Beijing During the Forum

Student Liu Dibo from Tsinghua University ("Tsinghua") shared his experiences

of volunteering at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games during The Global

than 30 countries to share their stories and their thoughts on where China and

the world are heading remotely and in presence.

Liu Dibo, who studies at Tsinghua's School of Environment, spoke to the

audience about being a volunteer at both the 2022 Winter Olympics and

Paralympics, during which he was an assistant to Francesco Ricci Bitt,

president of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations. Liu

spoke about how he cultivated a 'friendship of generations' with Bitt, how he

told him how much China had changed since Beijing hosted the 2008 Summer

Olympics, and how he shared him about Chinese culture and places of interest in

Beijing. After he had returned to his home country, Liu was thrilled to receive

a letter of gratitude from Bitt, thanking his 'outstanding friend' for making

his 'stay at Beijing 2022 enjoyable and easygoing' and inviting him to the next

Winter Olympics, which will be held in Italy in 2026.

Youths from countries including Russia, India, South Africa, France, Egypt,

Georgia, and the United States, gave speeches. By bringing together youths from

all around the world, the forum showcased the positive experiences of young

people striving to fulfill their potential.

Qu Yingpu, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, gave a speech on the

forum to encourage youth all over the world to promote the construction of "a

community with a shared future for mankind" and encouraged young people to try

to better understand China.

Qiu Yong, secretary of the CPC Tsinghua University Committee and chairman of

Tsinghua University Council, said during his opening remarks: "The youth

represent hope and are the architects of the future. A better shared future

depends on the friendships of young people continuing from generation to

generation."

Other youths that spoke at the forum included Nik Gu, a Russian who is studying

international relations, and a global student ambassador at Tsinghua

University. Gu spoke about how he had seen rapid development in China in recent

years. Having lived in China for 17 years, Gu said he has been deeply

influenced by the cultural concept of "harmony without uniformity" and called

on young people to join hands worldwide to promote a "a community with a shared

future for mankind".

Tamar Kvlividze, a Georgian vlogger living in China, told the forum how she

hosts videos on social media platforms in both China and Georgia on her

experiences of living in China. Her channels have proven to be very popular

both in China and Georgia, she said, and she expressed her hope of deepening

cultural ties between the two countries.

Minh Thao Chan, a French PhD student majoring in autonomous driving at Tsinghua

University, talked of his thoughts and understanding of the "Chinese path to

modernization", and how he admires how China has placed an emphasis on

developing the fields of science, technology and education.
