An arts performance commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, staged by the Bureau of Retired Cadres of the CPC Jilin Provincial Committee, was held recently at the Jilin Provincial Activity Center for Retired Cadres of Directly Affiliated Government Organs. A recitation piece, China under the Moonlight, submitted by Office of Retired Faculty and Staff of NENU, was performed at the event and won the Best Performance Award, while the Office itself received the Best Organization Award.
Through the arts, retired teachers of NENU paid tribute to the Long March and to the new era, embodying the vitality of lifelong learning in later life. Taking the stage with evident energy and sincerity, they drew on a cadenced delivery and a poised stage presence to evoke the majesty of the nation’s landscapes and to express their affection for and best wishes to the motherland, reflecting the enduring devotion to home and country and the buoyant spirit of the retired faculty of NENU.
