On January 16th, Huzhou University International School held a New Year's Celebration Event aimed at allowing international students from all over the world to deeply experience the charm of traditional Chinese festivals and find a sense of belonging in foreign lands.
At the beginning of the event, it was filled with the enthusiasm of international students. Under the guidance of the hosts SOUHAIL BERRAD and GOBVU MOREBLESING, a series of exciting performances were performed one after another: energetic dances, pleasant and melodious singing, and skilled instrument playing, all of which demonstrated the love and respect of international students for Chinese culture, winning warm applause from the audience and pushing the atmosphere to climax time and time again.
In addition to the exciting performances on stage, interactive games such as snack battles, shuttlecock flying, and one circle to the end are also fascinating. The international school has prepared traditional gifts rich in beautiful meanings for participants in each round of the game, including scallions symbolizing the pinnacle of green onions, broccoli symbolizing good things blooming, and cucumbers representing the melon eyes. These gifts are not only material rewards, but also convey the wisdom and expectations of traditional Chinese culture. The most exciting part of it is the lucky draw. When bags of New Year's money are placed in the hands of international students, it not only conveys joy, but also good wishes for younger generations in Chinese culture.
This New Year's Celebration Event not only deepened international students' understanding of traditional Chinese festivals, but also provided them with a platform to explore and appreciate the profound cultural heritage of China.
