At a recent gathering at the Shanghai Innovation and Creative Design Institute, more than 10 international professionals from leading universities, research institutions, and foreign enterprises in the city took part in the "Experience Chinese in Hongkou" program. The event provided participants with a unique opportunity for immersion in both the Chinese language and culture.

To share the words and phrases they learned with fellow enthusiasts of Shanghai and Chinese culture, the participants filmed a short video series titled "Let's Speak Chinese", introducing local customs, cuisine, and the city's convenient lifestyle.

In the second episode, Milad Jalali returns to introduce two more useful expressions from the food scene: "Shanghai local cuisine" and "Sixin soup dumplings". Through engaging explanations, he continues to help international viewers connect with Shanghai's everyday life and dining culture.
