Xinhua News Agency reporters Zhao Yan and Chen Weihua.
In the early morning of the 14th local time, in the preparation area for the performance of the special group of the Carnival in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, the actors of the "City Garden" samba school greeted each other in the Chinese "I love you" they had just learned, and asked the reporter whether the pronunciation was standard.
I love you, Brazil and China, and our friendship lives on forever. This is the climax of the theme song of the samba school's carnival performance. The "City Garden" dance school, which has won the Belo Horizonte Carnival 18 times, has decided to pay tribute to the Chinese Year of the Dragon this year, with the theme of "Peacock Meets Dragon - Brazilian-Chinese Cultural Journey".
"City Garden" Dance School Principal Alexandre Costa Silva said it was a great thing to show the Chinese theme to the Brazilian people. "On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, we used the 'Chinese Dragon' float and China-themed performances to express our blessings to the Chinese people."
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil. Luo Shihao, Chairman of the Pakistan-China Social and Cultural Research Center, one of the sponsors of this year's "City Garden" Dance School, said: "Today is a joyous moment as we celebrate the Chinese New Year and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China. The performance of the 'City Garden' dance school injects Chinese elements into the carnival, and promotes the integration of the two cultures with art and **. ”
Priscilla, a dentist at the City Garden dance school, showed reporters the astronaut costume she was wearing, saying that the design was to show the scientific and technological cooperation between Brazil and China. "We are very happy and honored to be able to pay tribute to Chinese culture and Pakistan-China cooperation with the performance."
In addition to the "Astronaut" phalanx, this year's performances also include the "Terracotta Warriors" phalanx, the "Zodiac" phalanx, the "Compass" phalanx, the "Fireworks" phalanx, the "Forbidden City" phalanx, etc. The colorful floats are even more eye-catching, especially the tall "Chinese Dragon" float, which attracts many actors and audiences to take a group photo.
Yi Caili, an overseas Chinese living in Belo Horizonte, has been in Brazil for more than 50 years. She said: "This is the first carnival with a Chinese theme performance here, which shows that the relations between China and Pakistan are getting better and better, there is more and more cooperation, and the desire for mutual understanding is getting stronger and stronger, and I am sincerely happy in my heart." ”
* As it sounded, the phalanx of actors and floats dressed in colorful costumes entered the venue one after another, and the "Chinese dragons" on the floats kept "nodding and greeting" to the audience.
Whether it's Portuguese or Chinese, our language is the heart. I love you, Brazil and China, and our friendship lives on forever. The theme song of the Carnival performance of the "City Garden" samba dance school was sung in a loop in the parade of floats, and the Brazilian people used their favorite carnival to send their blessings to the Chinese New Year of the Dragon.
