Students from colleges, middle schools and elementary schools joined municipal government leaders among the audience at the recital. Eight hundred people recited twenty-four literary classics -- mainly ancient Chinese poems, including those by Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Meng Jiao. They also recited a famous essay by well-known scholar Liang Qichao. And a few poems penned by late Chinese leader Mao Zedong also formed part of the program, while some college students recited sections of foreign literary classics.
