　　In the past years, more cultural activities have been carried out between the two countries. And he added that "A new international strategy is being developed to link Wales further with the key international markets including China. ".

　　Perhaps this is just a stage experience;another kind of feeling to the western culture; or they may learn something from it. Whatever the harvest, I think, this is the meaning of compatibility between Chinese and western culture.

　　對(duì)于卡迪夫?qū)W子來說，也許這只是一次舞臺(tái)經(jīng)歷;也許是對(duì)西方文化的另一種感受;又或許，他們能從中領(lǐng)悟并學(xué)習(xí)歷史偉人的勇敢精神，以及獲取不斷向上的力量。無論是哪種收獲，我想，這大概就是中西文化相融的意義所在。

　　Finally,wish them a better performance in the following campus life!
