Xi'an hosts Belt and Road youth for Chinese Language Day
During the event's opening ceremony, a smart platform to boost the university's Chinese language course was launched.
The event included several activities, including music and dance performances, keynote speeches, a food festival, and sub-forums.
Among the participants was Irzum Shafique, a student from Pakistan majoring in computer science at Xidian University who has lived and studied in Xi'an for seven years.
