w88 casino News Network (provided by the Alumni Association)On June 20, 2024, a drama "Under the Roofs of Shanghai" that combines historical charm and modern interpretation was successfully premiered in the Qiusuo Lecture Hall. It took 24 alumni 105 days of hard rehearsals and careful preparations to finally come to a successful conclusion. The play not only vividly reproduces the era of old Shanghai, but also embodies the deep emotions and unremitting pursuit of the alumni, becoming a bridge connecting the past and the present, art and reality, and alumni and their alma mater.
This performance is the first time that the Alumni Association uses drama art as a carrier to link the two groups of alumni and graduates, fully demonstrating the artistic qualities of the alumni and the results of the w88 casino's "three-round education", and achieving a smooth link and positive feedback between the w88 casino's education and personal development.
Immersive curtain opening, lively
At half past six, a unique immersive performance started on time. The actors led the audience to travel through time and space through multi-dimensional live interaction and return to the charming old Shanghai.
The principal’s message is heart-warming
Professor Zhao Zhongxiu, President of the w88 casino and President of the Alumni Association, and Professor Zhang Xiaofeng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, came to the scene to watch the performance with the alumni. Principal Zhao sent warm and cordial greetings to the alumni present. He said that at this moment, we are in "Huizhong Temple", and we are back in the "Happy Garden" from all over the world. From the graduation ceremony to the alumni drama performance, from current students to alumni, the alma mater has brought everyone back. Today, we are embracing the classics with nearly 500 alumni, teacher audiences and alumni creators. On this special day, our alma mater welcomes alumni home on the best stage! I hope that today’s drama performance will allow alumni to show their love for art, and also reflect their concern and support for each other. I hope to see alumni often at their alma mater in the future.
The curtain opens, shocking the eyes and ears
As the curtain slowly opens, the audience seems to be transported back in time, immersed in the motley Shanghai alleys. In the interplay of light and shadow, every action and every line of the actors is full of the flavor of the times, making the audience feel like they are on the scene, breathing the same breath and sharing the fate of the characters in the play.
The response has been enthusiastic and the reviews have been rave
As the plot progresses, the audience's response becomes more and more enthusiastic. Sometimes I laugh out loud because of the humor and innocence of the characters in the play, and sometimes I hold my breath because of the confusing plot.
After the performance, Wu Yumeng, the drama director and 2021 China University of Finance and Economics alumnus, looked back fondly on the 105 days of rehearsals and expressed his gratitude to his alma mater, team partners and all supporters. His words were full of persistent pursuit of art and endless cherishment of this experience, which moved everyone.
Wang Xuan, a 2004 Law w88 casino alumnus, former head of the w88 casino’s drama troupe, and director of Jun Yicheng Law Firm, said that the strong support and encouragement given by his alma mater has moved the alumni who have loved the stage and drama for 20 years. Thanks to love for bringing us together again, today’s alumni drama special is a continuation of this spirit. He believes that love will last forever.
Zhang Xiaofeng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino, said emotionally in his comments that through this performance, he saw the sentiments of the alumni and the talents of the w88 casino students, and saw the power of education contained in this drama performance. This alumni drama performance can be called the "first time" in the history of the University of International w88 and Economics, and it has left a strong mark on the cultural heritage of the campus. He sincerely hopes that this performance can serve as a beginning. There will be more similar activities in the future, and the culture of the University of w88 and Economic Cooperation will surely become more active. At this important moment for the in-depth implementation of Xi Jinping’s cultural thoughts, at the key node of promoting cultural self-confidence, and at the great opportunity for the development of the new culture of the University of w88 and Economics, alumni are welcome to return to the w88 casino at any time to bring more exciting performances, and bring together the drama-loving University of w88 and Economics students to form an interactive atmosphere of "alumni and students, on stage and off the stage", and jointly create the cultural campus drama of the University of w88 and Economics.
In the random interview session on the spot, the alumni audience expressed their high appreciation for the actors' superb acting skills and the profound connotation of the play, saying that the performance was not only a visual and auditory enjoyment, but also a touching soul.
On this unforgettable night, "Under the Roofs of Shanghai" was not only a successful performance, but also a resonance of emotions and memories, a perfect fusion of art and education. It not only showcases the artistic talents of the alumni, but also enhances the relationship between the alumni and their alma mater, and contributes to the construction of campus culture. In the future, I believe there will be more wonderful chapters like this that will continue to bloom in this land full of love and dreams.
