‘14 Years Ago’ – Chinese Language Added to Accordions Worldwide - Chinaby Rob Howard |
  In 1998 Accordions Worldwide expanded its readership considerably by introducing the Weekly News in Chinese language. The Accordions Worldwide news for September 4th 1998 included a report about this momentous development written by Li Cong, who is today, the President of the China Accordion Association. This was also the start of the Chinese language news site at www.accordions.com/china Over the last 14 years, this has now grown into an enormous website covering the huge variety of accordion activities in China. It has been estimated that in China, there are 30 million active accordionists, certainly a significant percentage of the worlds accordionists, and many of whom, read this Weekly News in Chinese and also read the Chinese accordion news site. CHINESE ACCORDIONISTS PROPOSE TOAST Contributed by Li Cong Chinese accordionists can now read the Weekly Accordion News in the Chinese language. Li Cong said recently, "Let's propose a toast for the start of Accordions Worldwide in China! To build a new site is not the hardest part of the job. The really difficult part is to make it better and better, now more Chinese accordionists can read the news. The great significance of this happening has already exceeded more than any one accordionist could normally hope to do. I am proud of this achievement and extend gratefully the thanks of all Chinese accordionists. We have a saying in China: A good start is a one half of success. Let's work hard for the other part!" |
