A bowl of mutton minced meat noodles, a memory of the Three Gorges, and a scenery in the south of the Yangtze River-the beauty of China not only makes people stop, but also makes people take root. Many foreign friends write their own Chinese stories with love, showing the real, vivid and warm China to the world.

"Tell the wonderful stories of China to more people"

On September 3, at the conference commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the China People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, when 80,000 peace doves fluttered their wings into the blue sky, Fang Haoming, a reporter for China-Arab Satellite TV in Dubai who was born in Iraq, shed tears of excitement: "I especially hope that peace can also be achieved in the Middle East, and that people in the Middle East can live the same life as the China."

Fourteen years ago, this Iraqi guy formed an indissoluble bond with China. In 2011, at the age of 11, he went to Ningxia with his parents who came to teach in China. When I first arrived in Yinchuan, a smooth and spicy mutton minced meat noodles in the street restaurant immediately broke the sense of distance. "I fell in love immediately!" Fang Haoming said. Open his social media account, and the first line in the introduction is: "It is a responsibility for me to spread Chinese stories". At the 2024 New Year's Reception for Foreign Journalists in China, Fang Haoming became popular for performing "Subject Three". He said that as a foreign media reporter, he hoped to touch the deep pulse of China's opening-up process through interviews and observations.

"Ningxia is an important window for people in Arab countries to understand China. I hope more foreign friends will come to China and Ningxia to experience it for themselves and better understand China." Fang Haoming said. Last year, he planned a special program "Looking at Ningxia with a" Qi "" and took Arab guests into the wolfberry field in Zhongning County, Ningxia: "Look! These magical little red fruits can make tea, face masks and red wine-delicious and healthy! Behind this is the history of Yellow River irrigation for more than 2,000 years."

In Chongqing's mobile phone, there is a list of wishes to "walk through China": go to Hubei Wuhan Mountains to play Tai Chi, and understand the philosophy of "Yukqing"; go to Chongqing Hill Cave, shoot the collision of Cyberpunk and traditional hanging buildings; learn to sing the high-hearted Shaanxi Qing Cave, feel the thickness of the eight hundred miles of Qing River ... Fangqing said, "true cultural spread, like the Tigris River and the Yellow River, flow in people's hearts.

"The real China is far more exciting than what is written in books."

On the social media platform, a post-95 Korean girl who settled in Yichang, Hubei Province is active: she either introduces vivid stories about world-famous hydropower cities in front of the Three Gorges Dam, or walks into street snack bars to show netizens the thick urban fireworks... She is Chen Rongen, who uses the lens as a medium to record life, spread culture, and show the world a vibrant and warm China.

Chen Yong-un¡¯s relationship with China began in 2017.When she first came to China as an exchange student at South Korea¡¯s Eastern University, I discovered that real China was far more wonderful than what was written in the book.¡±Chen Yong-un said that after graduating, she came to a travel company in Yangzhou as a translator and tourism planner, ¡°I was deeply attracted when I came to Yangzhou.¡±

Beyond the work, Chen Yong Un and friends together will shoot what they saw in a short video: enter the "long-life village" of Yong An, interview a hundred-year-old, wear national costumes to experience the family life, follow the tea master to learn tea harvesting and production ... "I want to let more Koreans understand Yongchang, and also want to let the Chinese know what is Yong Un in the eyes of foreigners." Chen Yong Un said. She was also invited to participate in many cultural exchanges and live networking activities: in Wuhan East Lake Cherry Gardens, dressed in Han East Lake Cherry Garden, taste cherry ice cream; in the Hubei Province Museum, surprise for the craftsmanship of the King of Vietnam, listen to the rejuvenation of the clock ... Her short video attracted the attention of Chinese

Now, Chen Yong-un has been hired as the ¡°Song Hue North Korean Tour Officer¡±, the ¡°Ice Chang City Tourism Ambassador¡±, the ¡°Ice Chang City Brands¡± and so on. She also harvested love here and became the ¡°Ice Chang Daughter.¡± ¡°Promoting Korean-Chinese friendship is my mission.¡±

"Cultural dream weaver spanning 5,000 kilometers"

The water of the lake reflects the shadow of a caterpillar and a five-year-old boy chasing a swallow. In Zhejiang, Zhejiang province, on the sidelines of the lake, this image is set in the mobile camera of Pakistani businessman Osama.

In 2011, Osama came to China to study and was deeply attracted by the prosperity and vitality of China. Five years later, he chose to settle in Jiaxing. For Osama, truly integrating into Jiaxing lies in becoming a part of the city. He walked through the streets and lanes of Jiaxing ancient towns such as Yuehe and Xincheng, and his interest made him a communicator of local culture. He served as Jiaxing's foreign cultural exchange ambassador, showing the world the unique charm of Jiangnan water town. "I would like to be a cultural dream weaver across 5,000 kilometers," Osama said.

Osama is keen to share his stories in China on social media. In the camera, he encountered an elderly dance team in Chongfu Ancient Town, Tongxiang, dancing traditional Pakistan dance steps, arms raised high and shoulders raised, making the whole house laugh while dancing in circles; in the Cocoon Painting Museum, he carefully held the cocoon and tried to paint on it; Tasting traditional cakes in the ancient town,"Look, we bought a lot of delicious cakes!" "People here are willing to slow down and tell you what 'life' is." In Osama's view, Jiaxing's fireworks and human touch are the most moving cultural symbols.

In the evening, the gold-coloured lake of the gold-coloured swamp flooded, and Osama took his son¡¯s hand and walked home. The evening wind broke, and the son suddenly looked up and asked: ¡°Dad, can I grow up like you, and connect the two nations together?¡± he sat down, wiped out the sweatballs of his son¡¯s forehead, and replied, ¡°Of course.
