The 18th Selection Completion of Family of Tea People successfully kicked off at China National Tea Museum on October 17. At this spectacular event of the 11th China Tea Wonderful Game, CJLU international students presented a performance titled "The Russian-style Tea". The vivid show uniquely interpreted the culture, entirely depicted the tea setting, and eventually stood out of competitors. The bridge of tea culture exchanges between China and the world was erected in a cup of Russian black tea.

In this immersive performance, the traditional culture of Russian tea centered on "Samovar"-the iconic Russian tea, and truly conveyed the traditional Russian tea-drinking custom. While demonstrating tea-making, each performer in distinctive Russian apparels explained processes in Chinese, elaborated the history about the spread of tea from the oriental world to Russia, elucidated the significance in warmth of tea to the family culture in Russia, and emitted hospitality embedded in the Russian tea ceremony.

At this competition, the dialogue was materialized between diverse civilizations in ways of tea setting and tea performance. During the preparation, the CJLU international performers devoted to embellishing the tea setting, pouring processes and narration scripts; meanwhile, they incorporated own culture understanding into their performance by proactively learning the Chinese tea culture and comparing China with Russia in tea custom.

This award vividly projected the cultural practice rolled out by International College for international students. The college will constantly polish the brand-"Study at CJLU" by supporting international students for their active participation in various culture exchanges, and encouraging them to serve as cultural dissemination ambassadors, erect a bridge for civilization exchanges, and unceasingly enhance understanding and friendship between different civilizations.
