Hey global citizens, big news from Beijing! At the opening ceremony of the 13th World Peace Forum at Tsinghua University, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng delivered a stirring message that resonates with our generation’s hunger for cooperation and progress.
In his engaging speech, Han Zheng pointed out that our world is undergoing rapid changes and facing uncertainties with regional and international tensions on the rise. He stressed that drawing lessons from history – with 2025 marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the founding of the United Nations – can help guide today’s global efforts.

He sees these as tools to build a fairer, more stable international environment built on mutual respect, a UN-centered system, and genuine multilateral cooperation.
The forum, attended by around 400 participants – including renowned figures like former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and former Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy – celebrated a shared goal: building a peaceful and prosperous future. 🌍🤝
From news enthusiasts and young professionals to students and travelers, Han Zheng's call to action invites us all to take part in shaping a united world. Let's hold on to that vision and work together for a brighter tomorrow!
