Hoping you are well enough to sit straight before the screen.This is the final version for you to check.I have corrected it carefully.Maybe I have omitted some of them in the past emails.Standups should be given best care to,cos they are unchangeable once they are shooted and recorded,but as for the rest,we can change when back to Beijing.
Hi,I am--.Welcome to this edition of Rediscovering China. Once, in a training camp located in Shenyang,Liaoning Province, a young Chinese girl asked a Brazilian youth, whether his first language is Portugese. He thought for a while and replied half jokingly, 鈥淣o,not Portugese,but football鈥.
--, professsional footballer, comes from Brazil,the largest nation in Sounth America,the land of football and samba,the paradise of spontaneity and improvisation embedded in human nature.
At the end of 2003,a parade of 22 Brizilian footballers, average age 22, were chosen and brought to China.-- is one of them. Under the colors of Sao Paulo, one of the most renowned and time-honored football clubs in Brazil, a subordinate club was created on the other side of the Pacific. China鈥擝razil, Liaoning and Sao Paulo,the name of the new child betrays its mixed blood. (Sue- the name of the team was never mentioned). Their debut and the following matches against some Chinese football clubs in a low--profile manner has spoken volumes for their origins and traditions regarding football. Today,another match is about to be on. Will its rival, Liaoning Football Club, end the winning streak of the Brazilian squad?
Every year,July invariably witnesses the global temperature rise as also in football, be it the World Cup or Continental Cups.As one of the most charismatic sports, it captures wall--to--wall reportings in the mass media worldwide. China is no exception.
Football is,neither more nor less,part of the Brazilian life,whether on beaches or in the open space back in Brazil.They say,Chinese people maybe love watching football,while we Brazilians prefer playing it,whether man or woman.
Brazilians are predestined to get immersed in football and samba. (They play football the way they dance the sambas,and dance the sambas the way they play football.鈥攖his was already said) The carnivals in Brazil are generally accepted to be the most ceremonious and raving of all. On carnivals samba is the everlasting lead,which reveals the extroverted cultural character of this country.
Here they are!The Brazilian dance company is on tour in China to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Brazil--China deplomatic ties.
The rank racial multiplicity explains the charm and vitality of Brizilian culture. Brazil's former capital,Rio de Janeiro claims to be one of the most diverse and beautiful cities in the world.
Beijing is 25000 kilometers away from Rio. Soon,a Rio--Munich-- Beijing flight will usher in the first ever chance that Chinese citizens can travel Brazil without transfer.
In recent years,Latin music has fascinated the whole world. Brazilian music,as an element of the racial fusion, offers sweet and mellow bossa novas, gaining more and more popularity in China, as well as pulsing sambas, the trademark of carnival.Piece all the Brazilian cultural sherds scattered in China together,and you will get an quite a rich contour.
