The Chinese Cultural Night 2025 was a magical and mesmerizing night that witness the students of KYUEM embracing and diving into the fascinating culture and traditions of the Chinese people. This event was held in the Saad Square, and it featured elements and activities that are engraved in the Chinese culture. This evening provided the perfect opportunity for cultural exposure to occur in KYUEM, widening students’ perspectives and allowing more acceptance towards differences in communities.
One of the spotlights of the night was the calligraphy art station. In Chinese traditions, calligraphy is deeply tied to the Confucian values, as well as the embodiment of harmony and balance, as the brushstrokes must flow smoothly with both precision and creativity. This activity witnessed students attempting to write calligraphy, as they try to work their way in mastering the techniques when writing calligraphy.
The Mahjong game, another central feature of the night, brought students together in an exciting and interactive way. Known for its complexity and strategic depth, Mahjong is a beloved pastime in Chinese culture, especially during Chinese New Year when families gather to play and celebrate. During the event, students had the chance to learn the rules, apply strategy, and compete in friendly matches. The game not only offered entertainment but also highlighted the importance of family bonds and togetherness in Chinese traditions.
Another captivating feature of the night was the variety of traditional elements that enriched the celebration. Floating lanterns lit up the sky, symbolizing hope, renewal, and good fortune for the year ahead. The sparkle of handheld fireworks added a sense of festivity, creating a dazzling display that brought excitement to the crowd. Fragrance pouches, intricately designed and filled with aromatic herbs, were also sold as tokens of well-wishing and protection, reflecting traditional Chinese customs. Adding to the experience was the opportunity to enjoy ‘nianbing’, traditional Chinese snacks that offered a delicious taste of the festive season. Additionally, students had the opportunity to purchase and wear traditional Chinese accessories, such as hairpins, hair sticks and bracelets enhancing the embracement of meaningful traditions of Chinese culture in a personal way.
There was also symbolic decorations, including a wishing board that allow students to write wishes on cards and pinning them on the wall – in hopes that all dreams will come true in the new year. Apart from that, there was also food treats that were served during the night, such as oden and milk tea. Throughout the night, occasional karaoke also occurred during the event, with students singing different types of festive songs, showering the night with more festive vibes of Chinese New Year.
The Chinese Cultural Night 2025 at KYUEM was not just an event—it was a meaningful celebration of cultural diversity, a night where students embraced new traditions and gained a deeper understanding of the Chinese community’s values. By immersing themselves in activities that promoted cultural awareness and mutual respect, students left with a renewed sense of connection to one another. The event was a testament to KYUEM’s commitment to fostering an inclusive, harmonious community where students are encouraged to learn from one another and appreciate the richness of different cultures.
