(2024·菏泽中考改编)A Chinese song contest(比赛)for overseas Chinese was held in London. It was organized by the London Chinatown Chinese Association.
Twenty competitors were divided into three age groups：adults(18－40),juniors(12－17) and children(5－11). The contest awarded one gold,one silver and one bronze prize for each group. The winners will attend the final contest in Beijing this summer.
In a welcome speech,Jiang Lei,consul general of the Chinese Embassy(中国大使馆总领事) in the UK,said the contest is a great platform to show the talents of overseas Chinese and promote(弘扬)traditional Chinese culture. "2024 marks the Year of the Dragon. It's especially meaningful for overseas Chinese to get together and sing Chinese songs. I believe that these young competitors will move from today's small stage to larger ones in the future," she said.
Jacky Zhao,a 15-year-old boy, got a silver prize. "It was my first stage performance here,which I think can help me get used to the life in the UK," he said. Li Siyu,in a traditional Chinese horse-face skirt,performed the song Qingming Shanghe Tu. By mixing classical Chinese dance and Peking opera into her performance,Li successfully showed the beauty of the traditional Chinese culture to the world.
