Xu Tao and Zhang Kaili, two recitation performance artists, participated in the wonderful recitation of four works in praise of the motherland selected from hundreds of poems across the country. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are our rushing blood; Thousands of mountains towering into the sky are our indomitable Pangu; The infinite Fertile Field Walsh is our open chest; The boundless forest meadows are our black hair; Every part of the motherland is embedded in our bodies, and even more deeply embedded in our hearts. Under their wonderful interpretation, the audience was moved.
