More than 8,000 Macao residents have passed a written test designed to popularize knowledge about Chinese culture since it was launched five years ago, the organizers said on Sunday.

A top official in charge of the cultural identity campaign said that for next year the organizing committee will begin accepting applications in April and the exams will be held in May.

In addition to written tests, the organizers also hold contests to encourage people to learn more about their national culture.
