On September 30, the CWI Children’s Palace Little Champion Art Troupe gave their special performance with the theme “Delivering Friendship by Children’s Heart and Dreams” at He Bozhao Theatre in Toronto, Canada. With bright smile, exquisite skills and sincere feelings, these children presented Canadian people a comprehensive performance with rich characteristics of the nation and times, including dances, solos, folk music, western music, paper-cut, and calligraphy and many other artistic forms. The performance fully demonstrated the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture, and highlighted the good spiritual and artistic quality of Shanghai teenagers. Ms. Sai Jingjing, Cultural Consul of the Consulate General of China in Toronto, Mr. Gao Rudong, Chairman of the Chinese and Canadian Cultural Development Association, Mr. Ji Hongxing, Deputy Party Secretary of China Welfare Institute and other leaders and guests attended and watched the performance.
The performance started with a classic Chinese work Jasmine. The children danced on the stage accompanied with fresh and beautiful music like jasmines blooming. Then, the folk music actor Zhang Siyi played the song Spring to Xiangjiang River of distinct Hunan flower-drum music features with Guzheng, a Chinese folk instrument. Smooth and elegant and sometime as passionate as fire, the melody won bursts of applause.
The Little Champion Art Troupe presented various programs with Chinese traditional characteristics throughout the performance, such as the dance Qiao Hua Dan with elements of traditional Chinese opera, folk music, calligraphy and paper-cut performance Jiangnan Charms, folk dance Girls and Rain of Dai Minority, and classic section of Peking Opera Divergence and so on, unfolding broad and profound Chinese traditional culture to the audience. With a unique Chinese music trio, Cui Shuning, a very young calligrapher, wrote down the two characters of “Tong Yuan” (children’s bond) with brush, implying the long-standing relationship between the children in two nations. He Xinyan cut out two lovely magpies with her smart hands, meaning "happy encounter", and kindly invited Canadian children to Shanghai and looked forward to meeting them again by the beautiful Huangpu River. Performance concluded with the gorgeous dance Chinese Style. At that time, the audience all stood up and applauded warmly for the actors for a long time with the rhythm of the music.
The Little Champion has spread Chinese culture through arts and delivered the sincerity, love and friendship of the Chinese nation through the unique way of “children diplomacy.” |
