Distinguished speakers included Yan Fei, President of the Canadian Chinese Writers Association; Li Bin, a board member of the Translators Association; and poet Jiang Nan. Each shared their creative journeys in an emotional and inspiring way, sparking deep resonance and encouraging many to recite their own poems aloud.</p> <p class="ql-block">One of the most touching moments was when music composer Jing Li, performing in a wheelchair, played the electric melodica. Moved by the moment, the crowd spontaneously held hands and joined in a chorus of “Listen to Mom’s Stories of the Past,” their voices and her music echoing through the warmth of spring — a truly unforgettable scene.</p> <p class="ql-block">At noon, attendees enjoyed music, delicious food, sweets, and drinks, savoring the many flavors of life. The afternoon unfolded with spontaneous performances, games, raffles, and photography sessions — laughter and joy filled the air. Especially memorable were the solo performances by four talented Filipino singers, whose voices received thunderous applause and left a lasting impression.</p> <p class="ql-block">As the sun began to set, groups of attendees strolled along the scenic paths filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. The day concluded in a poetic and serene atmosphere, with every step feeling like walking through a living poem.</p> <p class="ql-block">✨ Special thanks to all the participating groups, performers, photographers, sound engineers, volunteers, and guests who selflessly supported this event.</p> <p class="ql-block">Event coverage by: Liu Siyuan</p> <p class="ql-block">🎉 Congratulations to the Canada-China International Association of Cultural Artists on the successful lakeside gathering in Mississauga! 🎉🎉🎉</p> <p class="ql-block">🙏 With gratitude to President Liu and all organizers, sponsors, and volunteers.
