BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) — The "Dalian Lights 2025" international art competition show was recently held at the Dalian Youth Palace Theater. Young people from China and Russia gathered in Dalian, northeast China's Liaoning Province, to perform a variety of dance, instrumental music, and choral performances, creating a magnificent symphony of Chinese-Russian cultural exchange.

According to the Dalian Daily, the event began with warm greetings in Chinese and Russian. Thirty-one performances took to the stage, including folk dances, instrumental compositions, and choral singing. The fiery rhythm of the classical Lezginka energized the audience, while the graceful choreography of Chinese dances showcased the unique charm of Chinese culture.

Music and song became a bridge across the language barrier. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of the children's accordion ensemble of the Dalian Youth Palace, featuring "Kalinka" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," which skillfully combined Russian flavor with a spirit of adventure. Both compositions were met with thunderous applause. The children's choir of the Dalian Youth Palace performed "Katyusha," conveying the feeling of friendship between the peoples of China and Russia.

The show was not only a competition of skill but also a profound cultural dialogue. The most touching part of the event was the exchange of gifts between Chinese and Russian children. Holding specially prepared souvenirs, the children from the two countries met in the center of the hall, embraced, and exchanged sincere smiles and gifts, vividly demonstrating the profound meaning of "bringing peoples together."

This event not only showcased the artistic talents of the youth of China and Russia, but also deepened mutual understanding and friendly ties between the younger generations of the two countries. -0-
