Moreover, the poem “Romantic China with Nationalities” and the song “Me and My Country” sung by all the performers ignited everyone’s passion. They waved the national flags in their hands, extending wishes to the motherland and singing. In the end, all the teachers and the students danced on the melody of folk music.
The event welcomed more than three hundred people including administrators of colleges and students belonging to different minorities. All told how a minority came to Lingnan region, chased his dream and finally made Guangdong their home.
