[00:00.50]On the one hand, mosaic cultures are part of the universal heritage of humanity
[00:06.17]and they are powerful means of bringing together diverse peoples and social groups.
[00:11.28]Consequently, cultural integration has become indispensable
[00:16.66]as a means of promoting further culture development and maintenance.
[00:20.67]On the other hand, for China and many other rapidly developing countries,
[00:25.46]there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization.
[00:31.91]If kung-fu, Peking opera or The Swan Lake Ballet ever perished from the earth,
[00:36.83]it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions.
[00:40.34]In my view, multi-cultures can be kept alive by the people with the time to do so,
[00:47.06]and is extremely vital in ensuring a community's future development and prosperity.
[00:52.39]As a consequence of successful commercialization efforts
[00:56.02]unwavering government support and growing interest overseas
[01:00.07]the future of cultural blending looks brighter and more secure than ever before.
