In a recent discussion, Huang Ping, executive vice president of the Institute of Chinese Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), shed light on the pivotal role young people play in cultural preservation and the mutual learning of civilizations.
Huang emphasized that today’s youth are not just inheritors of cultural heritage but also active participants in shaping and showcasing cultural confidence. \"They are symbols and representatives of our cultural confidence through their behaviors,\" he stated.
According to Huang, the actions and attitudes of young individuals reflect a deep-seated assurance in their cultural identity, which in turn fosters a more inclusive and understanding global community. By engaging in cultural exchanges and embracing diverse civilizations, young people contribute to a dynamic and interconnected world.
Huang’s insights highlight the importance of empowering the younger generation to take on these responsibilities, ensuring that cultural traditions are not only preserved but also evolve and thrive in a globalized society.
