"Chinese Bridge" Bangladesh Youth Visiting China Exchange Camp, hosted by Yunnan University, kicked off on Nov 22, commencing a two-week learning and experiential journey in Southwest China's Yunnan province.

Zhao Yongzhong, the Party secretary of the School of Literature at Yunnan University, delivered a warm welcome address during the opening ceremony. He emphasized the profound significance of this event in fostering cultural exchanges and strengthening mutual understanding among the young students from both countries.

Representing all the camp participants, Sarah Afreeda Rahman, a student from the University of North-South in Bangladesh, delivered a speech at the event. Sarah expressed great anticipation for the exchange trip, hoping to gain a deeper understanding and experience of Chinese culture.

Over the next two weeks, the camp participants will engage in activities such as Chinese language learning, cultural experiences, lectures, and field visits to gain insights into China, appreciate the beauty of the Chinese language and characters, and delve into the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

Simultaneously, they would also experience the local culture, ecological culture, and ethnic minority culture of Yunnan, gaining an understanding of the current state of unity, progress, prosperity, and development among China's various ethnic groups.
