KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- Nearly 200 Chinese and foreign participants gathered in Beijing on June 21 for the "Shenzhen Stories" Promotion Event to feel the charm of its traditional culture and learn about Shenzhen's explorations and practices of Chinese modernisation.
The participants included diplomatic envoys from various countries to China, representatives of international organisations in China, and media representatives, according to Shenzhen Municipal People's Government in a statement.
Co-hosted by the Beijing Service Bureau for Diplomatic Missions and the Publicity Department of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee, this promotion event consisted of three parts, namely Dragon Boat Festival cultural experience; "Shenzhen Stories" themed exhibition; and dance drama "Wing Chun".
Activities like making Zongzi, wearing sachets and woven bracelets, and taking photos in traditional costumes enhanced participants' understanding of traditional Chinese culture.
At the promotion event, the exhibition of famous Shenzhen brands told and explained "Shenzhen Stories" in an all-round way, winning great applause from the diplomatic envoys. They claimed Shenzhen is the window of China's reform and opening up, as well as a wonderful epitome of Chinese modernisation.
Furthermore, Chinese and foreign guests watched the Shenzhen-produced dance drama "Wing Chun", which combines two national intangible cultural heritages, "Wing Chun" and gambiered Canton gauze.
It integrates traditional martial arts with contemporary dance, highlights the unique charm of Lingnan culture, and showcases the spirit of Shenzhen in the new era.
The diplomatic envoys gave a thumbs-up to the performance, stating that the dance drama "Wing Chun" was full of Chinese traditional cultural characteristics and told stories about Shenzhen, Guangdong, the Greater Bay Area, and even China via the beauty of dance and martial arts.
