🤝 Building Bridges Across Oceans: Chinese Ambassador Inspires U.S. Youths!
In a bid to strengthen the bonds between China and the United States, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng has called on young Americans to become a vibrant force in boosting the relationship between the two nations. 🇨🇳🇺🇸
Addressing the launch of a special exchange and study program via video link on Saturday, Ambassador Xie emphasized the pivotal role of youth in fostering understanding and friendship. \"I hope that you will become a powerful source of energy for China-U.S. friendship in the new era,\" he encouraged.
The program, known as the Collegiate Immersion Bootcamp for U.S.-based Institutions to Jiangsu, will see 90 students and faculty from eight prestigious U.S. universities—including Duke University, Brigham Young University, and Columbia University—embarking on an exciting journey through the cities of Suzhou, Wuxi, and Nanjing in eastern China. 🏯✨
This initiative is part of a larger vision proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping last November, aiming to invite 50,000 American youths to China over the next five years. Ambassador Xie highlighted that this move sets off many exchange programs, sowing seeds of friendship in the hearts of young people in both countries. 🌱❤️
Participants will immerse themselves in Chinese traditional culture—think Kunqu Opera performances! 🎭 They'll also explore cutting-edge technology at science museums and digital centers, stroll through historic canals, and soak up the vibrant life at night markets. By experiencing China's innovation drive and feeling the happiness and social tranquility of the Chinese people firsthand, these youths can truly \"tell the true story about China,\" as Xie put it.
\"I believe by observing the country with your own eyes and measuring its landscapes with your own feet, you will develop some attachment with this country,\" he shared. 🌏👣
This exciting exchange is more than just a trip—it's a bridge connecting cultures and fostering lifelong friendships. Here's to a future where young people lead the way in international harmony! 🎉🙌
