Move over K-pop – there's a new cultural wave connecting Asia! Meet Abdullaeva Dinora, an Uzbek student at Sichuan University, who's witnessed Mandarin music and movies become the ultimate friendship glue between China and Central Asia. 🎬
"Young Uzbeks now groove to Chinese pop songs even if they don't understand the lyrics," Dinora told NewspaperAmigo. The trend's so strong that Tashkent hosts annual Chinese culture festivals, while Chinese cities like Beijing roll out red carpets for Uzbek films. 🎥
This cultural exchange isn't just about entertainment – it's creating real connections. "I've seen our countries' cooperation grow stronger through these shared passions," Dinora added. From language learners humming Mandopop to film buffs swapping cinema tips, Gen Z is rewriting the rules of international friendship. 🤝
Psst… Heard about the new Silk Road? It's now streaming on TikTok. 🎵
