In the early morning of October 1, the sky was slightly bright and the red flag was rolling. On the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a group of 17 representatives of international students and teachers of Beijing Dance Academy gathered in Tiananmen Square with great excitement and reverence, and participated in the 2025 National Day Tiananmen Square flag-raising ceremony with people from all walks of life in the capital.
In the morning light, the international students looked focused and solemn. When the majestic "March of the Volunteers" played, the bright five-star red flag unfolded in the wind and slowly climbed, their eyes closely followed the beating bright red, and their eyes flashed with emotion and admiration.
As the highest institution of Chinese dance education, Beijing Dance Academy has always been committed to promoting Chinese culture to the world and building a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. The organization of international teachers and students to participate in the National Day flag-raising ceremony is not only a vivid practice of China's national conditions, but also a cultural transmission and emotional communication, so that international students can have a deeper understanding of the real China, enhance their understanding and friendship with the Chinese people, and show a credible, lovely and respectable image of China. The leading teacher sighed: "Art has no borders, and emotions can resonate. It is hoped that international students will not only learn the top dance skills here, but also understand China, understand the emotions and beliefs of the people in this land, and become Chinese storytellers, propagandists of Chinese images and disseminators of Chinese civilization in the future. Today, they beat with hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and this common emotional memory will become the most precious nutrient in their future artistic creation, and it is also the most tenacious bond connecting them to China. ”
After the ceremony, the teachers and students still did not want to leave for a long time, and they took a group photo under the national flag to record this unforgettable moment. They have said that they will transform this emotion and shock into a driving force for learning and creation, and in the future, they will tell Chinese stories with beautiful dance postures to convey peace and friendship.
This National Day flag-raising ceremony is a microcosm of the international talent training of Beijing Dance Academy. It shows the college's unremitting efforts in cultivating international artistic talents from Zhihua and Youhua, and also reflects China's open, confident and inclusive international image in the new era. Dance students from all over the world are participating in and witnessing China's prosperity and development with their unique perspectives and sincere emotions, and they work with the Chinese people to look forward to a more brilliant tomorrow for the Chinese nation.
Seventy-six years of ups and downs, seventy-six years of spring and autumn. In the morning light of Beijing's golden autumn, this group of international young students used their attention to present an affectionate blessing across mountains and seas for the 76th birthday of New China.
