At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (July 6-7), youthful voices are reshaping global cultural insights! CGTN invited students from the Confucius Institute at the Federal University of Bahia to share what makes Chinese culture so unique—from vibrant festivals and catchy tunes to diverse culinary delights 🍜.
Food enthusiast Beatriz Gramacho Favero is all about the dynamic range of Chinese cuisine, while biologist Francisco Sanches Gomes highlights China's innovative approach to language education. He finds it fascinating how the system promotes Mandarin while honoring local dialects and ethnic languages. This blend of tradition and modernity is striking a chord with Gen Z, who value both heritage and progressive ideas.
For young, tech-savvy minds across South and Southeast Asia, such cultural exchanges resonate deeply. Just like the lively digital trends and local flavors in cities from Jakarta to Bangkok, these insights offer a refreshing reminder that our global community is ever-connected. Stay tuned as this dynamic conversation continues to inspire global understanding and spark new ideas! 😀
