“仁者，以天地万物为一体”，中国文化历来讲仁爱、尚和合。由中国人民对外友好协会主办、人民网承办的“汉字缘”2021国际故事大会于5月17日全球同步开赛。和而不同，美美与共，本届大会以“仁”为主题，让我们共赴一场因汉字而结缘的国际交流盛会。

The 2021 "My Story of Chinese Hanzi" international competition, hosted by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) and organized by People's Daily Online, kicks off online around the globe on May 17.

    本届大会分为初赛、复赛、决赛三个阶段，初复赛在线上进行，通过初赛“知识问答”“一分钟视频”和复赛“风采视频”展示及网络投票，综合成绩前10名选手进入决赛。决赛将于8月下旬在线下举行，选手将以“仁”为主题进行7分钟现场讲述，根据现场评委的打分和点评，最终评选出各等次奖项。

The entire competition consists of preliminary rounds, quarter-finals, and finals based on the theme of the Chinese character "Ren" (仁), a character which stands for benevolence and the unity of all things under heaven, a fundamental value long cherished in Chinese culture.

The first two rounds of the competition will be held online. Contestants will answer questions and provide one-minute videos in the preliminary rounds. Second-round contestants will produce videos featuring a virtual talent show. After a tally of votes cast by fans online, the top ten selected winners will move onto the finals, which are slated to be held offline in late August.

Each finalist will deliver a seven-minute speech focusing on the theme of "Ren", with various awards expected to be announced after scoring and judging are carried out by the judges.
