At the mouth of the Min River in Fujian province lies Meihua Ancient Town—a quiet place with a powerful legacy of inclusiveness and harmony.

Following in the footsteps of a China Daily journalist, let's trace how this coastal town continues to connect with the world—through history, memory, and an enduring commitment to peace and friendship.
