00:23Orchid in Spring.

00:51will consider studying in China for cultural exchanges.
00:56The university's Institute of Music director, Dr. Peng Tin Hua, said while it is important
01:02to embrace new changes, both countries should not stop honouring their roots, which are
01:07the foundation where new creations are built.
01:10He said the concert can become the catalyst for further exploration of traditional Chinese
01:15music.
01:17The concert marked the beginning of the partnership between the university and China Conservatory
01:22of Music.
01:29At the event, both sides also signed a memorandum of understanding on their collaboration for
