Beijing, November 13 (Xinhua) — From November 10-11, the Russian Cultural Center (RCC) in Beijing hosted a series of cultural and historical programs dedicated to the development of the history of Russian emigration. These programs were part of a series of cultural and educational events titled "China-Russia: Common Cultural Heritage," timed to coincide with the 2024-2025 China-Russia Years of Culture. This was announced on the RCC's official WeChat account.

Tatyana Urzhumtseva, head of the Russian Catholic Church in Beijing, emphasized the importance of organizing such events as a tool for further strengthening cultural and humanitarian ties, including with the Russian diaspora living and working in China.

The event's guests were also greeted by Elena Chernyshkova, Executive Director of the Russian Diaspora Heritage Foundation.

As part of this event, a photo documentary exhibition, "Along Russian Addresses in China," was organized, dedicated to the most significant Russian addresses in the cities of Harbin and Shanghai. It explored the multifaceted life of the Russian diaspora in the first half of the 20th century in these two "emigrant cities" in the East.

The event also featured a screening of the documentary film “Remembering Russian Harbin,” which is based on monologues by Russians who lived in Harbin and presents a mosaic history of the city from its founding in the late 19th century to the 1950s.

As a continuation of the series of events, a concert entitled "Russian Jazz from China" took place on November 11. The audience heard music performed in the 1920s and 1930s at the finest venues in the Chinese cities of Harbin, Shanghai, Beijing, and Qingdao. The concert performances were accompanied by stories from the history of Russian jazz in China.

The events were organized jointly by the RCC in Beijing and the Heritage Foundation of the Russian Diaspora. -0-

This is the 1,033rd such train to depart from the port since the beginning of 2025.

According to the Hebei Daily newspaper, Shijiazhuang International Land Port has thus become the first hub platform in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region for servicing China-Europe trains, with more than 1,000 corresponding trains traveling in both directions this year.

The heavy-duty trains operated efficiently in both directions.

According to Liu Jinpeng, Director General of Shijiazhuang International Land Port, the 18 international shipping lanes opened here cover the main sources of goods supply in Asia and Europe.

Outbound trains mainly carry high-value-added goods such as auto parts, machinery and photovoltaic modules, while inbound trains carry indigenous raw materials including wheat flour, sheet material and zinc ingots, effectively promoting trade and economic exchanges and industrial complementarity among countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, he added.
