A video has recently gone viral in Paraguay showing a young man joyfully waving the flag of Taiwan in the streets of the South American country. Even Paraguayan President Santiago Pena shared the post to offer his congratulations. The student was celebrating his acceptance into the Taiwan-Paraguay Polytechnic University, an institution established through bilateral cooperation that is considered a top school in the nation. Interestingly, every share of the post features the same background song. Let’s take a look...

Shouts of excitement echo through the streets. But this isn’t a carnival celebration. It’s a college acceptance party for a young man named Mateo.

Parading through the streets, Mateo excitedly waves Taiwan’s national flag.

The party didn’t just garner extensive coverage from local media. Even Taiwan’s foreign ministry and Paraguay’s President Santiago Peña reshared the post to convey their congratulations. Mateo had just been admitted to the Taiwan-Paraguay Polytechnic University.

Jointly established by the two governments in 2018, the university for science and technology teaches a Taiwanese technical and vocational curriculum in the South American country. It’s equivalent to getting into National Taiwan University. But why does every post have the same background music?

The track holds a hidden message. By the legendary Argentine band Los Auténticos Decadentes, the song is titled A Teddy Bear from Taiwan, or Un osito de peluche de Taiwán. It’s a household tune throughout Latin America.

From the music choice to highlighting academic excellence, this viral celebration shows that the ties of friendship between Taiwan and Paraguay are stronger than ever.
