Graphic Designer and CSC student Candace Gerard (Chinese name lú kǎidí 卢凯迪) produced a character analysis report on the character 美 (měi), based on her research and observations on a recent CSC immersion trip to Flushing, NYC!
The 33-page report features photos, infographics, an analysis of different Chinese calligraphic styles, and much more. You can download the full report PDF here. Great work, Kǎidí!

CSC and our very own Lǐ Lǎoshī were featured on Shanghai Dragon TV (东方卫视)! Here is a translated introduction:
The Shanghai Dragon TV US Reporting Team spent half a year visiting fifteen US states and dozens of cities, interviewing students, teachers, and advocates of Chinese language and culture of all sectors of society. The result is the three-part documentary “The China Puzzle,” which will broadcast on Febuary 5, 2023, Lantern Festival, as part of Dragon TV’s “Crossover” program.
Here’s a sneak peak. Let us take you to the state of Ohio to meet Li Laoshi of The Columbus School of Chinese. His Chinese is more standard than many Chinese people. He’s an instructor at a training center that specializes in teaching Chinese. Let’s see how he teaches Chinese to Americans!

Join CSC in celebrating this year’s Chinese New Year by participating in our Spring 2022 Virtual Recital!
To participate, upload a video or audio recording of you or your student on social media reciting the New Year Chant below, and tag CSC in your post. As a token of our appreciation (and for some extra new year luck), we will mail each CSC community participant a special 2022 Year of the Tiger Fortune Card!
New Year Chant:
xīnnián dào! xīnnián dào! (The new year is here! The new year is here!)
chuān xīn yī, dài xīn mào! (Wear new clothes, put on a new hat!)
wǒ zhù dàjiā xīnnián hǎo! (I wish everyone a Happy New Year!)
dàjiā zhù wǒ xuéxí hǎo! (Eveyone wishes for me to study well!)
Anyone can join, but fortune cards are available to CSC students and families only. While supplies last. Upload your video before Chinese New Year — February 1, 2021. Don’t forget to tag CSC!
View a PDF of our New Year Chant, which includes Chinese characters, here.
