East China Normal University in Shanghai played host to an exhibition on its Putuo district campus, showcasing the longstanding and evolving educational exchanges with the Macao Special Administrative Region in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland. The exhibition, a testament to the enduring partnership between the two sides, was inaugurated on Dec 18 with a launch ceremony.

At the ceremony, a choir comprising students from Macao and Shanghai rendered the Songs of Seven Sons, a tribute to Macao's return, along with the Cantonese melody Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies by Hong Kong rock band Beyond. Representatives from the Shanghai municipal government and ECNU delivered speeches extolling the significance of the exhibition, which not only commemorates past achievements but also sets the stage for future collaborations in the realm of education.

The exhibition is structured around a central display and two special zones. The main exhibit offers a comprehensive overview of the educational exchanges between ECNU and Macao SAR, spanning talent cultivation and scientific research cooperation.
