China holds the world’s largest population while Chinese language possesses a prominent place among the languages in the world. Apart from China, nowadays, Chinese language is being used in many countries. Although Chinese economy has been placed second in statistics, it is a well-known fact that it is the World’s largest economy at present. Furthermore, Chinese culture which is truly unique in many aspects cannot be compared to another culture in the world. As the Chinese language is entirely based on symbols, it can be considered as a language which holds a culture within it, rather than a language which fans out as a branch of the culture itself.
It is vital for the students of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura to be given an opportunity to learn Chinese language as it rapidly spreads due to China’s powerful economy. Furthermor,e the number of Chinese people, who arrive in Sri Lanka for economic and tourist purposes is increasing and most importantly at present Sri Lankan students are being offered Chinese scholarships for post-graduate studies in Medicine, Management studies, Science, Arts, Social Sciences and many more subjects, where it is compulsory for the graduates to study Chinese language prior to their post-graduate studies.
