2024-06-06
On the evening of June 3rd local time, at the ancient Alberto Maranion Theater in the northeastern Brazilian city of Natal, the music of "My Motherland" played by the Brazilian orchestra on stage was heard, and many audience members sang along loudly, pushing the "Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between China and Brazil - Brazil East North China Brazil Music Tour (Natal Field)" to a climax. On June 3rd, at the Alberto Maranion Theatre in Natal, Rio Grande do Nord, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Nord Philharmonic Orchestra performed at the "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between China and Brazil - Northeast Brazil China Brazil Music Tour (Natal Stadium)" concert. "This is a strong motherland, where I grew up," said Wang Tiancong, a journalist from Xinhua News Agency. A soprano in the audience was particularly loud. Liu Zhengqin, an overseas Chinese in her sixties, was full of deep affection and tears in her eyes. She had her granddaughter drive from the city of Recife, 300 kilometers away, to watch the performance that day. After the concert, Liu Zhengqin told reporters, "I was very moved by this concert. From the beginning, Brazilian children sang" Jasmine Flower ", to the tenor singing" I Love You China ", and finally to the performance of" My Motherland ", I couldn't help but sing loudly. It's been a long time since I sang such a loud voice because I felt the heartfelt connection between the two peoples from the depths of my soul. That night's concert was performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Nord in Brazil, with classic Chinese and Brazilian music interwoven, making the Chinese and Brazilian audiences marvel at the beauty of the music of both countries.". Brazilian audience Francisco Pontes is listening to Chinese music for the first time. He said, "Although Chinese music and Brazilian music have vastly different styles, I can feel the joyful, melodious, or majestic atmosphere conveyed in the music. I hope to learn more about Chinese culture in the future."?? On June 3rd, at the Alberto Maranion Theatre in Natal, Rio Grande do Nord, Brazil, tenor Cayo Moris (first from left) sang "I Love You China" in Chinese at the "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between China and Brazil - China Brazil Music Tour in Northeast Brazil (Natal Stadium)" concert. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Tiancong photographed tenor Cayo Moris singing "I Love You China" in Chinese with correct pronunciation. He said that he started learning to sing Chinese songs in January last year and has since performed them at the Chinese Embassy in Brazil's New Year reception and during the Chinese Culture Festival in Jo ã o Pesoa. Now he can sing 5 or 6 Chinese songs, and he also plans to start learning Chinese seriously by learning songs. The planner of this concert, Professor Qi Nan from the Federal University of North Rio Grande, told reporters that the school's orchestra has been trying to play some Chinese music since 2013. Some Chinese musicians have come to the school for visits and exchanges, allowing the orchestra to accumulate more and more Chinese music materials. "There is no need for me to push it, and the orchestra often takes the initiative to ask me for the scores of Chinese music. Students are even more curious and enthusiastic about China.". Chinese Consul General in Recife, Lan Heping, believes that this concert is a vivid presentation of the Global Civilization Initiative in northeastern Brazil. She said, "Civilization is colorful through exchange, and civilization is enriched through mutual learning. Civilization exchange and mutual learning are important driving forces for promoting human civilization progress and world peace and development. We hope to appreciate each other's cultural treasures through music, a common language that does not require translation. Through inclusive mutual learning, we can respect the diversity of world civilizations, work together to implement the global civilization initiative, and build a community with a shared future for mankind." On June 3, at the "Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between China and Brazil - Brazil Northeast China Brazil Music Tour (Natal Field)" concert held in Natal, Rio Grande do Nord, Brazil, the audience stood up and applauded for the Northern Rio Grande Federal University Philharmonic Orchestra. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Tiancong took a photo of Fatima Bezela, the Governor of Rio Grande do Nord, watching a concert with Chinese and Pakistani audiences, and together with Lan Heping, unfolding the national flags of the two countries on stage, echoing the logo of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan on the stage background. In the afternoon of that day, Bezela also unveiled the bronze statue of the "50th Anniversary Commemorative Logo of China Pakistan Diplomatic Relations" set up at the headquarters of the North Rio Grande do Sul government with Lan Heping. Bezella said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China 50 years ago, friendly relations have been continuously enhanced. In recent years, the two countries have expanded their cooperation to new energy, developing wind energy, solar energy, and green hydrogen industries, actively addressing climate change, and contributing to the common development of humanity. I hope that the cooperation between the two sides can continue to advance, so that Brazil and China can move towards prosperity together. (Lai Xin She)
