I feel so privileged to perform in this ceremony and share the stage with so many outstanding artists. Thanks to my teachers’ guidance and the opportunity provided by the organizers, I not only improved my professional ability during the rehearsals, but also broadened my horizons. I will work much harder in the future.”
