On the evening of May 14, the Chinese‑Foreign Art Gala celebrating the university’s 70th anniversary took place in the Student Art Center. Chinese and international students gathered in one place. With art as a bridge, they jointly staged a diverse cultural and artistic feast transcending mountains and seas, and extended their most sincere blessings for the university’s 70th anniversary with youthful spirit.

Students from China, Bangladesh, Russia, Thailand, Yemen, Morocco, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and other countries performed on the same stage. They presented splendid programmes in diverse forms including dance, singing, recitation and martial arts, in which exotic flavours and Chinese charm were perfectly integrated and complemented each other.

They expressed cross‑border friendship and affection, gave full play to the beauty of multicultural integration, and brought the on‑site audience an audio‑visual feast with great appreciation value, profound cultural significance and powerful appeal.
