At a recent gathering at the Shanghai Innovation and Creative Design Institute, more than 10 international professionals from leading universities, research institutions, and foreign enterprises in the city took part in the "Experience Chinese in Hongkou" program. The event provided participants with a unique opportunity for immersion in both the Chinese language and culture.

To share the words and phrases they learned with fellow enthusiasts of Shanghai and Chinese culture, the participants filmed a short video series titled "Let's Speak Chinese", introducing local customs, cuisine, and the city's convenient lifestyle.

In the final episode, Thong Hongheng adds a surprise by teaching the Shanghainese versions of two familiar Chinese words. This special session brings a touch of local flavor to the series and offers a delightful glimpse into Shanghai's unique linguistic heritage.
