他们用音乐、艺术、教育和科技搭建起文明互鉴的桥梁，共同诠释了"思想无界，求索不息"的论坛精神。申文燮带领合唱团演绎阿卡贝拉《茉莉花》、多语种合唱《You Raise Me Up》原创作品《春日来信》，整场开幕式以"让我们跨越山海，彼此滋养，共筑人类文明的殿堂"的合诵作结，通过人物故事与艺术表演的有机结合，生动展现了留学经历如何促进跨文化交流与人类共同发展。
They built bridges of mutual learning among civilizations through music, art, education, and technology, collectively embodying the forum's spirit of "Boundless Thinking, Unending Exploration."
Shin Moonsub led the choir in performances including an a cappella rendition of Jasmine Flower, a multilingual choral version of You Raise Me Up, and the original piece Spring Letter. The opening ceremony concluded with a collective recitation: "Let us traverse mountains and seas, nourish one another, and together build the palace of human civilization."
By seamlessly weaving personal narratives with artistic performances, the event vividly demonstrated how study abroad experiences foster cross-cultural exchange and contribute to the shared progress of humanity.

During the event, international students from our university participated in organizing the reception banquet for the 2025 China International Education Exhibition Tour. This initiative provided an important platform for international students in China to showcase their talents and facilitated academic exchange between Chinese and foreign institutions. It also served as recognition of our university's achievements in international student education.
Taking this opportunity, our university will continue to deepen the development of international education programs, further enhance our global education standards, and contribute to promoting the "Study in China" brand. We remain committed to cultivating more high-quality international talents who understand and befriend China, while making greater contributions to sharing China's stories and promoting mutual learning among civilizations.
始创于1999年的中国国际教育巡回展和首创于2004年的中国留学论坛，以服务国家战略，推动教育与人才强国建设为目标，以促进留学工作高质量发展为己任，以增进国际交流与合作、深化民间外交为使命，通过多年来不断践行与积累，已成为出国留学及平安留学的重要阵地，来华留学对外展示的重要窗口，连接中外教育文化友好交往的重要平台，吸引了国内外各界的高度关注和热烈反响。
The China International Education Exhibition Tour, established in 1999, and the China Study Abroad Forum, initiated in 2004, are dedicated to serving national strategies and advancing the development of education and a talent-strong nation. With a commitment to promoting high-quality growth in study abroad initiatives, enhancing international exchange and cooperation, and deepening people-to-people diplomacy, these platforms have, through years of persistent practice and accumulation, become vital fronts for outbound study and safe overseas education. They also serve as important windows to showcase inbound education and key platforms for fostering friendly exchanges between Chinese and foreign education and culture. These efforts have attracted significant attention and enthusiastic responses from various sectors both domestically and internationally.
