.
