Gao mentioned in her address that Shenzhen and Houston established sister city relationship in 1986.  This has enhanced the exchange and cooperation in all the fields between the two cities. The production of the musical "The Legend of Yin & Yang" was successful at the Morris Cultural Arts Center of the Houston Baptist University, which highly celebrated the 30th Anniversary of China-US Diplomatic Relationship. By quoting a Chinese saying "More visits make relatives closer", Gao extended her wish that the two sister cities have closer and more fruitful communications and cooperation in various fields in the future.
