Features: In today's era of reform and opening up, the gaze of Chinese youth is no longer solely focused on the Great Wall and the vast landscapes within China. They yearn to understand the world, especially developed countries. They wish to learn about the history, current state, political systems, customs, literature, arts, and natural scenery of these nations. Seeing the Yangtze River in China, they recall the Mississippi River in the United States; seeing the Huangguoshu Waterfall in China, they think of Niagara Falls in Canada; seeing Dongting Lake in China, they remember Lake Taupo in New Zealand; seeing Suzhou in China, they envision Venice in Italy; seeing the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, they recall the Eiffel Tower in France. The in Trier, the Westminster Abbey in London, the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, the Palace of Versailles in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, the Sydney Opera House, the Chinatown in Vancouver, and the Three Sisters Peaks in the Blue Mountains—all these world-renowned landmarks captivate their young hearts. Their interests are diverse, and their imaginations are boundless. They urgently need rich spiritual nourishment to satisfy their insatiable thirst for knowledge.
