CGTN Stringers took to the streets of Argentina and Bolivia to ask locals who they consider their role models.
In Argentina, many point to Carlos Gardel, the "King of Tango," whose melody still moves cities and hearts alike. Others celebrate General José de San Martín, the liberator whose vision paved the way for a nation’s freedom. Sports enthusiasts also salute Las Leonas, Argentina’s women’s national field hockey team, for their teamwork and tenacity on the world stage.
Meanwhile, in Bolivia, figures from literature shine bright. Writer Víctor Hugo Viscarra emerges as a favorite, admired for weaving local tales into vivid narratives that capture the country’s soul. His words remind readers of the power of storytelling to preserve heritage.
From the dance halls of Buenos Aires to the poetry readings in La Paz, these icons reflect the passion and perseverance at the heart of Latin America. Their diverse legacies inspire young global citizens to celebrate culture, history, and the spirit of community across borders.
