As cultural exchanges between China and Russia continue to deepen, art has once again become a bridge linking the hearts of the two peoples.
In January this year, the Moscow Ballet brought the timeless classic Swan Lake to the Guiyang Grand Theatre in southwest China's Guizhou Province, captivating audiences with the elegance of Russian ballet.
Just a few months later, in April, the Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe staged its masterpiece, the acrobatic drama Swan, at the historic Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, presenting the beauty of Chinese acrobatics on the world-renowned stage.
