Bonding Over Bangla In China

Bangla language and Asia’s first Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore have been holding a special place in Peking University (Beijing University) for decades showcasing stronger cultural ties between China and Bangla-speaking people in the region.

Chinese people still practise works of Rabindranath Tagore, the Indian literary giant, and do research on his creative works falling in love with his poems and his friendship with China.

“We’ll continue to promote Bangla and creative works of Rabindranath Tagore. Through this, our friendship will grow and research will see advancement,” Peking University Prof Wei Liming told Dhaka Courier.

Prof Wei at the Department of Asian and African Languages and Literatures, School of Foreign Language under the University said they have introduced Bangla Language and Rabindranath courses which will strengthen cultural ties between the two countries.

“Course related to Rabindranath is one of the most popular courses here,” she said adding that Rabindranath is being practised in China for 100 years.
