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 
Generation Z Forum 2022 ("the Forum") lately. The Forum, co-held by Tsinghua 
University and China Daily, invited Chinese and foreign attendees from more 
than 30 countries to share their stories and their thoughts on where China and 
the world are heading remotely and in presence.

Liu Dibo, 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 
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.
