HOUSTON, March 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese students, scholars and alumni in the greater Houston area Saturday enjoyed a multicultural performing arts event designed to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Organized by the United Associations of Chinese Alumni in Houston, the event featured dance, music, and martial arts performances.

Other than Chinese students and alumni, American students who are studying Chinese also participated in the show. Singing Chinese songs and performing short stage plays, their excellent Chinese drew rounds of applause from the audience.

Delivering a speech at the ceremony, Chinese Deputy Consul General in Houston Wang Yu said China's development and opening-up have created more opportunities for overseas Chinese students.

He hoped that Chinese students and alumni will give a full play of their professional knowledge and skills, and build a bridge for the exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States.

Established in 1997, the United Associations of Chinese Alumni in Houston is a non-profit and non-partisan organization aiming to coordinate all Chinese alumni in the greater Houston area for friendship, networking, and cultural promotion.

The organization is a union of 47 Chinese alumni associations and Chinese students and scholars associations in Houston with over 7,000 members. It is one of the largest organizations in the Chinese community in the greater Houston area.
