He hoped that the two sides would continue to organize more exchange and cooperation projects involving teachers and students, so that the flowers of Sino-US friendship would bloom on the land of China and the United States.
President Zhong Yinghua pointed out at the opening ceremony on behalf of the Chinese side that the University of Wyoming is one of the closest international exchange partners of Tianjin Normal University, and the exchanges and cooperation between the two universities in the past ten years have yielded fruitful results. We have explored new models of Chinese cultural experience activities in the world epidemic, and expanded new ideas and new paths in online Chinese learning and cultural exchanges. I hope that through friendly and equal exchanges between the two sides, we will further deepen the understanding and mutual trust between the peoples of China and the United States, and further promote the expansion of cooperation space between the two universities in talent training, academic exchanges, and scientific research.
"Art and Design" is one of the key exchange projects between the two universities, and the representatives of teachers and students from the School of Fine Arts and Design of Tianjin Normal University exhibited their paintings and design works online to show the charm of China's excellent traditional culture. As a special guest of cooperation and exchange between China and the United States, ms. Chang Meijuan, a famous painter, introduced her Chinese painting series "Jin Yun Liufang" to teachers, students and residents of the University of Wyoming online. Drawing on the expression of Klimt, the leader of the Viennese School, she used the language of Chinese brushwork and freehand painting to tell american friends the Chinese story of what happened on the land of the Three Jins, showing the popular Chinese symbols on the land of the Three Jins, which was warmly welcomed by the teachers and students of the University of Wyoming and the residents of the community.
