The Yale Spizzwinks, one of the oldest acappella singing group of undergraduates in the world, has actively promoted cross-cultural exchange. During the performance, the choir presented classic Western songs such as "Blue Skies" and "No Regrets", while also performing popular Chinese classics like "Haohan Ge (Hero Songs)" and "When You Are Old", as well as rendering Chinese and American songs like "Wake Freshmen Wake" and "Olive Tree" in an innovative way. With rich harmonies and nuanced emotional expressions, the members of the Yale Spizzwinks delivered each piece with great passion, which deeply moved the audience.
