On November 9th, 2018, the Cultural Societies’ Tour Exhibition of College Students, Jilin Province was held at our University.

16 Russian students, led by Mikhail Pisarinka, a Russian teacher, performed songs and dances, including the authentic song-Katyusha.

“It was our first time to perform on such an important stage, so we were delighted and excited,” Yulia and Tallinn said. “In the spirit of enjoying campus life, we hoped to take this opportunity to display and help others appreciate our rich culture.

It was reported that all the college cultural clubs in Jilin Province play an important role in developing campus life and student growth. The clubs have many advantages, such as developing artistic and intellectual abilities, and thus help students grow in their morality, intelligence, physical health, and appreciation for beauty. Clubs are becoming more and more important as the universities strive for a more balanced college life and education for the students.

Wang Tianhao, the director of the college art club at HQUFL, said, “This is an opportunity to grow in multiple ways. In this tour, we are able to appreciate excellent performances of all the provincial cultural clubs. Moreover, we can promote cultural exchange and mutual learning. We are able to accumulate experience and gain new inspiration by creating and watching wonderful shows that fully represent the spirit and vision of students in the new era”.

HQUFL is committed to developing competitive cultural activities for college clubs and cultivating the campus culture which is characterized by foreign languages and cultures. Miao Jing, the vice secretary of the Communist Party Committee and director of the Student Affairs Department here, said, “The university initiates a variety of clubs with independence, professionalism and practicality to help cultivate the growth of excellent students.”

Over years, the university has developed an array of sophisticated clubs with linguistic characteristics led by the “Model United Nations Association” and “College Art Troupe”. A range of brand competitions are hosted, including the “Intercollegiate Model UN Conference”, “English Drama of Shakespeare’s Works Tour”, “English and Chinese Debate” and “Dubbing Contest of Classic Dramas of Foreign Languages” in order to encourage development towards expertise. Now, there are 252 clubs in total which are comprised of 191 specialized ones and 61 comprehensive ones. According to Guidelines of Clubs Administration issued by HQUFL, all the undergraduates are bound to participate in at least two clubs in line with their specialization and comprehensive levels, respectively. Thus they attend to exercise and improvements on their own in the multi-cultural environments of clubs and can enjoy more substantial student life.
