It’s highly important as there are students from different countries at the Universiade Village’, Svetlana Stepanischeva said. Dina Serazetdinova, fourth year student at the Institute of Oriental Studies of Kazan Federal University and one of the participants of the event, commented on her performance: ‘Since I study Chinese, I wanted to introduce the audience to the literature of this country. I narrated the famous Chinese love story.’
