June 23, 2025 | Irvine, CA

Max Education Group was honored to welcome Mr. Weiguo Zhao, one of China’s most beloved and iconic crosstalk (相声) performers, for a special visit to our Irvine headquarters. Mr. Zhao is widely known for his witty humor, cultural insight, and dedication to preserving the art of traditional Chinese comedy.

During his visit, Mr. Zhao sat down for an engaging and heartfelt conversation with our founder, Ms. Linling Gan, discussing the intersection of education, culture, and creativity. The two exchanged views on how cross-cultural understanding and artistic expression can enrich the learning experience for younger generations, especially those navigating life between Eastern and Western cultures.

“It was a true privilege to host Mr. Zhao,” said Ms. Gan. “His wisdom, warmth, and humor left a lasting impression on our team. We believe that cultural figures like him play a vital role in inspiring the next generation—not just to learn, but to connect meaningfully with their roots and values.”

The visit was a joyful and memorable occasion for Max Education Group staff and students alike. Mr. Zhao's presence brought laughter and inspiration to the office, and his support reinforces our mission to blend excellence in academics with meaningful cultural engagement.

We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with influential cultural leaders and continue building a bridge between education and the arts.
