GATHER IN TAISHAN AND LISTEN TO THE YOUNG HEARTBEAT -- SEE THE GLOBAL ＂GENERATION Z＂ REPRESENTATIVES

At the global "Generation Z" Taishan Dialogue, Delkhasteh Abalfazl from Iran brought a poem "Watching the Mountain" to recite, which won the enthusiastic applause of the global "Generation Z" representatives on the scene, and also drew a successful conclusion for their unforgettable trip to Taishan.

Look up to the height of Mount Tai and listen to the young heartbeat. On July 18, the 2024 Global "Generation Z" Taishan Dialogue was held at the foot of Mount Tai. Eleven "Generation Z" representatives from the United States, Russia, Germany, South Korea, Malaysia and other countries and regions experienced the beautiful scenery and profound culture of Mount Tai, witnessed the achievements of China's development, and talked about the new words of the future through the way of marching experience and face-to-face conversation.

Uriarte Huang Maria Regina De Jesus Dominga from the United States graduated from Sun Yat sen University and has studied Chinese for a long time. The climbing of Mount Tai gave her a more vivid understanding of the word "mountain and water" for the first time. "Mount Tai in the clouds is very beautiful. There are mountains and water, just like a paradise. I will come again later, absolutely," said Maria.

The shadow play of Taishan with strong cultural color also impressed Maria. Under the guidance of Fan Zheng'an, the representative successor of Taishan Shadow Play, a national intangible cultural heritage, she carefully learned to operate shadow play. "You see, I can use it to wave weapons now, but it's still a bit difficult to turn somersaults." Maria introduced herself to the reporter while waving the stick of shadow puppet in her hand.

Harmony but difference, beauty and common. On the day of the global "Generation Z" Taishan Dialogue, young people of different colors, cultures and languages gathered together to convey a vibrant heartbeat full of youth power and longing for harmony and prosperity. Tang Jinnan, Qin Zhiya and Zhou Ying, three scholars from China and South Korea, have deeply interpreted the Taishan spirit from their respective perspectives; Six young people from China and the United States held a round table dialogue and spoke freely about the United Nations International Day of Dialogue among Civilizations.

"The relationship between countries lies in people to people", and "people to people" should start from young people. In recent years, the Global "Generation Z" Dialogue has become an important way for countries to understand each other and establish friendly relations. From the "Belt and Road" to the "72/144 hour transit visa free", China actively integrates into the international development situation, constantly broadens the channels of foreign exchange, and improves the level of opening up. As a world cultural and natural heritage, Mount Tai is embracing friends from all over the world with a broad and confident mind.
