Alexandria A. Deacon, a sophomore majoring in journalism and advertising at Southern Illinois University in the U.S., is a typical Gen Z American — curious, enthusiastic, and eager for adventure. This winter, as preparations for China's 15th National Games ramped up, she traveled to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to experience the full energy and vitality of China's major sports events.
