From books to the countryside: A Brazilian youth understands the Chinese practice of "harmony between humanity and nature" through field visits

Having lived through a turbulent political period and economic hardship in his own country, this young Brazilian has long reflected on different models of governance. His curiosity led him to China, a country he has visited many times. While reading this book, he discovered that the real China is strikingly different from the image often portrayed by Western media. What he found was a country forging an entirely new path of development. During his field visits, he witnessed the tangible outcomes of rural revitalization and ecological prosperity, seeing for himself how the ecological concepts he had read about in books materialized into the lucid waters and lush mountains. In this episode of Shining Wisdom, he shares how, in his view, China's ecological civilization philosophy — rooted in the traditional wisdom of "harmony between nature and humanity" — is broadening the feasible pathways for global climate governance and contributing to the collective effort to build a greener future for all.
