Changning District of Shanghai held its second talent
competition for foreigners on April 14, 2007, and the theme this
year was cooking Chinese dishes instead of singing and dancing last
year.
Currently there are more than 60,000 foreign families with about
30,000 members living in Changning District, not including the 21
foreign consulates here.
The Changning district government has long been working hard to
create a friendly community for foreigners here, and the talent
competition is a good example of their work.
Some 20 families from the US, Japan, Germany, etc, took part in
the competition this year, to whom the competition could serve as a
good platform for them to learn Chinese culture and lifestyle, as
well as the Chinese language.
