In addition to singing their own repertoire, "Wei Tong" sings local songs in every country to reflect the feelings of artistic commonality and mutual respect. Previously, Chinese songs such as "Jasmine Flower" and "Moon Represents My Heart" have been sung on tour in China, and they are very popular with the audience.

Native American Ballads, etc. Especially before the end of the halftime, John Strauss Jr.'s two dance works, "The Story of the Vienna Forest" and "The Happy Train Polka" set off a small climax. Three-quarters of the waltz shots make the audience's hearts ripple with the children's slightly shaken posture; the successive layers of Bolka rhythm take people on the train running out of the Vienna forest and enjoy the European scenery. Of course, "Wei Tong" has brought along such Chinese native works as "Gao Shan Qing" and "Let's Rise Two Rollers" as before. On the spot, the audience gave warm applause to the angels from the music capital.
