At the end of the event, all sang "Song and Smile" together, expressing goodwill and best wishes for each other.
"I think today's event is very educational and cultivating, and I have learned a lot," McOrell Kouevi, a 14-year-old student from Baltimore International Academy East, told China Daily, mentioning that some of today's performances reminded him of his experience in China and "my Chinese friends".
