On November 11, the opening ceremony of the 4th Foreign Language Culture Festival of our university was grandly held. International students from the Caribbean region, together with teachers and students from the Collage of Humanities and Social Sciences, attended the opening ceremony. The event was attended by Huang Xing, Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of International Cooperation and Exchange; Ma Yali, Vice Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences; Lu Huixing, Deputy Director of the Office of International Cooperation and Exchange.

Ayanna, an international student from Barbados, performed the Chinese song Hello Tomorrow . Her clear Chinese pronunciation and beautiful voice won praise from everyone present, and some students even expressed the hope that she would sing a few more songs.

The event site was filled with a lively atmosphere, and the international students were visibly elated and beaming with joy. When Chinese students took the stage to sing, they eagerly joined in from below—singing along to the rhythm, waving their hands and cheering, with some even raising their phones to capture the wonderful moments. The frequent interaction between the stage and the audience vividly demonstrated the harmonious and joyful scene of Chinese and international students getting along well together.

The sachet-making activity during the garden fair attracted many international students to participate enthusiastically. Faced with colorful spices and exquisitely made cloth pouches, the students showed great interest and curiosity, gathering around the booth to carefully select their preferred spice combinations.The small sachets not only allowed them to experience the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture but also brought Chinese and international students closer together. 

The opening ceremony of this year's Foreign Language Culture Festival came to a successful close amid laughter and joy. The international students spoke highly of the event, saying they greatly enjoyed this format that integrates cultural experience with interactive communication. The successful holding of this event not only built a bridge for communication between Chinese and international students but also injected new vitality into the development of a diverse campus culture.
