Students from Wujing Experimental Primary School sing the “Rhythm of the 24 Solar Terms”.

Chen Xuan, a student from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of ECNU, performs Kunqu Opera “The Peony Pavilion”.

The event is organized by ECNU and the Wujing Township Government.

Local residents were treated to a magnificent show given by teachers and students from ECNU and WujingExperimentalPrimary School, who performed recitations, Kunqu Opera, chanting, dancing and folk music.

The event was part of a pyramid of cultural activities jointly launched by ECNU and the Wujing government in a drive to build the cultural brand “Cherry Elegant Assembly” for the town.
