（Greece-China TV/Radio报道）
In July, 2017, University of International Business and Economics in China launched a community immersion campaign in terms of the Belt and Road policy. All the teams set out one after another, going along the Belt and Road for research.
A team called Happy Nine among them devoted to promoting the cross-cultural communication between Greece and China. Happy Nine decided to visit Shanghai in order to do research on what Greek people think of Chinese culture, as well as to promote traditional Chinese music culture.
Before the departure to Shanghai, Happy Nine contacted some Greek students studying in Beijing for a pre-interview.
Costas is a Greek student who has been in China for 16 months. He came with his friend Andrew for the interview. After listening to the classic piece of Chinese music-- Surrounded on All Sides, they were asked by the journalist, “Will you be fond of this kind of music?””No. I have my own taste in music. It’s not my cup of tea.” Andrew said decisively. Costas replied, “Actually I would be interested in going to see that performance once. Then I’ll decide if I like it and want to see more of it.” Then they illustrated the differences between Greek music and Chinese music from their point of view, “Everything is different. The differences come from the diverse way of thinking, the different understanding of having fun. For example, KTV in Greece is not so popular. It is not popular at all. Our music is more often used to celebrate. For us, the way of having fun is going out to a night club, dancing with bazooka, listening to live music from the well-known artist.”
Another Greek student Elena was born of Greek-China parentage. She seems more likely to appreciate Chinese music than Costas and Andrew. She said, “The music you played has its own feature. It owns a particular power.” In terms of the understanding of Chinese music, she replied, “I think one should know all aspects when coming to a new country. So I have listened to Chinese music since I came here, such as Guzheng (a traditional Chinese instrument). I actually enjoy all kinds of music played by Chinese instruments with strings.” She also talked about Greek music culture, “Greece is located near the Mediterranean Sea. The historical issues have a huge impact on Greek culture, so that the music culture was influenced by surrounding countries. I would like to describe Greek music as a wonderful mixture in music style.”
Each interview last about half an hour. The Greek students invited were enthusiastic and talkative. They were all able to tell the style of Chinese music quickly. Their understanding of Greek and Chinese music provided academic value for the Happy Nine.
