SHARING JOYS, SORROWS
After the video was posted online, "many of my colleagues congratulated me on the great significance of this cooperation," said Jiang Haisheng, principal second violin of the Liaoning Symphony Orchestra, who participated in the performance.
"My daughter, who is studying in Germany, gave a thumbs up for this special performance and said she was touched," Jiang added.
The video has attracted a lot of attention from Egyptian audiences after it was broadcast on the official websites of the Cairo Opera House and the Chinese Cultural Center on April 22.
The event is a vivid expression of cooperation and sincere friendship between the two peoples, said Egyptian Culture Minister Enas Abdel Dayem.
"Despite the geographical distance, we are sharing joys and sorrows," said Shi, adding that since the COVID-19 outbreak, China and Egypt have stood by each other and helped each other to overcome difficulties, which highlights the ever-growing friendship between the two countries.
"Best wishes for both Egypt and China!" Saber wrote.
