Rural revitalization through global eyes

Once overlooked, a province blessed with stunning natural beauty is rediscovered by a group of international university students in China.

Between the majestic mountains of the Nujiang Grand Canyon in Yunnan province, the river flows swiftly and the green hills stretch endlessly. A group of young people — diverse in languages and cultural backgrounds — traverse this landscape, not only captivated by its beauty but also deeply engaging with the local community.

These international students from Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) come from Canada, Russia, Belarus, France, Mongolia, South Korea, Cameroon, and the Republic of the Congo.

From March 31 to April 1, they traveled to the Nujiang Lisu autonomous prefecture to participate in a national educational practice program, where they learned about China's path to rural revitalization and witnessed vivid examples of targeted poverty alleviation.
