The winners of the Second CHINAFRICA Short Video Competition were announced on December 8, 2020, at award ceremonies held simultaneously in Beijing, Cape Town and Dakar. A short video based on the life and work of an African football coach in China won the grand prize.

“Through the video, I hope to present a real story of people-to-people exchange between China and Africa,” said Xu Wei, one of the creators of the video. The short video recounts how Pategou Kamgang Francis, a football coach from Cameroon, trains youth in China.

Launched in August 2020, the competition is hosted by BEIJING REVIEW, a news outlet under China International Publishing Group (CIPG). It is also supported by the Chinese-African People’s Friendship Association. With a theme of Working Hand in Hand for a Shared Future, the competition was held in three zones - China, Senegal and South Africa.

Tough criteria

The year 2020 marked the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC). The competition aims to promote China-Africa friendship and enhance people-to-people understanding.

“Compared with the first one, the second competition has more demanding specifications, larger scale and more participants and entries,” said Li Jianguo, Associate Editor in Chief of BEIJING REVIEW.

Should We Stop The Trend of ‘Feminization'?

In traditional Chinese thinking, women are supposed to be gentle and soft and men masculine. In recent years, however, the popularity of young male film and TV stars who appear to be “feminine” in their dressing, hair style and even mindset and their impact on the youth has led some to believe that the Chinese boys are not “masculine” enough.
