Teachers and students shared their thoughts on the 10-day experience. The event provided an opportunity for Russian participants to get a deeper understanding of the two nations' media cooperation, according to Wang Jialing, a teacher from the Chinese delegation.
"I want to thank China Daily for creating a platform that propels collaboration between Chinese and Russian media in aspects of content, technology and personnel," Wang said.
According to Romanenko Maria Vladimirovna, a teacher from the Russian delegation, the city of Wuxi has deeply impressed the Russian participants, and she hopes to return to Wuxi. "After visiting so many wonderful places in Wuxi, I believe all of us can become tour guides," she said.
