Imagine Plato debating Confucius over bubble tea 🧋—that’s the vibe at the inaugural World Conference of Classics in Beijing! Over 400 scholars from 30+ countries and regions gathered this week to explore how ancient Greek philosophy and Chinese classics can solve modern problems.
Co-hosted by China and Greece, the event spotlighted everything from Stoic self-care tips 🧘♂️ to Taoist sustainability hacks 🌱. One panel even compared Homer’s Odyssey to Marvel’s Eternals—proof that hero journeys never get old! 💥
Greek philosopher Prof. Eleni Mosaidi told us: \"Classics are like TikTok trends—they keep evolving but stay relatable.\" Meanwhile, Chinese historian Dr. Li Wei highlighted how 2,000-year-old irrigation techniques could tackle today’s climate crises.
With plans for a global youth mentorship program 💡 and UNESCO collaborations in the works, this isn’t just history—it’s a roadmap for Gen Z’s future. 📜➡️🚀
