After more than a century since its inception (创始), Esperanto is now spoken by hundreds of thousands --- in fact, probably millions of people all over the world. Today the objective of Esperanto is the same as always: to become the one foreign language everybody studies and learns. The Esperanto flagThe Esperanto flag is composed of a green background with a white square in the upper lefthand corner, which in turn contains a green star. The green field symbolizes hope, the white symbolizes peace and neutrality, and the five-pointed star represents the five continents (Europe, America, Asia, Oceania, Africa). The flag was created by the Esperanto Club of Boulogne-sur-Mer, initially for their own use, but was adopted as the flag of the worldwide Esperanto movement by a decision of the first Universal Congress of Esperanto, which took place in 1905 in that town.Esperanto in ChinaChina's first Esperanto museum was opened ?in Zaozhuang University, Shandong Province, to promote the universal language.
