To enrich international students' understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture and society, especially the lucid waters and lush mountains in China, and to cultivate their innovative, creative and entrepreneurial abilities in new media communication, Shanghai Jiao Tong University has successfully held two “China Through My Eyes” Short Video Contests for International Students in China, which has received positive responses from international students from various universities across the country, exerting a wide range of social impact.

The third “China Through My Eyes”: “Beautiful China” Short Video Contest for International Students in China has been launched. It has also been successfully selected as an “Experiencing China” activity of the China Scholarship Council of the Ministry of Education. The contest is hosted by the China Scholarship Council, organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and supported by Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai United Media Group, Shanghai Media Group, Tencent.com, Eastday.com and other media.

Faced with the increasingly prominent challenge of global climate change, this competition aims to encourage international students to tell the authentic story of China through personal experience, on-site observation, and a unique first-person perspective. While expressing their real feelings and interesting discoveries, they will show the world China's real national conditions, culture, social life and beautiful sceneries, and call on all parties to join hands to tackle climate change and seek a harmonious coexistence between man and nature. In this way, the cross-cultural communication ability of international students can be improved, the level of cultural exchange between China and foreign countries can be enhanced, and the bridge between Chinese and foreign young students can be built.

The following are the contest details.
