STORYLINE:
Cultural performances by artists from southeast China's Fujian Province and stories of Chinese-speaking Americans on learning the language impressed around 100 U.S. students here at an event on Monday.
The opening performance was a dance called "Golden Drums," which featured large drums and parasols.
Artists from Zhangzhou City in Fujian Province presented two musical pieces: "Catching Butterflies While Picking Tea Leaves" and "Hard Workers, True Winner."
Masters of glove puppetry, a traditional art form in Zhangzhou, performed captivating stories from The Water Margin (one of China's most beloved classic novels). The performers demonstrated how to play with the puppets and invited attendees to try for themselves. Students also had the opportunity to taste Chinese tea and appreciate Chinese calligraphy.
Several speakers shared their stories and thoughts on how to master the Chinese language.
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ALEXANDER GIVEN, Senior student at Saint Joseph's University
"Even then as a young child, I knew that I wanted to visit China no matter what. I was determined to see the diverse landscapes, vast cities, and historical landmarks for myself."
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): TEYO AGOYO, Senior student from Friends Select School in Philadelphia
"I think that seeing people that aren't Chinese being able to speak Chinese so well was very encouraging. Seeing an American speaking Chinese so well is encouraging for me because I want to be able to get to that level."
SOUNDBITE 3 (English): JAMES B. HEIMOWITZ, Honorary chair of China Institute in America
"I hope each of you will take the time to create your own journey and your own experiences in China. That's truly what it means to be a part of our future."
