Eighty students from the United States, Denmark, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Hungary, and other countries recently participated in a unique program at Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance.

As part of the 2025 Overseas Youth Summer Camp in China, the program offered international participants first-hand experience of China's culture of integrity through thoughtfully designed activities.

The participants visited the campus history museum and the China Accounting Museum. At the integrity culture exhibition hall, they appreciated students' works.

Hands-on cultural workshops allowed participants to experience traditional arts such as block printing and calligraphy by writing and printing Lixin's motto, which reflects the spirit of integrity.

The program also provided insights into China's modern economic development. The lecturers gave thought-provoking lessons focusing on fields like cross-border e-commerce and financial technologies, illustrating how integrity principles are applied and valued.

One of the highlights was visiting the campus's unmanned convenience store, where participants used mobile payments for self-service shopping — an example of Lixin's integrity-based system.
