ANKARA Cheap Paulo Gazzaniga Jersey , May 24 (Xinhua) -- The 14th "Chinese bridge" Chinese proficiency competition for Turkish university students opened in Middle East Technology University here on Saturday.

"My Chinese dream," which is the topic of the contest, attracted 25 students, who have past the writing test in the morning, to give their own story about their connection with Chinese language and culture.

"The world is so big, I want to go to china and have a look," the sentence which is quite popular on Chinese web Cheap Pau Lopez Jersey , was used in Arad's speech about why he chose to learn Chinese.

Dance of Little Apple, the most popular song in China in 2014, and the drunken beauty of leading Chinese opera performer Li Yugang, among other famous Chinese songs and dances, were included in the performance list of the competitors.

The show of famous poetry "To the Oak Tree" written by Chinese poet Shu Ting helped Gullu from sinology department of Ankara University to win the first runner-up and gain a chance to go to China, a dream she has been trying to fulfill for a long time. "I love Chinese poem and songs and I wish to go to China to get my master degree," Gullu said.

Zeynep Cheap Nabil Bentaleb Jersey , the girl who won the ticket to the world "Chinese Bridge" competition host annually by Hanban in Beijing, was very excited after the contest. "I am fascinated by Chinese culture and I could even touch the pulse of this dragon. Now I have a chance to improve my Chinese by communicate and compete with the students from other countries in China. What a dream come true!" she said.

Wu Changqing, the headmaster of Confucius institute in Middle East Technology University which held this year's "Chinese bridge" competition together with the Chinese embassy to Turkey, said that "The quality of the competition is higher than last year because it is harder to choose better students through writing test and speech competition. The number of Turkish students interested in studying Chinese is increasing these years which force the competitors to learn harder to win the champion."

"'Chinese bridge' is not only a contest among Turkish students but also an important pillar of the bridge of social, cultural and economical relationship between Turkey and China, which will definitely benefit Chinese and Turkish people," said Yu Hongyang Cheap Moussa Sissoko Jersey , the Chinese ambassador to Turkey.

Ever since Yu Xiuhua, a farmer and poet with cerebral palsy, published her daring poem Travelling More Than Half of China to Sleep with You last November and had it forwarded by Poetry Periodical in WeChat, she has travelled a bumpy road to fame.

Dozens of journalists have swarmed to her village in Hubei Province to interview her in the hope of finding out how a woman from the countryside was able to shake up the world of poetry in such a short span of time.

Since shooting to fame, she was able to publish her first book of poetry last week after 16 years of writing, before she was appointed by local authorities as deputy chairman of Federation of Literary and Art Circles at Zhongxiang city. She has been hailed by the media as China's Emily Dickinson. Some are astonished by her amazing ability to craft words, some have raised doubts about her creativity Cheap Mousa Dembele Jersey , while others are curious about how overnight fame has changed her life.

While her journey has been incredibly dramatic, Yu herself seems fairly indifferent to it.

"I feel nothing has really changed much," Yu told the Global Times, speaking in her usual low, indistinct voice. She bluntly requested not to talk about her personal life, but when she starts to talk about poetry, one can hear the excitement in her voice.

While the media portray her as "China's Emily Dickinson Cheap Michel Vorm Jersey ," her most widely distributed poem on WeChat shows something quite different. "There is virtually no difference between me to sleep with youAnd you sleeping with meIt's no more than a collision of two bodiesComposing a force under which the flowers blossom." It could be a combination of both Chinese poet Hai Zi and American singer-song writer Janis Joplin.

"Poetry writing, whatever you write about, needs constant practice. Nobody was born to be a poet. Poets write until a moment when words come out naturally," Yu said.

Words burst from the body

"For 38 years, this body has undermined me, we have leaned on each other, hated each other Cheap Kyle Walker-Peters Jersey ," she wrote in her blog.

She walks clumsily and talks haltingly. Yet she is keen on the physicality of language. Unlike the sentimentality and melodramatic softness of many established poets, the words Yu uses are brutal, free, vivid, angry and violent. Writing poetry is a natural physical impulse for her. She writes of body, of marriage, of sex Cheap Kyle Walker Jersey , of the soul.

More than 30 years of sickness has forced her to face a crippled body and stuttering tongue, but during her interview with the Global Times, she showed a sense of humor and optimism. " I believe what I am writing about is the truth from me. I'm trying to let it out."

For her, writing is not just a mental exercise, it is also an absolutely physical experience.

"Her poems, among contemporary Chinese poems, is like putting a murderer among a group of respectable ladies - everybody else wears fancy clothes Cheap Kieran Trippier Jersey , puts on make-up and perfume, and readers can't see a single bead of sweat. Only she is desperately struggling. Her words are obviously bloodstained," said Liu Nian, an editor in China's most eminent poetry magazine, Poetry Periodical.

The village of Hengdian, Hubei Province, where she was born in 1976 Cheap Kevin Wimmer Jersey , is an image that constantly appears in her poems. "This damned place" is how she frequently describes this village. "Who can tolerate such a fate! In such a place, in this kind of life, you want to fly, .
