Four schools from Beijing were in Hull to put on a show.
The schools,all from the Fengtai District in Beijing,have close ties to the city.Groups of students from Beijing and Hull regularly visit each other as part of a cultural and educational exchange programme.
Today’s special performance at Hull City Hall included various forms of traditional Chinese music,dance and acrobatics (杂技).
Lewis Anderson,26,started learning Chinese at the age of 13 and acts as a translator and organiser when the Chinese students visit the UK.He also currently studies at a university in China.
He said,“Cultural exchanges are really important because children start to appreciate everything in life.They start to learn that there isn’t only their view on things and they start to look at other cultures and appreciate their history and beauty.For example,when Hull students visit China,they might visit the Great Wall and enjoy traditional dancing and opera,and then they come home and think ‘What do we have that is the equivalent (相等的东西) of that?’ and they look at all the different things that we have and it starts to open their minds.”
The Chinese students are on a 12-day visit to the UK,visiting eight different cities,including four days in Hull.As part of their visit to Hull,they were invited to visit various museums,galleries and tourist sites in the city.
Lewis said,“The children love exploring Hull because it’s rich in history and everywhere you look it’s old,beautiful and attractive.”
At Hull City Hall the Chinese students performed a traditional Peking Opera,which combines music,vocal performance,dance and acrobatics.The performance is famous for featuring fantastic costumes and dazzling make-up.

Miss Bianca Monica,a junior here at Marymount Manhattan College,is currently sifting(筛选) her way through New York City working towards her dream of making rock music with high quality that you only hear occasionally.
“It was a journey.I wanted to study communications and learn how things work in the music industry,” explained Monica.This is a young lady who knows what she wants and is putting in the effort to achieve it.Born a Jersey girl,Monica knew she was made to be in New York.
With the overpowering support Monica receives from her hometown,it’s obvious that such a backbone helps her step into the studio.At a young age of 14,Monica led a rock band.After the Robbery,the band saw huge success;they played numerous live performances around the city.Monica has also performed solo at the now closed Angels and Kings.

For a 21-year-old,Monica possesses the passion of someone who’s been writing music forever.Her musical style,with a heavy diet in that old rock and roll music,shares some similar features with 1990s music.
When the Jersey girl isn’t in her usual studio,you can find Monica hanging around,going to shows,and enjoying the beauty of inspiration all around NYC.In late spring,Monica hopes to schedule a variety of shows to promote her new EP.Until then,you simply cannot miss out on hearing this wonderfully talented rock star.
