The exhibition will be held from 9 am to 5 pm next Friday in Renmin Park. As is advertised, there will be all sorts of paper-cutting peculiar to China on the exhibition, and whoever present will be given a work of paper-cutting as a gift. For someone so fond of Chinese culture like you, it's absolutely a great opportunity you can't miss.
Looking forward to your early reply.
