Since 2013, the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Toronto has
proudly hosted the annual “Chinese Panda Cup,” now recognized as a flagship event
celebrating the richness of the Chinese language and culture. The 2026 Student
Chinese Speech Competition welcomes elementary and secondary school students
from Ontario and Manitoba to participate. Organized by the Chinese Culture and
Education Society of Canada (CCESC), this year’s competition will be held in a
dynamic hybrid format, offering both online and in-person experiences to enhance
accessibility and participation.
The details of the competition are outlined below:
I. Competition Content
1. Secondary School Group
Grades 9–12, divided into two categories: Canadian-born students and new
immigrants who have lived in Canada for less than 5 years.
Speech Topic: Becoming Chinese
In February 2026, “Becoming Chinese” emerged as a global sensation on major
social media platforms, reflecting the surging popularity of Chinese-style living
worldwide. This trend has not only remodelled daily habits but also sparked
renewed enthusiasm for Chinese language education globally. Today, embracing
a Chinese lifestyle includes riding high-speed rail, watching mesmerizing drone
light shows, receiving traditional tuina massage, donning elegant Hanfu—the
graceful attire of the Han Chinese—and gathering for hot pot meals.
This enthusiasm about Chinese culture is increasingly shaping the daily lives of
people around the world. From trendy toys and specialty tea drinks to the latest
in fashion, film, and television, Chinese elements are forging important crosscultural connections. Unlike in the past, global audiences are now focusing less on iconic symbols like the Great Wall, pandas, and kung fu and more on tangible, relatable aspects of contemporary Chinese life.
The global “Becoming Chinese” phenomenon marks not an endpoint, but a new
beginning for cultural exchange between China and the world. As this two-way
journey continues, more inspiring stories will unfold, with China and other
nations joining hands to build a brighter and more interconnected future.
2. Elementary School Group
Grades 1–8, divided into two categories: Canadian-born students and new
immigrants who have lived in Canada for less than 5 years.
Speech Topic: Chinese Style Is Trending Around the World
This year commemorates the 80th anniversary of Chinese being recognized as an
official language of the United Nations—a testament to its enduring global
significance. As one of the world’s most ancient languages, Chinese has
transcended time and geography, bearing witness to centuries of human progress.
It embodies the Eastern philosophies of “harmony in diversity” and “peaceful
coexistence,” ideals that have underpinned the United Nations’ vision of peace
for over eight decades. Language is the vessel of civilization, and every culture
is a treasured inheritance of humanity—irreplaceable, deserving of reverence,
respect, and preservation.
Today’s China stands as a vibrant, inclusive, and rapidly advancing nation whose
dynamic spirit and unique charm captivate the world. No longer defined solely
by traditional symbols, China’s modern image now encompasses technological
innovation, contemporary trends, and refined lifestyle aesthetics.
From exquisitely crafted home goods and world-leading electric vehicles to
seamless digital payments and intelligent robotics, Chinese ingenuity is making
waves on the international stage. Culturally, blockbuster films like Ne Zha 2,
acclaimed video games such as Black Myth: Wukong, and Labubu pop-culture
collectibles have captured the imagination of audiences worldwide.
In this spirit of creativity and cultural exchange, young participants of heritage
Chinese are invited to craft and deliver an original three-minute speech. This is
an opportunity to showcase Chinese language skills and a personal connection to
Chinese heritage. The speech content must be original.
