In the closing ceremony-Commitment to Youth, we experienced that the Youth Art Festival is international, creative, classic, and fashionable. The performance of Jasmine is the overture of the closing ceremony, and it was played by a orchestra which consists of hundreds of middle school orchestral music players from Xian, Shenzhen, Beijing. The song of Young Friends Come and Join Us that was performed by the famous singer Li Guyi won the applause of all the audience. Than the foreign artists Gary Malkin and Fawni brought us into an exotic world. Moreover; the dances of Cloth Tiger, Happy Tibetan, and Red Lantern presented us the colorful Chinese culture. The director of the State Council Leading Group Office Poverty Alleviation and Development Liujian, the executive-chairman of China International Cultural Communication Center presented and enjoyed the closing ceremony. At last, the closing ceremony ended in the singing and dancing performance of Please Stay, the Guests from Far Away.
