SHANGHAI, April 24, 2026 – On the afternoon of April 24, the opening ceremony of the 8th International Cultural Festival and International Chinese Language Day theme event was held at Star Plaza in the Student Living Area of Shanghai Ocean University (SHOU). Centered around the theme Universal Radiance and Harmonious Coexistence, the event brought together Jiang Min, Vice President of SHOU, along with representatives from various colleges and administrative departments, faculty and students from sister universities, and international student delegates, all gathered to witness this cross-border cultural celebration.

热情洋溢，共启华章

A Vibrant Beginning: Opening the Global Chapter

开幕式上，江敏在致辞中回顾了学校来华留学教育71年的光辉历程，已有来自全球116个国家的国际学生在海大读书成长。她表示，国际学生是最好的民间外交官，是连接中国与世界的桥梁，希望每一位海大国际学子都能当好文化交流的使者，实现“五洲同辉、和美共生”的美好愿景。

导师代表张文博结合自身在联合国粮农组织担任顾问的经历，分享了学校在国际水产养殖领域的重要贡献。他表示，上海海洋大学在联合国粮农组织等国际组织中拥有重要话语权，多位教师代表中国政府参加政府间会议，刘利平教授当选亚洲水产学会主席，肯尼亚的博士研究生Benter（安贝甜）当选了世界水产养殖学会学生董事——这些都是学校国际化的重要成果。

安贝甜表示，在海大求学的机会是许多人梦寐以求的特权，“在这里，我们不仅积累知识、拓展人脉，更获得了连接欠发达、发展中国家与发达经济体之间桥梁的力量。”她鼓励同学们成为彼此未来的合作伙伴，共同推动全球发展。

During the opening ceremony, Vice President Jiang Min delivered an opening address reflecting on the university's 71-year history of international education, noting that SHOU has welcomed and nurtured students from 116 countries worldwide. 

International students serve as our finest grassroots diplomats, acting as bridges that connect China with the world, Jiang stated. She expressed her hope that every international student at SHOU would embrace their role as ambassadors of cultural exchange, fulfilling the beautiful vision of universal radiance and harmonious coexistence.

Faculty representative Zhang Wenbo shared the university’s significant contributions to global aquaculture, drawing from his personal experience as a consultant for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. He highlighted SHOU’s influential voice within international organizations like the FAO, noting that multiple faculty members have represented the Chinese government at intergovernmental meetings. Furthermore, Professor Liu Liping was elected President of the Asian Fisheries Society, and Benter (An Beitian), a doctoral student from Kenya, was elected as a student director of the World Aquaculture Society—all milestones reflecting the university's robust internationalization.

In her remarks, Benter expressed that studying at SHOU is a privilege many dream of. Here, we do not just accumulate knowledge and expand our networks; we gain the power to build bridges connecting underdeveloped regions, developing countries, and developed economies, she said, encouraging her peers to become future global development partners.

园区巡展，精彩延续

 Bringing the World to the Campus Community

值得一提的是，4月26日至5月1日，国际文化主题游园会将走进各学生园区，开展五一巡展活动。泰国特色美食、汤加民族舞蹈、巴基斯坦传统甜品、喀麦隆民族服饰、缅甸手工艺品以及中国非遗文化将陆续与师生见面，让大家在生活园区内即可体验世界多元文化。

参加活动的国际学生表示：“通过表演和游园，我更加理解了中华文化，也交到了很多朋友。”中国学生也感慨道：“不同文化的碰撞，真的能擦出绚烂的火花。”

To extend the celebration, the International Cultural Bazaar will transform into a roving exhibition, visiting various student residential zones from April 26 to May 1. This week-long tour will bring Thai delicacies, Tongan folk dances, Pakistani traditional desserts, Cameroonian ethnic attire, Myanmar handicrafts, and Chinese intangible cultural heritage directly to the students' living quarters, allowing the campus community to experience global diversity right at their doorsteps.

Reflecting on the event, one international student shared, Through these performances and the bazaar, I have gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and made many new friends. A Chinese student added, The collision of different cultures here has sparked truly brilliant inspiration.

值此国际中文日之际，学生生活园区以文化为纽带，师生在科技与文化的互动中共享一场跨越国界的交流盛宴。本次活动为我校国际化趋同化教育和管理注入新活力，也为中外师生搭建起跨文化交流的桥梁，为推动构建“人类命运共同体”贡献青春力量。未来，学校将继续举办此类活动，丰富校园文化生活，持续提升国际化办学水平。

By using culture as a unifying thread on International Chinese Language Day, the student residential area provided a platform where faculty and students shared a cross-border exchange bridging technology and culture. This event injects new vitality into the university's localized international education framework, builds a bridge for cross-cultural communication, and empowers the youth to contribute to building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind. Moving forward, SHOU will continue to host similar initiatives to enrich campus life and steadily elevate its global educational standards.
