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 and arts, and natural scenery of these nations. Seeing China's Yangtze River, they recall the Mississippi River in the United States; seeing China's Huangguoshu Waterfall, they think of Niagara Falls in Canada; seeing China's Dongting Lake, they remember Lake Taupo in New Zealand; seeing China's Suzhou, they are reminded of Venice in Italy; seeing Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower, they envision 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—these world-famous landmarks all captivate their young hearts. Their interests are vast, and their imagination is boundless. They urgently need rich spiritual nourishment to satisfy their insatiable thirst for knowledge.
