Organized by JXAU, the program was designed to help international students better understand China's rural development. It combined theoretical lectures with field visits to green energy enterprises and model villages, as well as discussions with local farmers and tech experts.
"We created this program to showcase China's path to agricultural modernization," said Huang Yisheng, vice dean of the university's School of Marxism.
Huang explained that the initiative also aimed to deepen international students' understanding of China's national context and the "Three Rural Issues" — agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. It also sought to promote agricultural cooperation and cultural exchange with countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.
"Through what they learn, see, and hear in China, these international students are bound to become bridges between China and their home countries," he said. "They will share China's story in this new era, offering their own unique perspectives to the world."
