On November 27, overseas students from over ten countries all over the world gathered in the hall of St.
Petersburg State Polytechnic University, attending the Overseas Students in Russia Talent Show held there.
Eight overseas undergraduates from
students from universities home and abroad and Russian students showed their talent. The wonderful
performance of ZJUers won prolonged applause. They impressed Russian professors and students and
overseas students from other countries with the glamour of Chinese multiculturalism and the excellent
achievements of the comprehensive quality-oriented education carried out by SIS, ZJU. The talent show
proved to be a big success.
Subsidized by the National Scholarship offered by the Education Department and Birchwoods Fund, SIS,
the 8 students went on a Government-sponsored exchange to
September. They spent a whole month creating and rehearsing to constantly improve their performance.
They sang Chinese and Russian classical songs. Beautiful male & female duet, resonant male chorus and
modern dancing provided the audience with a feast both for the ears and the eyes. It is refreshing that
the students brought greetings from
dancing to the audience.
After the show, a leader from
students: “What a wonderful show! Not only are you good at singing and dancing, but you are skillful in
playing various musical instruments. This is the first time that I see Chinese students singing Chinese and
Russian songs in Russian with modern dances with great difficulties. We have found the leading quality of
Chinese university students from your performance.
