They wished the two universities a long-lasting friendship and a new chapter of cooperation.

This is the first time our university has invited international artists to hold a violin performance concert. The successful holding of the concert is a important practice of the university's commitment to "educating people with aesthetics and culture", creating "the cultural Shiyuan" and "the opening Shiyuan ". It not only enriches the campus aesthetic education environment, but also further stimulates the intense love of elegant art among teachers and students, and enhances their artistic cultivation.
