Ye Shen reviewed the achievements of FNU Chinese teachers participating in volunteer services in recent years. He also expressed his expectations of the teachers of the 2018 batch. Firstly, he expected them to remain true to their original aspirations and keep their missions firmly in mind. With a good sense of honor, mission, and responsibility, they should carry forward the legacy of the predecessors so that it can be passed on to future generations. Secondly, he wished that they could contribute to promoting communications between cultures and enhancing connectivity and friendship between Chinese people and people of other countries by seeing the Confucius Institutes as their home and using languages as a bridge. Thirdly, he expected them to stay in touch with the school as it is always the strongest support to the teachers wherever they are stationed.


It was learned that to date FNU has dispatched 16 batches of volunteer teachers, or 864 teachers, to teach Chinese in 16 countries.
