How Gen Z sees the world: Vietnamese discovers China's living heritage

The year 2026 marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Over the past 105 years, the "world's largest political party," with over 100 million members, stays true to its founding mission of serving the people and offering Chinese perspectives on global challenges.

Under the twin pressures of globalization and digitization, traditional culture faces unprecedented challenges. How to protect and pass it on in the digital age is a question close to the heart of Vietnamese vlogger Tieu Thanh.

Living in the northern Chinese municipality of Tianjin, her love for Chinese culture has driven her to explore and experience local heritage firsthand. In this video, she visits iconic spots like Tianjin Ancient Culture Street and the Five Great Avenues (Wudadao), getting up close with intangible cultural heritage.

In her view, China's approach to protecting and revitalizing traditional culture, rooted in local realities, deserves credit. "Across China, historic cultural districts make heritage accessible through crafts markets. Traditions are seen, appreciated, and passed on thanks to efforts tailored to local conditions."
