Lovely Lion Puppets danced to lift the curtain of the Overseas Chinese Student Culture Week in Fu Yuan on March 25. The loud drumbeats attracted a large number of students. TKU’s Originality Cheer Squad’s excellent performance not only won native students’ highly praise but also stupefied the foreign students.

The compatriot students not only prepared the traditional clothes but also perform their youthful senior high school uniforms from Japan, Macao, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. And then students sang their passions with the ballad singing performance. Suddenly Fu Yuan was full of exotic atmosphere.

Indonesia students demonstrated visitors how to play the Indonesia traditional “Bekel” game and set up billboard for visitors to challenge. Everyone played happily.
