Myanmar Chinese-Language Teachers Tell Their Stories in Baoshan at Overseas Chinese Storytelling Showcase
The 2026 "Telling Our Shared Stories" showcase was held on the evening of October 12 in Baoshan, Yunnan, where Chinese-language teachers from Myanmar took the stage to tell stories of overseas Chinese education and community leaders.
Li Jiarun, a teacher at Guowen Middle School in Lashio, Myanmar, told the story of overseas Chinese leader Liang Jinshan; Feng Xiangmin, a Chinese-language teacher at the Mandalay Yunhua Normal Institute, shared his commitment to Chinese-language education; and Yang Dingqiang, chairman of the Northern Myanmar Chinese Education Federation, joined by video link. The event collected more than 220 works, drew participation from over 60 overseas Chinese schools and associations, and was watched online more than a million times.
Myanmar has one of the longest histories of Chinese-language education overseas, and its Chinese school teachers have long carried the work of passing on the language and culture. This report is based on China News Service coverage of October 13.
