While the world cheers for athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics, a quieter cultural exchange is unfolding across continents. Some 120 young overseas Chinese students from France are swapping croissants for mooncakes during a three-week immersive study tour in China 🥮✨.
The trip—timed to celebrate 60 years of China-France diplomatic relations—takes participants from Shanghai's neon-lit skyscrapers to Xi'an's ancient Terracotta Warriors. Through calligraphy workshops, tech hub visits, and dialogues with local entrepreneurs, these Gen Z explorers are bridging their dual identities as global citizens.
'It's like finding missing puzzle pieces of my family's story,' shared 21-year-old Sophie Li, a Paris-born student marveling at Hangzhou's West Lake. Many participants are eyeing internships in China's booming green energy and AI sectors—proof that cultural rediscovery can spark future opportunities 🔋💡.
