In short, this cultural evening will be a large-scale concert jointly performed by Chinese associations and other ethnic groups and artists. It will also be a grand ceremony for local ethnic groups to gather and celebrate together. We believe that through this event, we can not only showcase our Chinese classic music works, noble musical and artistic abilities and accomplishments, but also commend Chinese Americans for their appreciation and respect for American culture. At the same time, it also declares to the world once again that we Chinese love peace, advocate friendship, and insist on unity. This is of great significance to improving the image and influence of the Chinese people and strengthening the exchanges and friendship between the Chinese people and various ethnic groups. Let us join hands and work together to make this event a complete success.
