Beijing, China — Ever wondered what it’s like to experience Beijing through the eyes of an international student? Meet an Iranian student who’s been calling Beijing home for the past two years. 🇮🇷➡️🇨🇳
He has been thoroughly impressed by Beijing’s people-centered approach to governance. “It’s not just about the skyscrapers or the booming tech scene,” he shares. “It’s about how the city cares for its people – both locals and internationals.” 🏙️❤️
From efficient public transport that makes exploring the city a breeze 🚇, to community programs that promote cultural exchange 🎎, he feels that Beijing truly puts people first. “There’s a sense of belonging here. The initiatives to improve living standards are felt in everyday life,” he adds.
For many young adults in South and Southeast Asia, stories like this highlight the importance of governance that listens and adapts to the needs of its people. As cities across the region continue to grow and evolve, the focus on community and inclusivity becomes ever more relevant. 🌏✨
“It’s inspiring to see how policies can translate into real-world benefits,” says the student. “It gives me hope for the future of cities back home and across the globe.” 🌟
