When the gentle melody of Joe Hisaishi’s “Always with Me” collided with the passionate rhythm of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” on the same stage, and the fingertips of Chinese and foreign students jumped together on the strings, the night sky of Hongqiao Community is illuminated by music and wisdom. 

On the evening of June 13, the “Vitality IN Hongqiao” International Community Beautiful Life Festival successfully concluded with the theme of “The Most Beautiful Music Meets the Strongest Brain,” and a cross-border artistic dialogue was brilliantly staged at the “Little United Nations.”

As an important practice of exploring the “three integrations” overseas talent service model in Hongqiao Community, the first International Community Beautiful Life Festival has built a multi-level life integration platform “at home and in buildings” through culture as a medium and governance as the soul.

This closing exhibition, in collaboration with students from renowned universities around the world and the Tongxin Club of Hongqiao Chinese and Foreign Schools, depicted a new vision of “talent co-education” in the international community through three chapters: “Fate and Harmony,” “Cultivation and Mutual Assistance,” and “Reflection and Encountering the Future.”

On April 20 of this year, the 1st International Community Better Life Festival with the theme of “Better Life, Better Hongqiao” kicked off at the Golden Street. 

In the past two months, Hongqiao Community has carried out a series of aesthetic education activities around eight major areas: Network, Teamwork, Empower, Growth, Relationship, Artistry, Transition, and Opportunity. 

It has not only created an inclusive atmosphere of “cultural, business, educational and green” coordinated development, but also created a carnival for residents that combines cultural depth and community warmth.
