Chongqing University attached great importance to this contest and actively mobilized and organized the students of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland to participate in the contest. Soon after, three outstanding students were selected to form the team through the campus preliminaries. Then, Mr. Si Wei from the Liberal Arts College acted as the instructor of the team, and some outstanding students majoring in Broadcasting and Hosting from Meishi Film Academy were invited to give recitation training to the contestants. On May 14, the CQU's team ranked first in the group with a total score of 1,597.5 points and advanced from the semi-finals to the national finals.

The national finals were conducted in three links: required questions, quick response and subjective topic. The topics of the required and quick response questions cover many fields of Chinese culture, examining the knowledge and cultural accomplishment of the participating students from historical culture, literature and art, traditional customs, etc. The subjective topic focused on poetry recitation and the participating teams drew lots to decide the contents. The Organizing Committee gave the teams about one hour to prepare and then these teams made impromptu recitations. After nearly a day of fierce competition in the semi-finals and finals, the CQU's team made outstanding performance and won the second prize.
