The Song of the Parting Son

Poetry has the unique power to connect hearts across the globe. In this featured recitation, Chinese Poetry Ambassador Liu Zhengxi (Mohamed Jihad) from Egypt brings Meng Jiao's timeless masterpiece, "The Song of the Parting Son," to life. Liu Zhengxi shares how this classic poem resonates with his own life experience, specifically recalling his mother's silent dedication as she prepared his luggage for his studies in China. Through his heartfelt words, the universal theme of maternal love shines through cultural boundaries.

This presentation is a highlight of the "ECHOES OF FRIENDSHIP" 2026 Chinese Poetry Recital by International Friends in Beijing. We warmly welcome international friends to participate in this initiative, make friends through poetry, and fall in love with China's rich cultural heritage.
