Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 12, 2018, the “Belt and Road Heart-to-Heart” China Bookshelf Donation Project Ceremony (“一带一路心心相通”中国书架赠书计划) was launched in Johannesburg, South Africa. Around 1000 books introducing China were donated to the local school library and various governmental and non-governmental reading rooms by the Chinese Consulate General in Johannesburg, Chinese-funded enterprises in South Africa, and overseas Chinese. The book content brought by this donation covers Chinese politics, economy, culture, etc. In all aspects, it shows the unique charm of China's contemporary economic progress and culture. The monetary value of the donation is unknown. The project will likely become a long-term project in the future, with both parties agreeing that this project will see long-term cooperation.
