The enthusiastic and dynamic show of "The Dance of Youth" marked the event. The "Red Skirts under the Sun", which won second place in the Beijing Dance Festival for College Students was also well received. The show gave audiences a feeling of so-called "left-behind children's" longing for love. It had a unique layout and vividly portrayed the dancers' spirituality. During the performance of "Cocoon into Butterfly", the commanding voices and superb acting of those onstage skillfully recreated the atmosphere of war time.

Afterward, hip-hop performers kindled the audiences' enthusiasm with their solid skills in "High School". Then, an orchestra of traditional instruments played koto, erhu and flute, and touched the audiences' emotions. Two advisory members of the Arts Group performed a duet called "Longwen", and received much applause. The closing ceremony ended up with the song "Fly with Dream", which had previously won the CWU annual chorus competition.

Since it started, the 11th art festival included the third Top Ten Singers Competition, the second Instrumental Music Contest, the second Diplomatic Protocol Competition, and several other activities.
