Encounters across time and space
——My extraordinary experience with the East Expo
The first time I heard the words "East Expo", it was a video blogger who was enthusiastically introduced. His depiction of the spectacle of this international festival seemed to draw me into it and made me eager to experience this intoxicating event firsthand. So, I immediately searched the Internet and fully understood the origin, overview and significance of the East Expo. Gradually, I became more and more enthusiastic about this event, waiting for its moment.
It is said that the China-ASEAN Expo is an important open cooperation platform between China and ASEAN, aiming to promote friendly exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation between them. This grand event not only provides an excellent opportunity for enterprises from all over the world to showcase their business and expand their market, but also brings a variety of wonderful cultural activities to let people have a deeper understanding of the customs and cultural traditions of various countries. At the East Expo, you can see a variety of novel products and technologies, appreciate colorful culture and art, and even make some international friends to explore more business opportunities. It can be said that the East Expo is a rare exchange platform, which not only brings more business opportunities and development space for enterprises from all over the world, but also brings more cultural experience to the public. I am convinced that only through such international exchanges and cooperation can we deepen the strategic mutual trust between China and ASEAN and work together to create a more prosperous and better future.
I was fortunate to participate in two sessions of the East Expo and experienced countless high-quality exhibits and unique cultural activities. I still vividly remember that when I visited the 18th East Expo, I was full of excitement and joy, and when I passed through the security checkpoint, I was immediately shocked by the spectacular sight in front of me. Flags from exhibitors' countries were hoisted, and dazzling sequins spelled out the words "18th CHINA-ASEAN EXPO", SHOWING OFF INTELLIGENCE AND INNOVATION. There was an endless stream of visitors, all of whom were as curious as I was and couldn't wait to learn about the event.
The East Expo will show people the charm of its unique culture in an exciting way, and this rare experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. Entering the hall, the first floor is the conference and lecture venue. The exhibition hall on the second floor, where the characteristic agricultural products of various countries gather, there are a variety of tasting activities in front of each booth, including pearl almonds, black goji berries, each one is full, clean and green; There is yellow honey, mellow and sweet; There are sea cucumbers, neatly arranged in foam boxes, large and large, full and strong; Russian beef is tight and round, and anyone who sees it wants to step forward and take a bite. That day, I visited the food and agricultural products booths, and since then, Liuzhou snail powder, Lao beer, Thai coffee... All of them make me unforgettable, and I have a little more love and expectation for the East Expo. The important platform built by the East Expo has promoted special products at home and abroad and opened up the market. Although each country and region has different environmental conditions and folk culture, and thus has formed its own unique characteristics, the same thing is that no matter where they come from, the merchants participating in the exhibition are very warm and sincere. Behind every plump and sweet fruit is the masterpiece of hard work, wisdom and simplicity of the working people.
Goodbye East Expo, it is in 2022. Thick bamboo shoots, refreshing grapefruit and delicious shrimp, all kinds of organic produce make me salivate; High-tech exhibits such as artificial intelligence robots and immersive metaverse experiences opened my eyes.

Participating in this East Expo has given me a profound understanding of how to expand my imagination, build relationships and seize business opportunities. First of all, before the opening of the exhibition, I chose to participate in the "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Carnival" event. I had never been exposed to an exhibition of this magnitude before, but I realized it was a great opportunity to broaden my horizons. During this event, I participated in various interactive sessions and presentations, communicated with visitors, asked questions, shared experiences and encouraged each other. I also met some successful entrepreneurs who shared their entrepreneurial experiences, which gave me a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship and filled me with passion and confidence. Secondly, during the East Expo, I participated in some seminars related to innovation and technology. These conferences provided me with a wealth of information and ideas, allowing me to better understand the latest technology trends, industry changes, etc. In particular, some of the forums related to artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain are areas of great interest to me, so I have found institutions where I have learned relevant skills. Finally, at the exhibition, I met exhibitors from all over the world, shared my ideas and insights with them, and absorbed their enlightening suggestions, and some amazing ideas were also generated through the collision of ideas. In addition, in the process of communicating with people, my foreign language communication skills have also improved. The 2022 East Expo inspired me to become an entrepreneur, to pursue new ideas, master marketing skills, and surpass myself. Not only that, but I am also more convinced that I can contribute to society through innovative ideas and realize my value. In short, this East Expo will have a great impact on me, giving me a broader vision and stronger action. This experience prompted me to officially start my entrepreneurial journey, hoping that more and more people will join this great and opportunity-filled business.
My story with the East Expo has also come to an end, and in this experience, I have gained a lot. This event has opened a door for me to broaden my horizons, allowing me to explore the boundaries of thinking deeply, and the tenacious and innovative spirit has been deeply imprinted in my heart, becoming an inexhaustible motivation for me to pursue my dreams. We need to stick to our beliefs, constantly improve ourselves, and surpass ourselves. The story of today's East Expo will surely become our success story tomorrow!
