On March 19, international students from the School of Finance and Economics at Jiangsu University visited the Pearl S. Buck Memorial Hall in Zhenjiang and participated in a face-to-face exchange with the Secretary-General of the Zhenjiang Municipal Foreign Affairs Office. This activity was designed to enhance the international students' understanding of local culture and deepen cross-cultural dialogue between Chinese and international youth through humanistic education and interactive communication.

During their visit to the memorial hall, the students explored the life and literary achievements of Pearl S. Buck, the Nobel Prize-winning author known for her profound cross-cultural engagement and advocacy for mutual understanding between East and West. Through historical documents, multimedia exhibits, and personal artifacts, the students gained insights into Buck’s deep connection with Zhenjiang and her role as a cultural bridge in her writings.

Following the visit, the Secretary-General of the Zhenjiang Foreign Affairs Office held a dialogue session with the students, discussing topics related to cultural exchange, international education, and Zhenjiang’s role as an open and globally engaged city. The students actively shared their perspectives and experiences, contributing to a meaningful and reciprocal conversation.

This visit not only provided the international students with a deeper appreciation of Zhenjiang’s cultural heritage but also reinforced the university’s commitment to fostering globally minded graduates through experiential learning and intercultural engagement.
