She is from Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, a garden city that shows the friendship between China and Zambia.
In September 2020, The Lusaka-born, American-based Zambian science fiction writer Mwali Seppel won for the first time the highest award for British science fiction, Arthur Seiper. C. Clark Award. Her debut film, "Ancient Drifting", won the title of Jury President Andrew Scott. M. Butler's absolute favor. In the latter's view, this "epic work" that blends historical processes, magical reality and science fiction, "examines colonialism from the inside and finishes with the science fiction elements of everyday life".
Even, in the perception of last year's award winner Tad Thompson, Mwali Seppel's thinking in "Ancient Drifting" is "the greatest African writer novel of the 21st century": "Take off your hat to pay tribute, her award is well deserved." "The popularity of Mwaly Seppel's book is just one part of the rise in the rise of Zambian women. Next, the girls of the Zambian women's football team took over the dancing Mwali Seppel and became the dazzling African star.
In the final of the Women's Qualifiers for the African Region of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Zambia beat the inevitable Cameroon by virtue of scoring more goals away from home, and for the first time in history, it won the ticket for the Olympic games. The Encolo Stadium, which stands in Lusaka, bears witness to the great moment when Zambia women's football team made history. On April 21, the group draw for the women's event at the Tokyo Olympics was officially announced, with Zambia, which is also the fourth-place team with New Zealand and Chile, and the Netherlands, Brazil and China in Group F.

Located in the southeast of Zambia, Lusaka, at an altitude of about 1400 meters, in the context of the national economy based on copper mining, Lusaka is also known as the "copper capital" because of its resource exports with Tanzania. Historically, this industrial and commercial center was ruled by European colonists until Zambia declared its independence in 1964 and Lusaka was officially designated as its capital.
On October 29, 1964, Zambia established diplomatic relations with our country, and Lusaka, which has an important position in the country, has maintained extremely close ties with us since then. It is worth mentioning that the Tanzan Railway, built in 1970-1975, was supported and assisted by our country. Zambia's copper exports have also gained more convenient transportation conditions. To this day, the Tanzan Railway is still one of the largest foreign aid projects in China.
As early as ten years ago, Zhang Zhe, a reporter for Southern Weekend, wrote in "The Real Existence of China in Zambia": "In the capital Lusaka, a typical Zambian citizen is likely to find that every aspect of his life in the day will be inextricably linked to the strange and familiar thing of 'China'... The local traditional food, Hima, is made from Chinese state-owned enterprises 50 kilometers from Lusaka, the bustling commercial street of Cairo Road, where the bank of China's signs are shining; supermarket chains are Chinese, and Kamwala, the largest shopping market in the area, is also built by Chinese companies. ”
Known as the "Garden City", Lusaka also has many high-quality tourist resources: the amphitheater, the University of Zambia, the Mulongush Mansion, Rhodes Park and the Mondavanga Botanical Garden are all regular check-in places for tourists.

Barbara Banda, who was born in Lusaka like Mwali Seppel, is the current facade of the Zambian women's national football team. Although only 21 years old, she has traveled to Spain and Chinese women's football and has already worn the captain's armband of the national team. Three years ago, Barbara Banda, who played in the 2014 U17 World Cup, made her national team debut for Zambia, and then she continued to work hard to secure a main position in the national team.
As the first female footballer in the history of Zambia women's football to play in Europe, Barbara Banda's skills in the boxing ring are equally amazing, and since entering the boxing world at the age of 16, she has won all five professional matches, showing her proud talent. Now Barbara Banda doesn't have to regret any decision she has made: she has scored enough wonderful goals in the green fields of Europe and Asia compared to the short boxing scenes.
At the beginning of last year, after passing through the lockdown period of quarantine, Banda, who was transferred from Spain's Logroño, put on the jersey of the Shanghai women's football team. Faced with a completely unfamiliar environment, the Zambian captain did not have any barriers or stagnation, and her goal scores came one after another. In one season, Banda, the arch figure of Shanghai women's football, won the Golden Boot with 18 goals, including three hat-tricks. The Stable Shanghai Women's Football Team also relied on her play and won the third place in the Women's Super League.
Before playing in Tokyo, Banda once said: "We have faith, other teams are ready." As long as we are united, anything is possible. Yes, my goal is to make a mark and make people remember my name. We want to seize the opportunity to write records as much as we can. And when she wore a hat in the first game 3-10 load Lan I, and the second battle 4-4 draw China yi again wore a hat, she did it.
