The International version of "The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping," a multilingual TV program featuring Chinese President Xi Jinping's quotes from ancient Chinese classics in his speeches and articles, began airing on Serbian media outlets on Tuesday.

A launch ceremony for the program, produced by China's flagship broadcaster China Media Group (CMG), was held in Belgrade on Tuesday, to coincide with Xi's state visit to Serbia.

At the invitation of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Xi is paying a state visit to Serbia, eight years after his last visit to the country.

Serbia is the second stop of Xi's three-country European tour from May 5 to 10, which also includes France and Hungary.

Shen Haixiong, vice minister of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and president of CMG, and Dragan Bujosevic, director of Serbian National Radio and Television, attended the ceremony.

President Vucic delivered a video message to the event and congratulated the producers on the broadcast of the program in Serbia.

Vucic warmly welcomed President Xi's visit to Serbia. He expressed his gratitude to CMG for its great efforts in promoting Serbia-China friendship. Serbia warmly welcomes CMG activities in the country and looks forward to strengthening exchanges in various ways in the future, to bring Serbia-China friendship to a new level, he said.

In his speech, Shen said that he believed that the premiere of the program in Serbia can open a window of thought for Serbian people to understand President Xi's wisdom in governance and understand Chinese culture, thereby helping them understand the unique charm of China in the new era.

The program carefully selects famous quotes from ancient Chinese classics that Xi has used in his important speeches, articles and remarks. Focusing on themes including green development, ecological civilization, legal construction, common prosperity and protection of cultural heritages, the program vividly presents Xi's political wisdom and rich knowledge of history and traditional Chinese culture.

The program and its promotional video have been aired by other media outlets across Europe and around the world, including the pan-European news channel Euronews and France’s BFM Business.

A fifth grader in Shaoxing City, east China's Zhejiang Province, has been praised by the school for her acts of saving a classmate from choking via the Heimlich maneuver.

Security camera video recorded on May 8 shows that Li Lexin, a student with the Qingfangcheng No. 2 Primary School, is walking home with her two classmates and finds out that one of the classmates suddenly begins struggling in breathing. He is later found to be chocked by an ice cube.

"I realized he was choking, and I was a little bit in panic. But the Heimlich rescue approach soon popped up in my mind. And I quickly took his backpack off, used the Heimlich maneuver, and after two compressions, he spit out the ice cube stuck in his throat," Li said.

Thanks to regular first-aid trainings carried out at Li's school, Li saved the classmate from the dangerous situation in just six seconds.

"When it comes to student safety education, in addition to the regular '11530' safety education reminder and the monthly emergency drill, we will, on other occasions of safety education, routinely teach the students safety knowledge and provide them with safety skills training," said Xu Xudong, principal of the Qingfangcheng No. 2 Primary School.

The "11530" safety education reminder refers to one-minute safety reminder told by parents to their children before school, one-minute safety education carried out by teachers for their students after classes, five-minute morning talks carried out by teachers with their students on weekends, and 30-minute safety education course for students before each major holiday or on each safety education day.
