On the morning of September 25, the opening ceremony for the 3rd "Anhui Story Sharing Contest for Foreigners"— organized by the Anhui Provincial Party Committee Publicity Department, the Anhui Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, the Anhui Provincial Department of Education, the Anhui Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the Anhui Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Anhui Radio and Television Station — was held at Anhui Radio and Television Station.

This year’s event innovatively combined with the challenge segment of Anhui Satellite TV’s popular program "Boys and Girls, Go Forward", attracting more than 20 foreign friends from different countries to participate on site. They not only added an international atmosphere to the opening ceremony, but also showcased the blending and interaction of Chinese and foreign cultures through the fun challenge activities.

Outstanding contestants from previous editions were invited onstage to fondly recall their experiences in the first two competitions. An Azerbaijani new contestant representative took the stage to speak, sharing his goals for this year’s competition and his impressions of Anhui. From the unique perspective of foreign participants, they vividly described their real feelings about studying, working, and living in Anhui, using sincere language to express admiration for Anhui’s cultural heritage and heartfelt appreciation for the province’s development achievements.
