In a vibrant display of cross-cultural friendship and shared values, the International Lei Feng Spirit Promotion Team from Sanming University in East China's Fujian province was invited to Liedong Middle School in Sanming city on March 25.

The visit coincided with the launch ceremony for the third season of The Glow Project: Youth in Community Service and the presentation of the fourth phase results for the "7+1" Diverse Ethnic Fusion Second Classroom.

Foreign teachers and international students joined local middle school students in a lively gathering that interpreted the spirit of Lei Feng, a late Chinese soldier known for selfless service back in the 1960s, through a global lens while fostering dialogue on Chinese and international cultures.

The event created a harmonious melody of youth-driven kindness and cultural integration.
