Before the opening ceremony, top entertainers including movie stars Cheung Pak Chi, Zhang Hanyu, Su Youpeng and Chinese "Super Girl" winner Zhang Liangying walked the red carpet, raising fans' cheer and screaming. Among these fans, there were some Fordham students. Some of these Chinese International students coming from Rose Hill campus who said that it was a big surprise and excitement for them to witness so many Chinese stars in the United States; especially because the venue was next to the Fordham Lincoln Center campus. They were glad of Fordham’s location – near the world’s leading performing arts center. Besides, they were pleased with the service of Ram Van (the intercampus transportation between two campuses Rose Hill and Lincoln Center). It is the most convenient and safe way to get out of Bronx and into the Manhattan.
In addition, one volunteer from Fordham expressed her pride in not only helping the Chinese Film Festival but also helping Chinese movies go abroad. She hoped more and more people in the U.S. could get to know and understand the culture and arts from China. Also, she was proud of herself to represent Fordham Chinese students in front of students of other schools. It is good to see that international students from Fordham are trying to build a good reputation for Fordham, when Fordham has a growing international student population.
