🌱 Imagine climbing misty Wuyi Mountain, a UNESCO gem in southeast China’s Fujian Province, alongside enthusiastic peers from Malaysia. That’s exactly what happened in the latest episode of ’The Power of Youth+’! 🎬 Host Merna from CGTN joined young students from both nations to uncover shared cultural roots that span centuries.
Fujian, a cradle of Chinese heritage, is also the ancestral home of many Malaysian Chinese families. 🏯 Through tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and conversations, these Gen Z trailblazers explored how traditions like Confucianism and folk arts continue to shape their identities—proving culture knows no borders!
❤️ 'Our grandparents left Fujian generations ago, but the values stayed with us,' shared one Malaysian participant. Chinese students echoed the sentiment, highlighting how Malaysian influences enriched their own perspectives. 🤝 Together, they debated: ’How do ancient philosophies fit into TikTok-era globalization?’
