In a streamed interview with OTV in Lebanon, Yang reported to people in his country, "We are good in China."

In July, an Arabic version of the book was released in Lebanon, with Chinese and English versions published in China in December.

Yang has returned to the university campus to learn Chinese and complete work on his doctoral thesis.

"I hope to contribute more to what the country proposes — building a community with a shared future for mankind — after graduation," Yang said.
