The Association (WRSA) now has a new branch: Branche France & Belgique (Association des anciens étudiants chinois retournés de l’étranger).
On 10 January I was invited as the “European Chamber Delegate and Belgian delegate” for the Chinese New Year celebration, held in the complex between the Beijing Hotel and the Forbidden City.
Our Belgian Ambassador Michel Malherbe was also present and gave a speech, there were also representatives of the French embassy.

We had over one hour of performances, pretty well done. We had African music and dance (Cameroon), Italian Opera, ballet by the ballet school “Arc-en-Ciel de Jeunes” of Beijing, wushu demo, fashion show by the senior ladies group of WRSA, and more.
I liked the ballet done by the Oh-so-cute little girls and the shows by the senior ladies – much like the Chongyang Festival performances.
We all noticed the ballet of the “four swans” being carried out by … five little swans…
