The 3rd Da Vinci Talk - Annual Art Exhibition by Chinese University Students has been wrapped up. It has showcased 40 artworks by Chinese youth. I decided not to set a theme for the exhibitions from this year and onwards, which encouraged the artists to present the works reflecting their thoughts and state of mind without boundaries.

In addition, during the event period, the digital advertising screens, the brochures and the signs of the exhibition were available around the venue.
At the same time, we had put the advertising flyers of ChildFund New Zealand, our notable partner, on the dressing trestle, and we played our part to draw the audiences’ attention to the organization.
