In his speech, Rector Jun Liu emphasized that the festival is not only an extension of classroom teaching but also an important platform for students and faculty to showcase creativity, exchange and pass on culture. He noted that this’s year festival, themed “Intangible Cultural Heritage”, offers a series of immersive and interactive activities that allow students to appreciate the profound foundations of Chinese traditional culture, stimulate their potential, and build friendships, bringing in youthful vitality into the campus.
At the opening ceremony, students presented a cultural arts feast that transcends cultures. From the melodious and lingering Persian music to the lively bamboo flute performance; from the delicate and warm Cantonese classics to the classic medley that sparked a sing-along throughout the venue, the pulse of youth resonated in harmony with the beautiful melodies. The energetic pop dance ignited audience interaction, while anime-inspired dance moves brought the vibrant world of the ACGN (animation, comic, game and novel) to life. Additionally, the hilarious crosstalk performance showcased the students’ exceptional talents. Their brilliant performances highlighted the unique charm of multiculturalism, and the venue was filled with continuous applause.
