"International News Flash: On the evening of March 11th, Beijing time, a cultural exchange team composed of Peking University faculty and students, along with folk intangible cultural heritage inheritors, held a friendly exchange with local faculty and students at the Trinity College Auditorium, Cambridge University."
"During the event, both sides highly praised the achievements of the exchanges over the years, and students from both Chinese and foreign universities showed outstanding performances."
“An internationally renowned scholar and the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University mentioned in an interview that cultural exchange activities between China and foreign countries have a positive and beneficial significance for both Peking University and Cambridge.”
"Broadening horizons and enriching knowledge plays an irreplaceable role in the in-depth exploration and understanding of the traditional cultures of both countries."
"Fan Renli also cited the literary work 'The Great Tragedy' created by Peking University students in this event. The story is based on real events in England, but it takes a different approach and writes the story of heroes from a completely new perspective, showing the glorious image in human history."

CCTV International Channel is a core television channel primarily aimed at overseas Chinese audiences, but it can also be received domestically, on channel 4.
This channel primarily features news programs, with some cultural programs filling the time slot. This cultural exchange activity between China and other countries was reported on the international channel.
A very ordinary news item, a 30-second narration and video, would normally not attract much attention, especially since not many young people watch TV these days.
However, before this news was broadcast, other media outlets such as Xinghua News Agency had already published related information online.
Those who need to know already know that Lu Qingfeng's article was heavily promoted by local British media during this exchange activity.
Although in recent years, China no longer urgently needs external recognition as it did in the past, and even a small achievement abroad is no longer met with such fervent praise and adulation,
But given that this was a formal occasion involving diplomacy between the two countries, and the level of attention was so high, achieving such results is still something to be happy about.
Needless to say, the fans cheered and showered the fans with praise on social media.
As for the general public, due to the image Lu Qingfeng has always cultivated, coupled with his continuous production of high-quality works, the comments were mainly mildly praising him, and they were also curious about what kind of article it was.
Peking University also released the Chinese version early on, satisfying everyone's expectations.
Although I don't know exactly why it's good, it's just good.
[A very good biography. Even if you don't understand the themes, just focusing on the story itself will keep you reading. The language is highly concise and simple. A few lines of dialogue can describe a person's personality. From the initial foreshadowing to the later annihilation of the team, to be honest, even if you guessed the ending, just reading the first part still makes you worry about the fate of the adventure team.]
It seems that Xiao Lu's command of language has improved again. His control over the pacing of the story is masterful—amazing!
[This seems to be based on a true story from the UK.]
Yes, there are videos on Bilibili that have dug up this history.
According to those content creators, the team leader bears some responsibility for the tragic ending; it's admirable that Lu could change it to this state.
[After all, it's an exchange activity; we can't expose other people's shortcomings.]
……
This is probably the most popular Sino-foreign cultural exchange event in history, and it can also be seen as a reflection of Lu Qingfeng's current popularity.
Often, the situation remains the same, but with a different person, the outcome becomes completely different.
The massive amount of attention focused on Lu Qingfeng, combined with these events, has led to the current phenomenon.
The situation in China did not affect the situation in Britain. "The Great Tragedy" appeared in newspapers of many media outlets, and local reports in Cambridge even devoted an entire page to it.
It has generated some discussion, but it's limited to a small circle and hasn't yet reached the point of going mainstream.
With two days left in the event, Lu Qingfeng spent the morning experiencing traditional British culture with the team on the second day. In the afternoon, having nothing else to do, he took his easel to the courtyard of the Giant Courtyard by himself.
Looking at the surrounding Gothic buildings and recalling the movies he had seen in his previous life, he began to write and draw.
Tourists and students passed by without disturbing him, but occasionally someone would peek out from behind him out of curiosity.
"Hi!"
After some time, someone came up to him and greeted him.
Snapping out of his reverie, Lu Qingfeng turned his head and saw a head of blonde hair hanging down from above—it was Olivia, with Flora and Senior Meng beside her.
The three of them got along very well during this period.
"What are you drawing?"
Flora's personality was much more outgoing. As she spoke, she looked over from the other side. Senior Meng was curious. She had never heard that her junior could draw. Could it be that he had just learned?
Lu Qingfeng made no attempt to hide anything and showed the three of them the contents of the drawing.
Above are three children wearing magical robes, two boys and one girl, who are the three main characters in the Harry Potter series: Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
The character design leans towards comic book style, with Harry's appearance already largely complete. While retaining the key features of the original, Lu Qingfeng also referenced Li Shibai's appearance and made some modifications.
After all, he also said that the inspiration came from this Cambridge student.
Green eyes, black hair, round-framed glasses, and a signature lightning bolt scar on his forehead.
"Ha, is this a character from your new novel? He looks a bit like Dennis. Why aren't the other two drawn with faces?"
Flora squatted down next to him.
Senior Meng was somewhat surprised. Although the characters on the drawing were relatively simple and there were some rough marks around them, the lines were neat and the characters were well represented with just a few strokes.
Wow, that's amazing! You must have been studying this for a long time.
I've never heard of it before, and I doubt anyone outside knows about it.
Then I'll be the first one...
She glanced at Olivia and Flora, and thought, "I'm the first person in the country to know about this, I'm so happy!"
"I haven't thought of anything yet."
Lu Qingfeng answered the white girl's question.
"Or, you can take a look at my appearance for reference."
Flora said very proactively.
Lu Qingfeng glanced at her, then at her hair, pondered for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.
Then I started adding details to Hermione.
Thick, fluffy brown hair, brown eyes, and two large, rabbit-like front teeth.
Unlike her portrayal in the movies, Hermione in the novels is not beautiful, but she is very intelligent. To conceal this fact, she adopts an arrogant attitude from the very beginning.
Privately, he was diligent and eager to learn. After getting to know Harry and Ron, his personality gradually changed, and he became friendly and considerate.
As Lu Qingfeng recalled these details, Gaffrola's image was incorporated into the drawing, and soon Hermione's image was gradually perfected under his brush.
"Haha. Is this me? How cute."
Flora wasn't annoyed that Lu Qingfeng hadn't drawn her better; in fact, she found it amusing.
