Competition for young people from across the globe opens a world of opportunity, Li Yingxue reports.
Amonth after her return to Venezuela, Ana Karina Rivas Nunez excitedly reflects on her journey to China where memories of lush tea fields, the martial arts of the Southern Shaolin Temple and unique culinary experiences linger vividly in her mind.
Despite the arduous two-day journey home, it was the ancient village concert in Xiadang township, Shouning county, Ningde, East China's Fujian province, that left the deepest impression.
There, young people from across the globe gathered, each adorned in traditional attire to celebrate through music and dance. This vibrant gathering transcended borders; at that time, they communicated effortlessly in a shared language — Mandarin.
Wearing a dress that echoed the colors of her national flag of yellow, blue and red, Rivas performed a spirited Venezuelan dance, embodying the spirit of cultural exchange.
