It is genuinely true that the personnel of "China Today " Art Week were a little "nervous" at the very beginning of the special performance of the Chinese ballet in India--- whether the Chinese ballet can arouse the resonance of the Indian public, especially for those who have never seen ballet performance, can they accept this art form?

　　And the result is? All the audiences rose in applause at the time of the curtain call of the two performances. Many citizens poured into the background trying to photos with the Chinese ballet dancers. The Hitavada, a local newspaper in Nagpur made a huge front-page photo of the show on the very next morning, and the cultural page covered this art feast with almost the full page ... In New Delhi and Nagpur, the Chinese ballet has gained immense popularity among mainstream Indian society on the platform of "China Today".

　　There was once a Bulgarian photographer, Yanko Tsvetkov, who has drawn a "Map of World Prejudices" as a source of ridicule for global geographical discrimination. One of the descriptions of India is follows: in the eyes of the Americans: "All kinds of curry", for Iranian: "Little Britain in Asia", for Indonesian: "Bollywood", and for the Chinese: "No toilet"... what exactly is India? Perhaps any of these statements are true and might be biased in any way, as the Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni in the 18thcentury said: "The one who hasn’t been abroad is full of prejudice." Whenever a person faces a type of culture different from his or her own, he or she will inevitably have a prejudiced imagination. However, the in-depth and active exchanges in the country will be the exclusive way to "change the impression."The ancients said that "Practice goes deeper than theoretic knowledge". It, the Practice, is the exact attitude upheld by the Chinese literature and art, presenting themselves while introducing others. This is just like the debut of "China Today" Art Week in India and our first edition in 2018 - it is just a Beginning.
