我写这封信是想表达我对能够访问贵国这一珍贵机会的深深感激之情。多年来，我一直意识到自己对你们国家的了解是有限的，甚至往往存在误解。虽然我不责怪他人，但我必须承认自己曾经毫无保留地接受过这些片面的叙述。正因如此，我更加感激您和您的团队，正是通过你们卓越的项目，我得以真正地了解和感受中国。

这次在中国的旅行，犹如一场心灵的蜕变。探索贵国丰富的文化、悠久的历史、动人的音乐、舞蹈、语言、茶文化以及美味的佳肴，每一天都让我倍感荣幸与快乐。沉浸在如此深厚的文化中，对我来说是一份难得的特权，我将永远珍藏这一宝贵的经历。此行让我更加明白，"中华人民共和国"这个名字是多么贴切，它不仅体现了国家的伟大，更体现了人民的精神和坚韧不拔。这里人们的善良、目标感以及笑容中传递的温暖，深深打动了我。这次经历让我充满了分享和传播的动力，想要让更多的人了解我所遇到的中国——一个充满深度和人性的国家。

我很高兴能与此次旅行中结识的一群了不起的学生和参与者们共同分享这段旅程。2024年12月9日至19日举办的“世界青年看中国”项目活动给我留下了深刻的印象。从我们访问的省市到我们所感受到的热情，每一刻都难以忘怀。漳州职业技术学院的开幕式以及志愿者孩子们的热情好客让我深受感动。我们参观了闽江，游览了厦门和美丽的鼓浪屿，走访了泉州的开元寺和浔埔村——我们在那里穿上了传统的“簪花”服饰——这一切我将终生难忘。在福建省会福州，我们参观了省博物馆，访问了海丝国际旅游中心，随后沿闽江进行了有茶道仪式的夜间游船。我们体验中国高铁前往武夷山，并观看了《印象大红袍》的现场表演。从南平到上饶的旅程，我们参加了一个小组成员的汉婚仪式表演（虽然是模拟的）并享受了一场精彩的篝火晚会。这是一个奇妙的地方！每一次与中国人的互动活动都在我的心中留下了深刻的印象。

衷心祝愿大家节日愉快！期待不久的将来再次见到你们——我已经开始想念大家了！

怀着爱意和温暖的问候，

I am writing to express my gratitude for the incredible opportunity to visit your country. For many years, I realized I had been taught a limited and often misguided view of your world. While I don’t place blame on others, I take responsibility for accepting those narratives without question. This is precisely why I am so profoundly thankful to you and your amazing program for allowing me to truly see and understand what your country, China, is all about. 

My journey through China was nothing short of transformative. Exploring your rich culture, history, music, dances, language, tea flavors, and incredible cuisine was a daily delight and an honor. Immersing myself in the essence of your nation felt like a privilege—one I will treasure for a lifetime. 

This experience has shown me why your country’s name, "The People’s Republic of China," is so fitting. It reflects the spirit and resilience of its people, their kindness, sense of purpose, and the warmth in their smiles. I am inspired to share my experiences and spread the truth about the beauty, depth, and humanity I encountered throughout my travels.

I loved sharing this journey with the incredible group of students and participants I got to know on this trip。

The "Global View of China" Youth Program Network, held from December 9–19, 2024, was extraordinary in every sense. From the provinces and cities we visited to the warm welcomes we received, every moment was unforgettable. In Fujian, Zhangzhou City, the fantastic opening ceremony at the Vocational and Technical College, along with the kindness of the volunteer kids, overwhelmed me with gratitude. Visiting the Longjiang River, exploring Xiamen and the stunning Gulangyu Island, and traveling to Quanzhou to visit the Twin Pagodas, the temple, and Xunpu Village—where we dressed in "Flower Pinning" attire—were experiences I will cherish forever.

In Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, we explored museums, visited the Maritime Silk and International Tourism Center, and then went on a night cruise with a tea ceremony on board along the Minjiang River. We experienced the high-speed rail to Mount Wuyiand watched the live performance of Dahongao. Travel from Nanping to Shangrao.

We attended a wedding ceremony (fake one) for one of our group members and enjoyed a fantastic bonfire show. It was Fantastic Place! Each activity and interaction with the Chinese people left a vivid impression on my heart.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season! I hope to see you again soon—I already miss you all!

With love and warm regards,

Monica Darowish

Heartfelt Thanks for an Unforgettable

Cultural Exchange Experience

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. As the curtains close on what has been an extraordinarily enriching cultural exchange event, I felt compelled to reach out and extend my deepest gratitude to you and your team for orchestrating such a magnificent platform for international students, including my son.

The opportunity for my son to immerse himself in the cultural depths of China has been a transformative experience for him. The meticulous planning, the selection of activities, and the thoughtfulness in pairing students with local people were evident and much appreciated. Your dedication to fostering cultural understanding and appreciation among young minds does not go unnoticed.

Special thanks to all coordinators, for their tireless efforts, support, and guidance throughout this journey. China passion for cultural exchange and team commitment to creating an inclusive, educational, and enjoyable environment for all participants have truly made a significant impact. The knowledge and memories my son has gained from this experience are invaluable and will undoubtedly shape his perspective and understanding of the world in the years to come.

Please convey my sincere appreciation to everyone involved in the planning and execution of the event. It is clear that this success is a result of teamwork and the collective effort of many dedicated individuals.

Thank you once again for giving my son the chance to be a part of something so special. We are forever grateful for the memories created and the friendships forged during his time in China. We look forward to staying in touch and hopefully participating in more of your remarkable programs in the future.

Warm regards,

Capt Khurram Zaidi
