The school is set to hold its parade on Feb. 22, with the participation of some 350 Chinese people living in Brazil.

Bara shared some of the highlights of the performance, such as inventions from China, from gunpowder and porcelain to 5G technology.

"To talk about China, we will talk about its 5,000 years of history, its dragons and its contribution to the planet. It's not an isolated China. It's a China for the world," Bara said.
