On the evening of October 1, 2007, a part of the art troupes that participated in this art festival went to Beijing on the train and it became a train of singing and dancing. After the train started, two young musicians of the Honved Dance Company of Hungary, who had put their luggage in a proper place, took out their instruments and began to play. Young girls and men sang and danced at his side, whose joyous atmosphere influenced young men from Cook Islands, they danced their skilful Tortoise Dance with the music, but the girls from Cook Islands, who were hot and unrestrained on the stage, smiled shyly on one side. After 10 p.m. artists from different countries got together in the dining car and it became a temporary stage for performance. After Hungarian musicians played joyous dance music, Russian artists sang a Siberian song, and then South African youngsters sang passionate and sonorous songs, which ignited the joyous atmosphere in the carriage. No matter they were familiar with the songs or not, they sang with the rhythm, and some girls and young men even danced with the songs. After the songs and dances finished they shook hands with each other. Although their skin color and nationality were different, and maybe they would not meet each other again after they parted, at this moment they got acquainted with each other because of art and they lived in the same world harmoniously just like one family. A Hungarian artist took out his recording pen and recorded the South African singers¨ beautiful songs. The train conductor generously postponed the night closing time of the carriage. The attendants in the dinning car were also influenced by the joyous atmosphere, and they feasted their ears on the Moscow Nights performed by the Russian artists.
