Colourful Wind, a series of cultural and artistic events including lectures, theatrical performances and pop-up performances was held by EdUHK, in collaboration with Bauhinia Culture (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited and Minzu University of China, in October 2024.

Its aim was to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Chinese ethnic minority cultures and arts among faculty and students, and promote cultural exchanges between EdUHK and universities in mainland China.

During his speech at the opening ceremony, EdUHK President Professor John Lee Chi-Kin emphasised the significance of such cultural exchange activities in broadening students' horizons and cultivating cultural competence. He then invited the renowned ‘internet celebrity dean’ Jiang Tiehong to the stage, who demonstrated the Mongolian dance ‘Galloping’.

 

The highlight of the event was a performance by students from the Music and Dance Academies of Minzu University, of the Dai dance Water Colour and the Uyghur dance Pomegranate Blossoms, as well as a performance of Hong Kong classic pop songs Laughter in the Vast Sea and Loving You.
