On 8th January, Bangor University’s Confucius Institute marked the beginning of the new year with its first event of 2025, participating in the International Evening hosted by the Inner Wheel Association. Dedicated to celebrating global cultures and fostering international understanding, the evening was made unforgettable with a captivating musical performance by two of the Confucius Institute’s talented tutors, Wenting and Yushan.

Wenting and Yushan showcased the rich cultural heritage of China through their performances on traditional Chinese instruments—the guzheng and the erhu. The guzheng, a 21-stringed zither, is renowned for its ethereal melodies, while the erhu, a two-stringed fiddle, is cherished for its expressive and soulful sound.
