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

Russian ballet instructor Anna Rymshina helps one of her Chinese students wear ballet shoes in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, March 10, 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)
