We hope that all of you from Gyeonggi Province can deeply feel our warmth through these few days, and leave the best memories of your short one-week trip in China. We also hope that the friendships you have built up with the students of JIU Hong Kong and Macau will continue and become lifelong friends.

Thanks to the hospitality and care of the teachers and students of ASJ, we had a pleasant 5-day exchange. Even though our cultural backgrounds are different, we have developed trust in each other. We hope to welcome you in Gyeonggi-do, Korea this year, and I would like to promise you that we will be able to see the beautiful scenery of Gyeonggi-do, Korea, thank you.

As a volunteer, I not only contributed my efforts to this exchange but also gained valuable international exchange experience. Through interacting with my Korean counterparts, I broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of foreign cultures. Undoubtedly, this was a rare opportunity for personal growth, and I also contributed to the friendship between students from China and Korea. I sincerely hope that this bond can be perpetuated and that the friendly relations between China and Korea can be passed down through generations.

I had a very enjoyable five days in China, especially being able to form partnerships with Chinese students, engage in conversations, sit down for meals together, attend classes together, and participate in activities together. Even though we come from different countries and cultures, I still felt a sense of belonging here. I sincerely hope that my Chinese friends and teachers can visit Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, this October.
Next, the Chinese and Korean students engaged in a roundtable discussion, sharing their feelings and experiences from the activities.
Through face-to-face communication, everyone sincerely expressed their thoughts, which not only brought their hearts closer together but also deepened their understanding and respect for each other's cultural backgrounds, as well as their appreciation and reluctance to part from their international friendships.
During this exchange ceremony, students also prepared a diverse range of performances. Students from ASJ-Guangzhou and ASJ-Foshan showcased brilliant instrumental performances, while Korean students presented K-pop and traditional folk dances.
Through these performances, students communicated with each other through the language of art, experiencing the unique charm brought by different cultures.
