On 16 December, the Chinese Consulate General in Belfast hosted “Books into School” event in Methodist College Belfast. Consul General Mr. Li Nan attended and gave a lecture on China's national conditions. Principal Mrs. J Lendrum, Vice Principal Mr. A Miller and nearly 200 students participated.

Consul General Li introduced China in a simple and understandable way from multiple dimensions, including geography and population, culture and tradition, people's beliefs, governance concepts, and achievements of Chinese modernization, helping the students gain an explicit and deep understanding of the profound spirit and contemporary value of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, through vivid cases and detailed data. He encouraged the students to actively learn more about China, visit China in person, and contribute youthful strength to the development of China-UK/Northern Ireland relations. 

Principal Lendrum appreciated the Consul General for the long-term support for the school, and would like to deepen educational cooperation and strengthen cultural and people-to-people exchanges. A knowledge quiz on Chinese culture was held, and the atmosphere was lively and engaging.
