Russian choral conductor Daria Eremina views data in her office 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)
