In pics: cross-border exchange in arts between China and Russia

Russian choral conductor Daria Eremina walks past a corridor at Harbin Grand Theatre, her current workplace, in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, March 30, 2019. As China further opens up under the Belt and Road Initiative, a growing number of Russian artistic talents like Daria Eremina and Sergei Rymshin are seeking career development in Harbin. "The cross-border exchange in arts allows us to understand different cultures," says Daria. "And I, too, find my own part in it worthwhile". (Xinhua/Han Yu)
