Imagine traveling ancient trade routes transformed by modern bridges, railways, and friendships – that’s exactly what CGTN’s new series \"My Silk Road\" delivers. As the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) marks its 10th anniversary, a team of young journalists has crisscrossed 22 countries, from bustling Asian cities to remote African villages, to spotlight how this mega-project is reshaping lives.

🔍 What’s the vibe? Host Merna chats with reporters fresh off their global trek. Li Jingjing raves about Kenya’s Mombasa-Nairobi Railway – a game-changer for local businesses. Yang Chengxi shares snapshots of Indonesia’s first high-speed rail, where emoji-worthy 🚄 engineering meets cultural pride. Meanwhile, Zhu Zhu reveals heartwarming collabs between Chinese and Greek archaeologists restoring ancient sites.

💡 Why it clicks with Gen Z: This isn’t just about concrete and steel. It’s street food vendors in Serbia using Huawei apps, Nigerian students coding with Chinese mentors, and Peruvian artists blending traditional textiles with TikTok trends. As Liu Jiaxin puts it: \"The BRI isn’t building roads – it’s building dialogues.\"

🌐 TL;DR: Forget dusty history books – the new Silk Road is alive with memes, tech, and cross-continent hustle. Ready to explore?
