Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Youth Tour to Xinjiang: Together at the Foot of Tianshan Mountains, Compose a Unity Waltz

2025-08-19   

At midnight, the peaceful night sky of the desert sparkles with dazzling fireworks. More than 60 teenagers from Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Xinjiang walked hand in hand and sang songs, with the bonfire as the center and the sand sea as the seat and the Milky Way as the curtain. The fireworks stick draws a golden arc in the hand, capturing unforgettable moments of youth. This is a scene of the "Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Youth Xinjiang Tour" cultural and sports exchange delegation going deep into the N39 ° desert hinterland of Taklamakan, Xinjiang. Chen Ziqian, from Ciyou Middle School in Macau, shared on social media with his distant classmates: "Wherever we go, there are passionate dances welcoming us, and we are deeply infected." This dance under the vast desert stars has become a youth imprint engraved in the hearts of the young people. Dance is our language of communication, "said Abduljili, a student from Xinjiang." Even if we don't know each other, as long as we dance, our hearts get closer. "As hosts, Xinjiang teenagers use dance as a medium and warmly invite each other. At first, the slightly shy Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau friends gradually integrated into the lively rhythm, their steps transitioning from awkward to fluent. The millennium Silk Road, where civilizations converge. In the alleys of the ancient city of Kashgar, time flows slowly, and colorful paintings unfold before my eyes one after another. The young people walked into the Maimaiti courtyard, and the wooden table was already filled with naan cakes and dried fruits. On the stage in the center of the courtyard, Abduljili enthusiastically took the hand of Hong Kong student Peng Linwei and said, "It's okay to have the same hands and feet!" He generously demonstrated the agile dance of twisting his neck and wrist, and laughter echoed in the ancient courtyard. The drum beats vigorously, and the skirt flies. As soon as they arrived at Kazanqi Old Street in Shache County, the teenagers from the four areas were immersed in the joyful ocean of local people "receiving guests with dance". The sincere "jump one!" instantly ignited the children's enthusiasm. They learned to sway their hips and arms lightly, and the entire old street instantly turned into a flowing carnival of joy. The painting of lacquer fans, the tasting of sliced cakes, and the whip sound of spinning tops intertwine with the dancing figures, forming a vivid cultural picture. The millennium masterpiece of Silk Road culture is stirring the heartstrings at this moment. Shache County is known as the "Hometown of Twelve Muqam Arts", a cultural treasure that combines song, dance, and music, making students from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao intoxicated. The group was fortunate enough to encounter improvisational teaching by dance master Gulimana Maimaiti. Teenagers dance together with Skamukam and Kequnsenaim, and ancient intangible cultural heritage art shines with vitality in their youthful smiles. Dance has built a bridge of communication, achieving the friendship of 'no dance, no acquaintance'. In Daolang Painting Township, Maigaiti County, children and local residents danced the traditional dance of Maixilaifu together, deeply understanding the traditional culture passed down from generation to generation and shining brightly in the long river of the times through singing and dancing. Macao is a place where Chinese and Western cultures blend together, "Chen Ziqian said." After returning, I want to share the local customs, touching dances, and twelve Muqam art of Xinjiang with more Macao compatriots. I also hope to use the window of Macao in the future to bring excellent Chinese culture, including Xinjiang culture, to the world. "" Pomegranate flowers bloom, good luck comes every month. The flower of national unity blooms throughout the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains... "On the evening of the 18th, after a fun football skills match, accompanied by the moving melody of the song and dance" Pomegranate Blossoms ", Xinjiang students once again extended a warm invitation to their partners from the Greater Bay Area who came from afar. The dance steps are light and the friendship is long-lasting. The towering Tianshan Mountains witness the young people of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Xinjiang intersecting with each other with their hearts, expressing emotions through dance, and jointly depicting the magnificent concentric circle of national unity, composing the youth waltz of the new era.
