Children's choir gives a voice to world peace

Twenty-six child singers from China recently performed at Tel Aviv University in Israel and at the Palestine Red Crescent Society Theater. Chen Nan reports.

Ode to Joy, a poem written in 1785 by German poet Friedrich Schiller and best known for its use in the final movement of Symphony No 9 by Beethoven in 1824, celebrates the changing of anguish into joy and conflict into harmony.

Inspired by the piece and with the hope of promoting world peace, a Chinese song, Ode to Peace, was released by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. It's staging a world tour, which kicked off from Israel and Palestine in September.
