Jining, September 9 (Zhongxin Net) (Gong Hongyu) "As a travel planner, I have been to many villages in China, which are clean and exquisite, and very different from what many people know about rural China. The most touching thing for me is to shoot the style of China's rural revitalization into a short video, so that everyone can know me and see such a beautiful place in China. Chen Rongen, a short video blogger from South Korea, shared her experiences of traveling and shooting videos in China with the audience at the Nishan World Youth Forum on the 27th.

As one of the links of the 9th Nishan World Civilization Forum, the theme of this year's Nishan World Youth Forum is "Youth Work Together to Promote the Common Values of All Mankind", and the guests conducted in-depth discussions on the mission of youth in the dissemination and exchange of civilization.

In the context of deepening Sino-foreign exchanges, more and more young people like Chen Rongen have spontaneously become messengers of cultural exchange and dissemination with the help of Internet platforms and new media forms. They live in a rapidly developing China, have witnessed rapid changes, and record and disseminate Chinese stories in their own way.

Recalling his travel experience, Chen Rongen clearly remembers a collection in Longfeng Village, Yuan'an County, Hubei Province. At that time, a centenarian grandmother told her that now the policy in China's rural areas is getting better and better, and farmers eat well, dress well, and play well. The old man's smile allowed Chen Rongen to see the great changes brought to the countryside by China's poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and also let her see China that is very different from what foreigners know. "I think there must be many more similar examples in China, and I want to shoot and share these stories a lot." Chen Rongen said.

"There are so many interesting things in China. I realized that Chinese culture not only needs to be learned and explored, but also passed on and disseminated. Ling Xiao, a doctoral student at Nankai University in Egypt, said bluntly that after living in China for several years, he has become an "admirer" of Chinese culture. China's Belt and Road Initiative has brought broad opportunities to young people around the world, including cross-border academic exchanges. In this era, young people should have an open mind and innovative thinking, learn from the cultures of different countries, and promote cultural exchanges and dissemination.

Li Chunlin, co-founder and general manager of Music Travel Love LLC and a student of Shandong University of Finance and Economics, mentioned that young people should use the power of the Internet to show the real and lovely China to the world in a younger and more down-to-earth way. Lei Xiying, president of the Fujian Self-Media Association and a well-known commentator on current affairs, also said that the closer a country and nation are to the center of the world stage, the more important it is to attach importance to culture will inevitably reach a new height, and it is indispensable for young people to continue to promote cultural inheritance and development.

"At present, young people have become the main force in using new media to promote cultural exchanges and mutual learning. As a foreign youth, I will continue to insist on sharing content and contribute the strength of our youth to the cause of cultural exchange. Chen Rongen said. (End)
