Poetry lovers, rejoice! 🌟 The 1st International Youth Poetry Festival’s academic dialogue kicked off this week, blending verses from Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Iran, and China. ✨ Themes like \"Experience of life, colors of love and hope\" and \"Eternal is new, writing a poem is to innovate\" are sparking cross-cultural convos that even Taylor Swift might swipe right on. 💬📱
Hosted by the China Writers Association and the CPC Zhenjiang Provincial Committee’s Publicity Department, the event is split between Hangzhou—a city straight out of a watercolor painting 🎨—and Beijing, running through July 24. Think workshops, readings, and collabs that meld tradition with modern flair.
Why care? Because poetry isn’t just Shakespearean sonnets anymore. This festival’s proving it’s a universal language for Gen Z to tackle big feels: hope, cultural identity, and innovation. 🚀 Plus, it’s a vibe check on how BRICS+ nations are building bridges, one stanza at a time. 🌉
