Russian performers celebrate cultural exchange at Sichuan International Studies University

Chongqing's Sichuan International Studies University hosted a collection of Russian performers on Friday in celebration of China-Russia Years of Education, which runs through 2027.

Russian artists from seven art studios, dance troupes, and vocal ensembles joined students and teachers from Chongqing for an exciting cultural exchange. The highlight was a performance that brought both sides together for a dazzling display of song and dance, Peking Opera, musical theater, traditional Chinese clapper talk, fashion shows, and small instrumental ensembles.

During a speech, Gou Chaoli, deputy Party secretary of SISU, hailed the event as perfectly embodying the message of China-Russia Years of Education. "(The performance) provides a dynamic stage for our students to use art as a medium and culture as a bridge, showcasing the spirit of the youth in the new era and expressing the heartfelt friendship between China and Russia," Gou said.
