The Chinese and Palestinian students carried out lively exchanges and discussions on the theme of "Chinese Ceramic Culture", and the students were deeply attracted by the extensive and profound ceramic culture. Many Palestinian students saw porcelain for the first time, and they all said "it's great" and "so beautiful!" Ahmed, an animation fan, said that he had long known that China is the hometown of porcelain, and "China" has the meaning of "ceramic", but the combination of porcelain and anime surprised him! The girls said that the costumes of these anime characters are very beautiful, and they really hope to have the opportunity to wear such clothes in the future.
