Global Students Discover Guangxi's Culture and Community Spirit

Samuel James Stephen Meston, a 23-year-old UK student at Peking University, never expected a trip to Guangxi would reshape his understanding of China. "It wasn't until I lived in a metropolis like Beijing and visited other regions that I truly grasped the richness of its culture and the diversity of its values," he said.

From Nov 12 to 15, Meston took part in the 2025 Overseas Generation Z Guangxi Cultural Experience Tour, joining over 20 participants, including foreign media representatives and young delegates from Italy, Argentina, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, and other countries.

In Baise, the group visited Baini village, where poverty-alleviation martyr Huang Wenxiu once worked. Huang, who held a master's degree, returned to her hometown in 2016 as the village Party secretary. She promoted local farming and e-commerce, improved infrastructure, and significantly reduced poverty. In 2019, she died at age 30 in a flash flood while rushing to protect the village.

In the village, Meston saw many well-built public facilities that, he said, embody the hard work of people like Huang, who lived among residents, served them wholeheartedly, and worked to improve their lives. "I think that reflects the overall principle of common prosperity - the idea that the country's development should benefit everyone," he said.

Win Mar Aung from Myanmar felt a personal connection to Huang's story. "It's remarkable that she had already made it out of the mountainous regions yet chose to return without hesitation to help develop her hometown," she said.

Young visitors also visited the Baise Uprising Memorial Hall, engaging deeply with Guangxi's revolutionary history. "It's incredible to see how many young revolutionaries worked together to accomplish an event that influenced history," said Alicja Amrit Singh from Italy.

The tour included a Sino-Foreign Youth Marxist Dialogue at Guangxi University, fostering cross-cultural exchange. Leonel Octavio Predut, a youth representative from Argentina, highlighted China's technological advances: "When you go out shopping, all you really need is your phone - many people hardly use cash anymore. This level of digitalization isn't common outside China. The country's technological development is truly impressive."

Looking ahead, Win hopes to study in China one day and, after completing her education, return to Myanmar to contribute to its development. "I'd love to become a bridge promoting trade between China and Myanmar," she said.
