History is more than dates and facts. It’s the lens through which young global citizens shape their vision of tomorrow. In the latest episode of The Power of Youth+, CGTN Digital Journalist Yang Xinmeng heads to Renmin University of China, engaging students from China, Sweden and Canada in a dialogue about World War II’s lessons.
On the Chinese mainland, students at Renmin University of China shared how archival visits, survivor accounts and school curricula shape their understanding of conflict and reconciliation.
Across cultures, the exchange revealed a shared belief: remembering wartime tragedies isn’t about dwelling on the past, but about inspiring action for a more peaceful future. Whether discussing intercultural dialogue platforms in Europe or community-based history projects in North America, the young voices converged on one key goal—mutual respect.
Set to premiere on September 30 at 8 p.m., this episode maps out the echoes of history as a springboard for global solidarity. It’s a testament to how fresh perspectives and honest conversations can light a path toward lasting peace.
