Nightscapes of snow-covered Heilongjiang Province have garnered over 5 million likes on international short video platforms; the internet is awash with covers of classic Chinese songs performed by foreign users. Recently, the trend of "living like the Chinese" has sparked a wave of imitation of the "Chinese way of life," which is becoming increasingly visible worldwide, and China is becoming increasingly attractive to many people around the world.

The ongoing “boom for everything Chinese” is not a sudden and random phenomenon, but a natural result of a long-term accumulation of quantitative changes.

The number of foreign apps featuring Chinese miniseries on various streaming platforms has already exceeded 300; through watching series, viewers gain a vivid understanding of modern China; global sales of the Chinese video game "Black Myth: Wukong" have exceeded 28 million copies, and the story of Journey to the West has resonated widely with international players; thanks to the constant expansion of the "circle of visa-free countries," travel to China is becoming increasingly convenient, and many foreign tourists, having learned about China, fall in love with it during their visits.

The question is not why the world is “falling in love” with China, but that the real and multifaceted China itself deserves the world’s admiration.

As internet users have aptly noted, the dissemination of culture is never a condescending "imposition of culture," but rather a "cultural overflow" with sufficient cultural development and high cultural confidence. Having pierced the fog of slander and disinformation and broken the shackles of stereotypes, foreign internet users were able to directly experience China—a country that is authentic, attractive, and worthy of respect. How can one not admire China's centuries-old, outstanding traditional culture, its new and exciting technological achievements, and its safe and convenient environment?

Today, we view the world as equals and perceive it with openness and trust. While we rejoice in this, we must also clearly recognize that a long way remains to truly understand China. But rest assured, as a prosperous China attracts increasing global attention, a resonance between China and the rest of the world will inevitably emerge. Through communication and mutual understanding, Chinese culture will undoubtedly blossom more luxuriantly and richly in the garden of global civilization.
