The representatives of students from both regions presented original artworks on themes such as city history, regional culture, and local customs, using their brushes to tell the stories of their hometowns and convey the charm of youth. The teachers from both sides conducted discussions and exchanges based on art education, classroom innovation, and educational practice, learning from each other, promoting each other's improvement, and effectively broadening the educational ideas of both regions. Under the witness of all the guests, the online exhibition officially opened.
