Chinese students sheltering in Kyiv shared an urgent video plea for peace over the weekend as explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital. Their message, filmed inside an air raid shelter, described \"over 50 shelling incidents overnight\" as tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalated.
\"We hope people back home can use social media to amplify calls for peace,\" one student said, highlighting the role of digital activism in global crises. The group emphasized their solidarity with \"all civilians affected by war\" while expressing gratitude for support from the Chinese mainland.
The viral appeal resonates with young activists worldwide who leverage platforms like TikTok and Weibo for grassroots diplomacy. As one student put it: \"Our generation’s voices matter—even from bomb shelters.\"
