From October 17 to 20, the 9th World Taijiquan Health Congress concluded successfully. Eighteen international students of our university from Bangladesh, Ghana, Pakistan and other countries formed two teams to compete in the event. After fierce competition, the delegation of Hubei University of Automotive Technology was awarded the Martial Virtue Award. The two teams won Third Prize in the group category. Among the participants, one student won First Prize in individual events, two won Second Prize, eleven won Third Prize, and four received the Award of Excellence. They demonstrated superb skills to showcase the charm of traditional Chinese martial arts to the world.

It is reported that the competition brought together 282 domestic teams and 13 overseas teams, with a total of 3,507 martial arts enthusiasts from home and abroad competing on the same stage. This marks the fourth consecutive year that our university has taken part in the event. In recent years, the university has continuously carried out education on fine traditional Chinese culture for international students. It has offered distinctive courses such as *Survey of China* and *Wudang Cultural Study Tours*, and organized international students to visit Wudang Mountain to experience Taoist culture. These initiatives have spread the concept of health and boosted cultural exchanges and mutual learning between China and other countries.
