Dear friends, The China-EU Youth Digital Pen Friend Journey is about to begin!

On May 4th, in collaboration with the youth organization "CHN Youth In Europe," we sent out a pen friend recruitment invitation to you in front of the screen. We received many enthusiastic responses. 

Initially, we planned to recruit only 20 pairs of pen friends, but due to the overwhelming number of sincere and loving replies,

we decided to match 41 pairs instead! :)

Are you ready? The "China-EU Youth Digital Pen Frined Journey" is about to start! We will announce the matching results within this week. Please actively check your emails from our official account 【euyouthinchn@gmail.com】

Both successful and unsuccessful matches will receive email notifications. Unsuccessful applicants will automatically be entered into the matching database for the next round of activities. (Yes, we hope to develop this event into a long-term initiative.)

Before embarking on this wonderful one-on-one friendship link, we would like to share some data from this matching database with you. There are many delightful surprises hidden within!

Finally, we have excerpted some messages from the youth who have written to us.

We hope this enthusiasm will be everlasting:

"It's been years since I heard the term 'pen friend.' I don't know what has led you to start this project, but it's an incredible idea. Regardless of whether I can participate or not, I'll be keeping an eye on you guys."

"Thank you so much for this event. It will surely be a very meaningful and unforgettable experience for all the people who will have the chance to participate."

"You are doing a great thing, providing a good opportunity to meet, get to know, and immerse into a really beautiful and profound culture."

"I am grateful for the opportunity the organization is giving young people to connect and express themselves. I find this a very interesting initiative."

"You are doing such a great job with this project! I never had the possibility to talk to someone so far away from here, to exchange words, and especially to make friends. This is amazing, keep up the great work."

"This activity is very meaningful. I really hope to deeply understand the culture of the other side. World citizenship starts gradually with our generation! Let our acquaintance become the elixir to melt prejudice."

"A very creative and thoughtful activity! It can open a window to the world for young people like me who want to understand the outside world but haven't taken the first step yet. Thumbs up to you for organizing this event!"

"Thank you for your long-standing care for the youth, providing various benefits across different countries, especially in terms of cultural exchange."

"I have been following Youth in Europe for a while and I really love the content you produce. I started following your updates before coming to Europe, and now I have been here for over two months. Thank you for providing information about volunteering and sharing youth stories. When I read this content back home, I always felt fascinated. Through my own efforts, I finally came to Europe, and in a way, your content was my introduction to exploring Europe. Thank you! I wish you continued success!"

"Although I haven't known you for long, when I woke up early and saw this message, I was suddenly very surprised and felt it was magical. Maybe I can participate, maybe I won't be selected—I don't know. But life often seems to be full of uncertainties. I don't know what kind of connection this newly followed public account will have with me, I don't know what I will gain or think about by participating in this event, I don't know... But what I do know is that I am very grateful I found and encountered you on Xiaohongshu, I am very grateful for your existence, and I am very grateful for what you are doing. I wish Youth in Europe all the best. I hope that in the future, more and more young Chinese people who haven't had the chance to personally experience the outside world will feel a sudden sense of joy when they discover you."

"Thank you very much for organizing this event, giving us the opportunity to communicate and reflect with people from thousands of miles away."

"Thank you for organizing this event. Maybe this is the opportunity to bring changes to a predetermined life."
