A 213-member delegation composed mostly of Xinjiang primary and middle school students took part in the Sorabol ROK-China Youth Cultural Exchange in the Republic of Korea from January 20 to 24 at the invitation of the provincial government of Gyeongsangbuk-do. The delegation was sent by the Xinjiang People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
It was the sixth such activity held by the government of Gyeongsangbuk-do and nearly 500 Chinese primary and middle school students from Xinjiang, Shanghai, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shandong and Liaoning joined in. The 189 students, aged between 7 and 16, on the Xinjiang delegation came from 13 ethnic groups in seven administrative regions and cities. They took part in the knowledge contests, art performances, cultural exchanges and discussions and toured Seoul, Gyeongju, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do, where they visited the Hanok Village, Gyongbokkung, Chongwadae (the Blue House) and the National Assembly Building, and took part in modern technological, cultural and recreational programs. They received a warm welcome from the Korean hosts and students wherever they went and experienced the friendly sentiments of the Korean people for the Chinese people.
During the various cultural activities, the Xinjiang students imparted their knowledge about the history, culture and folk customs of Xinjiang as well as their life and study to the Korean students while learning from them Korean history and culture and how they lived and studied. They exchanged gifts and contact information, and posed for pictures. They could hardly bear to part when time came for them to say goodbye, and expressed the hope to meet again.
By participating in the art performance, the Xinjiang students showed the rich and colorful culture and art of the ethnic groups in their region and demonstrated their talent in singing and dancing. At the knowledge contests, four students won prizes. The delegation harvested the first prize and most number of prizes among the participating delegation.
The visit was an eye-opener for the students on the delegation, most of whom were from remote areas of Xinjiang. It was the first time for them to travel abroad, to take a train and a cruise ship. They were full of curiosity about Korean customs, culture, food, architecture and environment. Through cultural exchanges, visits to places of historical interests and recreational activities, the Xinjiang students saw with their own eyes the courteous and good-mannered Korean people, the clean and harmonious Korean cities and the beautiful environment. They said that the trip broadened their horizons.
