The Chinese Culture Company
Last week Cultural Keys was pleased to welcome Wen Meng Xin from China News to our culture centre! Wen Meng Xin spent the day with us learning about what we do, as well as interviewing our co-founder AJ Donnelly. We also held a free calligraphy and painting class so she could get footage of some typical events.
See some pictures of the event below!

The story Yugong Moves a Mountain (愚公移山 Yúgōng Yíshān) is a classic Chinese tale of perseverance with a moral comparable to the English idiom of “where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

May is the month when spring transitions into summer. Although in the west (northern hemisphere) summer doesn’t begin until the solstice on June 21st, in China summer already began on May 5th with the start of the seventh solar term, Lixia.
At Cultural Keys, we thought we’d look back on spring by sharing some of the beautiful sights we saw with you! Let us know what you think, and be sure to tag us on social media (see below) if you’d like us to share yours!

Last weekend CK was thrilled to trial our new lion dancing workshop with six lucky volunteers. A great time was had by everyone, and we gained a lot of insight into how a class would work. One thing most of us weren’t expecting was how fun – and funny – the workshop would be – we were in stitches! The participants really got into it and proved to be impressive lion dancers.
See some of the photos of the fun below!
