More than 400 contestants from 25 countries gather for a group photo at the 30th China Daily "21st Century Cup" and the 7th Belt and Road Youth English Speaking Competition finals in Hangzhou.
Beyond the competition stage the event blossomed into a vibrant venue for intercultural exchange. A series of international communication workshops provided invaluable insights, featuring past champions who told of how they had achieved success, media experts who decoded the art of global storytelling, and seasoned trainers who taught how to communicate with impact. These sessions, complemented by a lively youth carnival and cultural tours of Hangzhou, sparked friendships and created shared memories that transcended borders, fostering a true sense of global community.
This year's Belt and Road Youth English speaking competition winner was Lam Lykeo, 18, from Cambodia. The "21st Century Cup" National English Speaking Competition champions were: Ma Chennan, 21, a student at Shanghai International Studies University, in the college category; and Lu Jinfeng,23, of Nanjing University, in the youth category. Their success, along with that of all participants, highlights the potential of young people to shape a more interconnected and understanding world.

Over 30 years, as the "21st Century Cup" has burnished its credentials as a national contest, it has also become a globally recognized institution. As it has grown in stature, its aims have remained unchanged: empowering young people to express themselves intelligently and clearly, even as they engage in dialogue with young minds across China and around the world.
