FHSS postgraduate student of Cultural Industries Management claims highest recognition in top national recitation competition
Postgraduate student Li Xinyu, the 2020 batch student of Master of Cultural Industries Management of Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS) from the City University of Macau (CityU Macau), teamed up with a student from Macau University of Sciences and Technology to participate in the 23rd Qi Yue Recitation Arts Festival and National College Students Recitation Conference. Under the guidance of Associate Professor Xiao Daibo, Li’s team with their performance won “First Show Special Award” and “Outstanding Organisation Award”.
Qi Yue Recitation Arts Festival and National College Students Recitation Conference, also known as Qi Yue Festival, was organised by the Communication University of China, and directed by the Ministry of Education and the National Language Commission of the People’s Republic of China. The nationwide competition was the highest-level event for the art of recitation.
The competition drew 315 universities from 33 provincial administrative regions submitted 762 Chinese-language recitation performances.
Student Li Xinyu said Qi Yue Festival is a dream for all broadcasting students, which has also been deeply rooted in his heart for a long time. Li said he was very grateful to be among the awardees of the competition from 2018 to 2021. The work (Chinese:《碧海基石》 ) performed by Li's team tells an inspiring story about the construction and development of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge. The recitation performance was also dedicated to the chief engineer of the bridge Lin Ming for his endeavour.
Li said he was honoured to receive a special award for his first performance at this year’s competition. Li will soon graduate from the master’s degree programme offered by CityU Macau. “I will never forget why I started and will always stay true to myself,” Li said and expressed his gratitude to his teachers in FHSS for their generous support and assistance.
