At a lively reception, I looked at my nephew and his American wife, Catherine, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart: this is an unexpected celebration, and it is also a cultural exchange that crosses borders.
During the banquet, Catherine suddenly stood up, greeted everyone in stiff Chinese, and expressed her strong interest in Chinese culture. The sudden request sparked laughter from the guests, but they did not hesitate to offer to help her integrate into Chinese culture.
As a result, a unique cultural exchange activity was launched. In a relaxed atmosphere, Catherine was introduced to Chinese table manners, social skills, and a variety of traditional festivals and folk tales. Although Catherine comes from a foreign country, her passion and curiosity about Chinese culture is palpable.
By the end of the banquet, Catherine had a deeper understanding of Chinese culture, and the guests had a better understanding of each other. This is very gratifying to me, and it also makes me more convinced that in this information age, communication and integration across borders will make the world a better place.
