A Chinese cultural week in Vietnam lifted curtains in Hanoi
Wednesday to reveal the beauty of Chinese arts, photography and
film, contributing to enhancing the friendly and cooperative ties
between the two countries.
The cultural week with the participation of visiting officials
and artists from China's Heilongjiang Province is part of cultural
exchange and cooperation programs between the two nations,
Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Culture and Information Le Tien Tho
said before an art performance which ignited the week.
The Heilongjiang art troupe offered audience in Hanoi capital
fine songs, compositions and dances which sketched the rich
spiritual and material life of Chinese people. The performances
surprised the audience by spectacular dances like "walking on
stilts" dance, and sweet melodies vibrating from traditional
musical instruments such as Chinese violin, zither and flute.
The art troupe will tour northern Hai Phong City on February 18.
Other cultural activities, including a film show, a photo
exhibition, and a picture book issuance are to take place in Hanoi
during the week.
