"Through these activities, we hope to further strengthen mutual learning between Chinese and Indian civilizations, deepen academic exchanges, and enhance understanding and mutual trust," Liu said.
Zhang Wenqing, curator of the Shanxi Merchant Museum, said Tagore visited the museum — the former site of the Shanxi governor's mansion — 100 years ago, making it the ideal spot to hold the commemorative event.
Munila Anwaier, a Peking University student who considers Tagore a spiritual mentor, recited his poems during the event.
"Standing on the same stage where Tagore once gave a speech to recite his poems, I feel extremely honored," Anwaier said.
