Nepalese Students in China Share Real-Life Experiences Through “Memories of China” Video Series
Students Launch Cultural Video Project for 70th Anniversary of Nepal China Ties
A group of Nepalese students studying across China have begun sharing their everyday experiences through a new video project titled “Memories of China.” The initiative comes as Nepal and China mark the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2025. Ten students recently spoke with the Hubei based media outlet Jimu News and recorded a series of vlogs and short videos that will be released on social media.
Thousands of Nepalese Students Acting as Informal Cultural Ambassadors
Nepal and China share a long history as neighboring countries connected by mountains and rivers. Today, thousands of Nepalese students are pursuing higher education in China. According to the students featured in this project, their time in China has allowed them to act as informal messengers of goodwill between the two nations.
Participants Represent Leading Chinese Universities and Diverse Academic Fields
The students in the “Memories of China” series come from some of China’s top universities, including Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Tongji University, Wuhan University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Sichuan University. Their academic backgrounds range widely from medicine and architecture to nuclear physics, civil engineering, and control engineering.
Showcasing China Through Student Lenses
The video series takes viewers to various cities where the students study and live. Their experiences include visiting giant pandas in Chengdu and learning about the city’s relaxed lifestyle; riding the world’s fastest elevator to the top of the 632 meter Shanghai Tower to view the skyline of the global metropolis; exploring the Terracotta Army in Xi’an and encountering centuries of history; taking a traditional boat ride on West Lake in Hangzhou to discover Chinese legends; learning Peking Opera in Beijing; tasting regional cuisines in Guangzhou and Wuhan; and visiting Wudang Mountain in Shiyan, known as the birthplace of Tai Chi.
A Digital Window Into Cross Cultural Friendship
Through these stories and videos, the students aim to present China from a personal and authentic perspective while strengthening mutual understanding between Nepalese and Chinese people. Their content will continue to appear online as part of the anniversary celebrations.
