"Experience China in Israel" cultural event, which began 11 days ago and will conclude at the end of this month, is coming off as planned, yet it is proved that the event has been well received by Israelis and helps enhance the friendship between the two countries.
Since 1999, China has held the event of "Experience China" in many countries including Germany, the United States, Russia and South Korea to promote cultural exchanges. These events have been well received by overseas governments, news media and the general public.
"Experience China in Israel" event, jointly held by China's State Council Information Office and Israeli Foreign Ministry, is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 17th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Composed of a series of activities including performances, picture exhibitions, a film week and a symposium on China, Israel and the world economy, the event, which formally kicked off Saturday evening in Tel Aviv Opera House, is expected to allow Israelis to see Chinese culture and China's developments and achievements over the past six decades and promote Sino-Israeli friendship.

The following vivid examples serve to demonstrate the event's popularity among Israelis.
The 86-year-old Israeli President Shimon Peres, who initially planned to watch the first part of the "My Dream" performance staged in Tel Aviv Opera House by China Disabled People's Art Troupe, followed it through instead and lauded the performance as "the most unbelievable beauty in the world."
The repertoire dance "Thousand-hand Bodhisattva" performed by 21 disabled Chinese relying on the assistance of two sign language conductors symbolized the spirit of the Chinese people and the power of unity, said the Israeli leader after the performance, adding that one thousand hands can work like one and produce joint strength, which is the power of solidarity.
