A different presentation of the prose Yueyang Tower by Fan Zhongyan (989-1052), a Chinese scholar-reformer in Song Dynasty, performed by YANG Jie, C’28, Broadcasting & Hosting Art undergrad at AXHU School of Culture and Communication, recently earned a third prize accredited by the Chinese Classics Recitation Contest organizing committee.

The national finals of CNR.CN 2^nd season, including the award ceremony, was co-managed by CNR News, the People’s Government of Tianjin Municipality office at Hotan in Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, Publicity Department of the Hotan Prefecture, Hotan Culture & Tourism Bureau, CNR News Xinjiang Channel and its affiliate Cultural Industries Investment Co., Ltd., grassroots communication divisions across the prefecture, and Hotan City Library.  

Via a deeper transformation characteristic of ‘word-image-mind’ illocutionary skills, Yang’s moving, inspiring, and appealing voices urged all the on-site audience to embrace a new epic, who were experiencing time-space romance knowledgeable with the Neo-Confucianism, as well as the impacting locutions out of the “historically faltering” writer’s in-depth patriotism with a touch of nostalgia—being engulfed in an aura of then-pathetic care for the fate of the empire in a coup, but the greatest natural scenery ever beside Dongting Lake, Hunan province.

This blockbuster event had successfully completed two Seasons in a row, which also had been very recognized from all walks of life to contribute to the broad-based engagement, nationwide, since May 26, 2023.

Just for the second-time form, it has convened more than 300 thousand candidates or nominations, totaling up nearly 2 billion posts on-line at All-China social media, while featuring a core “Say” of “public benefits, civic entertainments, and authoritative benchmarks,” and helping all the natives to have an impressive ‘dialogue’ with the time-tested classics and a real sense of transcendence processing throughout the glamorous influences of Chinese culture traditions on the world’s civilization over the times.

As of 2025, the School, adhering to a pedagogical idea of “Competition-Driven Teaching and Learning and Practicing,” has always encouraged the current students to widely join the event-like field trips as well as to challenge some of the probationary workplaces in the real world, with which those prospective talents would claim their own much-needed capacities, due to the new situations of linguistic understanding, reasoning and interpreting at the highest level.

Meanwhile, it is firmly based on each course module as MOE disciplinary requirements to grow and convert their professional strengths, while thinking productively with chains of fine-tuning thought, so as to channel a massive number of high-quality, innovative Culture & Communication graduates to hit and shape a brand new Mediascape with “Humanities + AI Tech.”
