Former U.S. diplomat Susan Thornton recently shared her enthusiasm for China, encouraging international students to “have fun” exploring the country. Reflecting on her own experiences, Thornton recalled the joy of ice skating at Beihai Park in Beijing, one of her fondest memories during her time in China.
“There’re a lot of fun things to do in China!” Thornton exclaimed, emphasizing the rich cultural experiences awaiting students who choose to study there. She highlighted the importance of openness and cultural exchange, adding, “We should loosen up a bit and let people explore China.”
Thornton’s call comes at a time when educational and cultural exchanges between China and other nations are increasingly significant. Her message resonates with global students seeking immersive experiences and a deeper understanding of China’s vibrant culture and society.
