On July 26, the China in the Lens dialogue between Chinese and foreign network celebrities was held at Communication University of China. The dialogue was jointly organized by the Communication University of China's Chinese and Foreign Journalists Exchange Research Center and the School of Foreign Languages and Cultures. Yang Yi, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of Communication University of China, delivered a speech. After completing a nearly one-month field trip in China, 21 foreign network celebrities from 19 countries held a dialogue with 10 Chinese network celebrities on the theme of China in the Lens.
In his speech, Yang Yi expressed his expectations for this dialogue and the Internet celebrities with three sentences: Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles, Climbing high and waving, your arms do not become longer, but people can see you from far away; calling with the wind does not make your voice faster, but people can hear you clearly, and It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. He said that the travel photos of Internet celebrities have allowed netizens around the world to see a beautiful China, a cultural China, a technological China, and a fashionable China, showing a vivid, friendly, and enthusiastic image of China. The communication of Internet celebrities with personal experience and value integration has surpassed algorithms and data, and has aroused great resonance in the Internet space. I believe that through everyone's continuous display and promotion, more friends will want to experience the charm of China in person.
