Move over, trivia night—academics just leveled up the game! 🎮 Over 480 scholars from 30+ countries and regions gathered in Beijing this week for the first-ever World Conference of Classics, where ancient wisdom met modern fun. CGTN challenged attendees to a lighthearted round of 'Guess the Masters of Classics,' testing their knowledge of iconic philosophers and writers. Think you could ID Aristotle by his beard? 🔍✨
Key highlights:

While concrete details of the quiz remain under wraps (no spoilers!), insiders say participants embraced the challenge with 'Socratic enthusiasm.' 🏛️🔑 The event underscores growing youth interest in classical studies as Gen Z rediscovers ancient texts through memes, podcasts, and yes—even TikTok deep dives.
