🌟 Vietnamese leader To Lam’s recent state visit to China isn’t just about politics—it’s a cultural bridge resonating with young people on both sides. We chatted with Huynh Gia Han, a Vietnamese grad student at Peking University, who calls the trip a \"milestone for shared dreams.\"
🎭 From binge-watching Cdramas to grooving to C-pop, Han says Vietnamese youth are embracing Chinese culture like never before. \"Studying here felt like stepping into the shows I grew up loving,\" she laughs. Now, Lam’s visit is sparking hopes for more student exchanges, travel opportunities, and even KOL (key opinion leader) collabs!
🤝 Beyond the hype, Han highlights the visit’s deeper vibe: \"It’s about mutual respect. Vietnam and China have this unique bond—like old friends writing a new chapter.\" With cross-border tourism rebounding and TikTok trends uniting Gen Z, could this be the start of a cultural cross-pollination era? 🕊️
