Fan Jingyue reflects on attending the forum for a second year, finding particular inspiration in the newly introduced youth-focused events. The discussions and exercises through the Youth Forum revealed a shared willingness among her peers to build better understanding.

Beyond policy issues, Fan noted that she connected with students over shared interests such as music, food, and culture, which helps shape a more personal and positive portrait of one another. She feels these interactions are both meaningful and promising, leaving the forum with a sense of optimism, confident that her generation can cultivate cooperation and friendship between the two countries.
