Jung Hae-dam from South Korea spent her middle and high school years in China before returning to her country to study Chinese Area Studies at university. From feeling reassured by airport dispatcher helping travelers find taxis when she first arrived to experiencing the warmth and kindness of her Chinese classmates, her time in China helped her overcome the uncertainties of living abroad, adapt to a new environment and build friendships across cultures.

Today, Jung works as a legal assistant at a law firm, handling trademark matters for Chinese companies. Her fluency in Mandarin and understanding of Chinese culture have become valuable assets in her professional life. She believes regional economic cooperation mechanisms such as APEC can help bridge differences in legal systems and business practices, creating more opportunities for cross-border cooperation. Looking ahead, Jung hopes young people from China and South Korea can move beyond short visits and cultural exchanges to collaborate on shared projects, exchange ideas and become partners in each other's growth.
