As the Spring Festival approaches, #Yiwu in east China's Zhejiang Province is working around the clock. The city has long been packaging Chinese New Year for the world, with nearly 80 percent of festive products in the global marketplace originating in Yiwu. So, what has made this small commodities hub a gateway to the world?

The answer might be found in the bustling aisles of the Yiwu International Trade Market, now upgraded as the Global Digital Trade Center. Here, the real stars are the boss ladies, female merchants who effortlessly switch between languages to serve clients from across the globe. For them, multilingualism is a toolkit to seek opportunities. And it is these ordinary yet determined merchants who have helped shape Yiwu into an open and inclusive city.

As Yiwu will host one of the sub-venues for the #2026SpringFestivalGala, the boss ladies here take on an 85-language challenge. Follow CGTN to see how they are selling the commodities to the whole world!
