Moscow is more than just iconic architecture—it’s a lively stage for Gen Z adventures! In 2025, as the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Soviet Great Patriotic War and the World Anti-Fascist War brings a reflective mood, young explorers are diving head-first into Moscow’s vibrant local life.
CGTN recently spotlighted a dynamic cultural swap where Chinese and Russian Gen Z students shared their must-do checklists. One standout journey was that of Lu Ying from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Her day in Moscow kicked off with a taste of classic Russian cottage cheese pancakes 🍴, which surprisingly reminded her of the Chinese snack known as "fried milk." A leisurely stroll through Gorky Park 🌳 and a visit to the historic Lenin Library rounded off her unforgettable cultural ride. Lu’s heartfelt experience shows that when different cultures mix, history meets modern vibrance in the most delicious way!
This cross-cultural exchange not only honors a shared history of resilience but also forges enduring partnerships between neighbors. As Gen Z from both sides swap stories and savor local flavors, they’re reimagining global connections one adventure at a time. It’s a reminder that history and heritage can fuel a bright, innovative future—together! 🚀
