The event provided teachers and students with a valuable platform to engage with the arts and served as an important means to inspire artistic pursuits among teachers and students, enhancing their aesthetic appreciation and artistic cultivation.

Yinchuan Theater has plans to offer a diverse range of performances, including dramas, dance dramas, musicals, symphonies, children’s plays, and concerts, and invite more university students, teachers, and residents into the theater to enjoy a "cultural feast" together.
