Beijing just got a whole lot more poetic! 🎉 On Wednesday, the first International Youth Poetry Festival's Special Session for BRICS Countries kicked off, bringing together young wordsmiths from across the globe. 🌍✍️
Talented poets from China, Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, and even beyond—with friends from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, and Ethiopia—gathered to delve deep into the magic of poetry. They shared thoughts on how poetry shapes our lives, its timeless value, and how we can keep it fresh and innovative. 📝💡
These passionate creatives believe that poetry is a shining thread weaving through the rich tapestries of their cultures. They’re all about embracing their roots while also expanding and enriching their national poetic scenes. After all, poetry has the power to light up the world and brighten our lives! 🌟
But it wasn't just about individual countries flexing their poetic muscles. The festival highlighted the incredible history of cultural exchange among BRICS nations. Poetry, they agreed, is a universal bridge connecting different nations and peoples. 🌉✨
Looking ahead, these young poets are all fired up for more collaborations. They hope to see even more events that deepen cultural ties, promote mutual understanding, and bring people closer together through the beautiful art of poetry. 🎶🤝
