\”The foundation of the world lies in the state; the foundation of the state lies in the family.\” These words resonate deeply as societies around the globe recognize the pivotal role of family in shaping communities and nations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has frequently emphasized the significance of family in society since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He remarked, \”No matter how great the changes taking place over time and in the way of life, we must value family construction, emphasize the importance of family, family education and family values.\”
In a recent exploration of this universal theme, Chinese vlogger Li Yimei visited the home of the Ali family, migrants from Syria living in China. Through her visit, she delved into the differences and commonalities between family life in China and Syria. The encounter revealed that despite cultural distinctions, the core pursuit of family happiness and the nurturing of strong family values remain a shared aspiration.
Walid Ali, the patriarch of the family, reflected on this common ground, stating, \”A good family makes a happy society, and the happiness of the society comes from the happiness of the family.\” His words echo the sentiment that strong family units are the building blocks of prosperous and harmonious societies.
The interaction between Li and the Ali family highlights how family values transcend borders, fostering understanding and unity between different cultures. As families like theirs come together, they contribute to a more interconnected and empathetic global community.
