As the Spring Festival draws near, the festive cheer of the Chinese New Year grows ever stronger in a foreign land. On January 23rd, great news came from the Aode Industrial Park – the park’s dragon and lion dance team stood out with outstanding performance in the program selection and successfully made it onto the performance list of the Spring Festival Gala hosted by the Chinese Enterprises Chamber of Commerce in Angola, ready to take the gala stage and inject a unique vitality of Chinese folk customs into this cross-border Spring Festival celebration.

Dragon and lion dance, a precious treasure of excellent traditional Chinese culture deeply rooted in the blood of every Chinese person, carries the beautiful wishes for good fortune, prosperity, striving for excellence and uniting as one. It is also a cultural symbol that transcends mountains and seas. In this selection, the dragon and lion dance team of the industrial park, with an uplifting spirit and vigorous, vivid movements, fully demonstrated the grand momentum and delicate lingering charm of this traditional folk art. Every leap and every twist showcased their superb skills, which not only won over the on-site judges but also earned high recognition and unanimous praise from the organizers.

This honor bears a dual significance. The team’s successful selection is a full affirmation of the industrial park’s fruitful efforts in advancing cultural development and inheriting the Chinese cultural heritage, and it also vividly reflects the cultural integration and mutual learning between China and Angola, as well as the solidarity of Chinese enterprises in Angola. On this overseas land, we take folk customs as a medium to plant the seeds of excellent traditional Chinese culture and let it take root and flourish, while also building a bridge for Chinese enterprises to walk hand in hand. As the Spring Festival approaches, adhering to the beautiful vision of “Steeds Galloping Forward, Sailing Together for a New Start”, the Aode Industrial Park will continue to take culture as a bond to connect the profound friendship among Chinese enterprises in Angola. May we celebrate the Spring Festival together in joy and laughter, discuss the future side by side, compose a brand-new chapter of win-win cooperation in the new year with a forging-ahead spirit, and let Chinese culture shine more brilliantly in a foreign land!
