At the 2023 Nishan Forum on World Youth held in Qufu City of east China's Shandong Province, South African vlogger Jerry Goode says that "Friends from afar" is one of the first Confucius' quote he heard while learning about the philosophy, which expressed people's joyful feeling on the arrival of friends. With that spirit, Goode looks forward to communicating with friends from all over the world and understanding and accepting different cultures.
