He invited teachers and students from the "Taiwan Chinese Language Learning Center" in Hungary Dine at the ambassador's residence and experience the Taiwanese New Year's Eve fireplace culture together.

The representative office in Hungary stated that the "Taiwanese Chinese Language Learning Center" in Hungary has been awarded "Excellent" in the global annual performance evaluation by the Overseas Chinese Council in less than two years since its establishment.

Among them, 5 Hungarian students passed the "Chinese Language Proficiency Test". Through learning Chinese, they learned about Taiwan's multiculturalism, democratic development and social vitality. This is the best practice of "soft power public diplomacy".

The representative office in Hungary mentioned that this "desk" sitting around the stove is not only a recognition of the hard work of these Hungarian friends in learning Chinese and traditional characters, but also a "situational teaching" of Taiwanese food culture.

Principal Li of the Chinese Language Center said that he could enjoy a well-known ambassador chef's cuisine with the students, and it was the New Year's Eve dinner around the stove. What the invitees ate was not only the warmth of the Taiwanese ambassador's cooking skills , It is also the best way to actually experience the strong human touch in Taiwan.

And these young Hungarians also use Chinese to send New Year greetings to their friends in Taiwan!
