Amid a new phase in China-US relations, Utah hosted a youth sharing session titled "Same Age, Same Dream" in May, where 150 members of the American youth choir One Voice emotionally recounted their three trips to Shanghai to co-create city-themed music videos. They shared unforgettable experiences from their China visits and friendships forged with Chinese peers. The "Same Age, Same Dream" China-US youth music exchange video series, simultaneously launched in both countries, sparked widespread enthusiasm on global social media. American netizens commented: "A cross-border youth pact—both passionate and tender" and "The children saw a real China, not just the images in news reports."
