This year’s conference focused on youth and cultural communication. For the first time, a special overseas group session was held in Singapore, and a new shortvideo track, “See China Through One Thing,” was added to encourage contestants to tell China’s stories in more creative ways. Centering on themes such as “China’s Development and My Future” and “In China, for the World,” participants shared their experiences and observations about education, traditional culture, technological innovation, and more, drawing on their personal journeys.

The event organizers said they hope to use this platform to promote exchanges between Chinese and foreign youth and help more people understand and get to know China through stories.
