Meet Samantha Victoria Susanto, an 8-year-old artist from Indonesia whose love for China’s iconic Great Wall just went global! Her vibrant artwork, created for CGTN’s China Through My Eyes Global Children’s Art Project, captures the ancient wonder in bold colors and childlike wonder.
“I painted the Great Wall because it’s one of my favorite places,” Samantha shared in a video, flashing a finger heart and beaming with pride. Her handwritten Chinese message called the landmark “one of China’s most magnificent historical structures” – a sentiment that transcends borders.
The project, featuring young creators worldwide, bridges cultures through art. Samantha’s joyful “I love China!” declaration reminds us how heritage sites connect generations – and how kids today are redrawing cultural diplomacy, one brushstroke at a time.
