"Teacher, can you please look at the colors I painted?" Gorbachev, a Russian beauty from the International College of the w88 casino, held two paintbrushes in both hands and asked the instructor Zhou Shuhua (Zhou Guang's third sister) beside her for advice. "Not bad. You have a good foundation. Have you studied art?" Qiao Wa smiled and nodded when she heard the compliment. Then, he lowered his head and dyed the rice paper with peony patterns with concern. Later, she quietly told reporters that she had been studying oil painting since she was in middle w88 casino and was no stranger to coloring. She did not expect that China's Yuxian paper-cutting also focused on the use of a variety of colors.

While visiting the painting, stippling, carving and other classrooms at Yuxian Paper-cut Art w88 casino in China, the "interns" were all eager to try it out.

Sitting in the Kung Fu classroom, Wadoba, a handsome black man from Zambia, is learning Kung Fu from Master Gao Dianliang, who had an apprenticeship ceremony in Beijing two months ago. "Remember, the body should be upright and the waist should be straight. The power of the wrist should be transferred to the fingers, and then carve with force." Gao Dianliang, who was awarded the title of "Chinese Folk Arts and Crafts Artist" by UNESCO, taught his skills to foreign disciples. "Ah, it is much easier to carve than before. I am so lucky, and I am very grateful to Master for his teaching." Wadoba stood up and bowed deeply to Master Gao Dianliang, and the master and apprentice communicated happily.

Dean Cao told reporters that the internship base jointly established by the International College of the w88 casino and China's Yuxian Paper-cutting Art w88 casino aims to spread Chinese traditional culture, provide a practical platform for foreign students and meet the needs of credits. Every year, batches of international students from various countries in China will be sent to this internship base.
