Jasper Lu, 11, isn’t your average middle schooler. Born in New York 🌆 and now living in Shanghai, he’s mastered the art of blending cultures. “China’s skyscrapers and tech feel like the future,” he says, “but this summer, I time-traveled to the past.”
Silk Road Inspires Young Vision
Jasper explored the ancient Hexi Corridor and Silk Road 🐫, marveling at desert dunes and 1,500-year-old Buddhist grottoes. “It’s like a real-life RPG quest,” he laughs. His artwork, The Wrinkle in Time, merges neon-lit cities with camel caravans – a Gen-Z love letter to cultural harmony.
“I used to think ‘heritage’ was just a word,” Jasper admits. “Now I see it everywhere – in QR-code museum tickets and robot guides explaining Tang Dynasty poetry.” His story proves you don’t need a DeLorean to appreciate history’s heartbeat in modern China 🚀📜.
