Every time I return to China, I feel very happy, I can see my family and improve my Chinese skills. I have been to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and other cities before, and I am looking forward to learning history and experiencing technology in Hefei this time. Li Jinyao, a Chinese-Australian teenager, said.

Li Jinyao said that although overseas Chinese teenagers come from all over the world, they have the same Chinese blood flowing in their bodies. In the next few days, they will learn and grow together, share and communicate with each other, and build friendships across mountains and seas. Don't forget your ancestors, don't forget your roots, be the inheritor of Chinese culture, and work together to build a more diverse world.

Chinese teenagers should learn about Chinese culture and not lose it. Li Shiman, a Chinese-Australian teenager, is a "science and technology fan", and she is full of expectations for this Hefei science and technology research trip.

Guo Jing, the leader of the winter camp, introduced that the four treasures of Anhui's study are quite popular overseas, and rice paper and inkstone have become the first choice when using them. This is also her first time in Anhui, and she was deeply impressed by Huizhou businessmen through TV programs, and was moved by their hard-working, moral and trustworthy qualities, "This time I came to Anhui to have a deeper understanding of 'Hui Camel'." ”

Li Shiyun, chairman of the Anhui Provincial Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, said that young people of Chinese descent overseas are the new generation of overseas Chinese, an important link for friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries in the future, and an important force for inheriting and developing the excellent traditional Chinese culture and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. The "Journey to Roots" winter camp has built a platform for overseas Chinese teenagers to learn and experience Chinese culture and enhance their roots. (ENDS).
