On Saturday November 19, 2016, the BC “Chinese Bridge” Mandarin Singing Contest for University Students was held at UBC. About 60 students from eight post-secondary institutions over BC participated in the contest. Out of the 18 prizes in total, UBC students won 9 of them. Congratulations to all the prize winners and every UBC student who participated in the contest! All of the instructors in the Chinese Language Program are proud of you!
