On May 7, Tagore had his 64ᵗʰ birthday and the Chinese side held a solemn celebration for him. That night, there was a performance *Chitra* (a famous play by Tagore) in English at the assembly hall of Union Medical College (located at Dongdan Santiao, Beijing). This is the first time for China to ever perform an Indian play. Tagore was in the middle of the third row, while Mei Lanfang sat beside him.
