Cultural Exchanges

On the Wings of
a Song

By staff reporter ZHANG JINGDE

Guangxi people love to sing. During the Guangxi Folk Song Festival, held every autumn, singers from all over the world gather in Nanning, the Green City. They give full play to the lasting charm of folk songs of various ethnic groups and from other countries, and promote world friendship through musical exchanges. Folk songs bridge the traditional and the modern, the East and the West, and celebrate the brilliant civilization of humankind.
