In the following years， many universities and institutions in both countries carried out various activities with gradually enlarged scales， and the number of Chinese students studying in Germany increased from 1， 280 in 2003 to 4， 239 in 2009. In the March of 2010， for the first time， Germany organized cultural exchange activities called ‘China Week’ together with other countries with 45 German universities， and over one million students involved so as to promote the mutual communication among the youth. Meanwhile， in the same year， representatives from Nanjing University held ‘Nanjing University Day’ which was the first time for Chinese top universities going abroad to for self-development and self-promotion. Therefore， this initiative is the climax and the fruit of the cultural exchange between two countries these years. According to the website of the Federal Republic of Germany embassies and consulates in China， over thirty exchange activities were held covering sports， education， technology， culture and other fields. With reference to the different layers of culture， those exchange activities can be classified into three categories： material culture， system culture and value culture.
