Youth troupe performs for distinguished African guests

Zhang said that having the chance to play the djembe on such an occasion to welcome honored guests from afar made him nervous but also motivated him to display the spirit of Chinese youth in the new era — peace-loving, passionate and hospitable.

These energetic children, with their talent and enthusiasm, demonstrated the warmth of Chinese youth to the world, showing that the friendship between China and African countries will grow deeper and stronger in the future.

Established in 2017, the Soong Ching Ling Peace Angel Art Troupe consists of a traditional Chinese orchestra, symphony orchestra, dance troupe, choir, a cappella group, percussion ensemble, Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, taekwondo performance and martial arts performance groups.

The troupe has toured countries such as Japan, Austria, Hungary, Morocco, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and Malaysia, fostering strong friendships with young people worldwide.
