In the International Salon of Rural Revitalization, the students talked about their understanding of China's rural construction.

A student from Russia called KUZNETSOVA ALEKSANDRA said: "If you want to really understand China, you should first explore China's rural areas and know Chinese farmers. I am very grateful to our university for providing us with the opportunity to visit Chinese village. In this village, I saw the outstanding achievements of the construction of beautiful villages in China. I think integrating art into rural construction is a very great idea, which reflects the great importance China attaches to the inheritance of traditional culture, and is worth learning for my country."
