The celebration began with a song and dance performance. The fan dance brought by new york Chinese Dance Troupe Cai Feng Dance Troupe is full of strong local customs of China, and then the actors dressed in cheongsam dance with the accompaniment of The Beauty of Taihu Lake. William Hong, the first violinist of China Central Orchestra, played China's famous violin solo Spring in Xinjiang. The music style was unrestrained and enthusiastic, and all the staff of the United Nations and diplomats from various countries applauded.
In various activities, a mother and daughter (78-year-old He Jinghua and daughter Pu) in Jiangyong County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, showed the characters of "Nvshu" and related customs on the spot, which set off a climax. "Nvshu" is a kind of Nvshu that spreads in Jiangyong County and its surrounding areas in Hunan Province. This mysterious language is only used by women, telling women's life stories. It has been circulating for hundreds of years, and its origin has not been tested. The mother and daughter not only displayed the "female book" written on books, fans and woven on cloth handkerchiefs, but also recited the "female book" work "Training Women's Words". When introducing the unique folk customs of "Nvshu" and "Sitting in a karaoke room", they sang two folk songs live, which echoed each other, cadenced and had a melodious aftertaste. The voice from China Dashan won a full house applause. Finally, Pu wrote the word "Nvshu" on the spot, which means "health, peace and good luck". The handwriting was slender and beautiful, and the diplomats present were amazed.

The China Municipal Government will take the opportunity of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations to continue to promote the extensive use of Chinese in the work of the United Nations.
