The event， which had Nigerian government officials in attendance， was part of this year's graduation ceremony held for Chinese language students by the China Cultural Center in Nigeria's capital city.

The competition was open to all graduands， including participants of other nationalities who took part in the training at the China Cultural Center. Six winners from two categories emerged after the speech contest.

spiced up the event.

In his opening remark， Yan Xiangdong， Chinese cultural counselor to Nigeria who was also director of the center， commended the graduands for respectively taking various levels of Chinese language training to determine their proficiency.

"I must say here that your decision to learn and acquire Chinese language is not only timely but also a step in the right direction toward attaining global heights just as the Chinese economy has attained global recognition，" he said， urging the graduating students to continue to develop on the various levels attained.

In an interview， You Baoming， a deputy director at the center， told Xinhua the Chinese speech contest was first introduced last year not to identify the best among the participants but rather targeted at identifying areas where the graduating students will need to pay more attention in the language training.

HEGANG adidas prophere suomi , Heilongjiang Province, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Six workers were rescued Monday morning after being trapped for more than six days in a flooded coal mine in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, local authorities said.

The six were lifted to the ground at about 5:30 a.m., said the emergency rescue headquarters at Xuxiang Colliery in Hegang City. Flood water inundated the pit at around 5 p.m. on July 20, trapping 15 miners.

Four have been confirmed dead so far adidas iniki runner suomi , and rescuers are racing to find another five workers who have been trapped in the pit for a week.

The six rescued workers are in stable condition and have no major injuries, said Wang Falun, vice president of the Hegang People's Hospital.

However, the workers' feet were submerged in cold water for days and will require four to five days to recover, said Wang.

Investigators said the flood was the result of heavy rain.

Wu Chuanyong adidas nmd racer suomi , 49, was one of the six lucky miners rescued.

"We suddenly heard a big boom and then a large amount of silt and water poured in from the upper part of the shaft," said Wu.

Mud flows up to 50 cm deep immediately buried all the tools in the mine, according to Wu, who is still weak and receiving treatment at the hospital.

"We had difficulty breathing as the ventilation exit was also totally blocked by debris when the flooding occurred adidas pharrell williams hu suomi ," said Wu. He and the other five dug at the debris by hand to let air in from a ventilation pipe that was still working.

Shortly after the accident, they managed to let air in and started planning their survival.

The hungry miners each took a small drink of water from the bucket they carried when entering the mine, and they only used one of their safety headlamps in order to save electricity.

They felt hope four days later, when they heard a knocking sound from the rescue drill. Soon after that, they received milk through the drill stem.

Some of the workers became depressed and started to act abnormally as time passed. One miner talked nonsense adidas ultra boost 3.0 suomi , and another took off his trousers and shoes to move around. A third even considered leaving a note in case he died.

Wu said he encouraged them and assured them they would be rescued.

They finally saw their rescuers on Monday.

"When we first saw them, they had not recovered from their fear and nervousness. But after intervention by psychologists, they gradually calmed down," said Dr. Wang.

Hegang is a major site for coal production in Heilongjiang. Xuxiang Colliery is privately owned, with an annual output of 150 adidas ultra boost uncaged suomi ,000 tonnes.

Coal mine safety in China has improved in the past two years, according to an official from the State Coal Mine Safety Administration in March.

In a mass rescue miracle, 115 miners were rescued alive in April 2010 after an eight-day ordeal in the flooded Wangjialing mine in Shanxi Province. A total of 38 miners were killed in the accident.

Some of the rescued workers survived by eating pine bark and drinking the murky underground water, while others ate wrapping paper from detonators and cotton from their clothes.

CARACAS, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela's regional vote on Sunday to elect state governors and legislators would "consolidate the environment of peace adidas ultra boost suomi ," said a leader of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela.

At a press conference on Sunday, Jorge Rodriguez, mayor of the capital city Caracas, called the elections an "expression of sovereignty" by the voters.

"The peace which the National Constituent Assembly (ANC) has brought is being consolidated today," he said adidas tubular radial suomi , after offering an evaluation of the day's elections alongside ANC president Delcy Rodriguez.

On Sunday, over 18 million Venezuelans were called upon to vote for 197 candidates running for the country's 23 governorships.

The regional elections were first postponed due to the country's economic crisis and political conflicts, then scheduled for Dec. 10, until the newly-elected ANC tasked to rewrite the constitution agreed to move up the vote to Oct. 15.

As the former head of Venezuela's electoral body, the National Electoral Council adidas tubular suomi , Jorge Rodriguez said Venezuela "is one of the few countries in the world to give results in real time."
