Beneath the green canopy of Nanjing’s Wutong Avenue, sunlight dances through the leaves and summer seems to slow down. More than a beautiful road, it is a living part of the city’s history and everyday rhythm.

About 100 young people gathered in Nanjing today with flowers, poetry, and a shared message about peace. They explored aviation history, watched student performances, and ended the afternoon with a quiet tribute. Different languages. Same wish for the future. Also, proof that teenagers can make history feel surprisingly hopeful.

For Xu Yan, choosing agriculture meant more than changing careers. It meant understanding the work, putting down roots and giving that choice time to grow. Over the past few years in Nanjing, she says the strongest feeling agriculture has given her is happiness. Just as importantly, she has found support—from training programs to opportunities to learn more about modern agriculture. “You are not farming alone. Behind you, there is an entire city supporting you.” Her experience offers one way to understand what it means to thrive in Nanjing: making your own choice, putting down roots, and finding the support to keep growing. Thrive in Nanjing.

Xu Yan once lived the fast‑paced life of the city. Three years ago, she chose a different path and put down roots in the countryside. It has not been an easy journey. Farming means uncertainty. But through working with the land, she has found a life that feels more genuine and closer to what she wants for herself. Her ambition now extends beyond the farm. Xu Yan hopes young people can see agriculture as a profession, a way of life and an identity—and says Nanjing’s support has helped make that path feel more possible. Her story asks a simple but powerful question: what happens when you choose to live according to your own wishes? Watch Xu Yan’s full story.

Patrick arrived in Nanjing in 1996, when the city—and his own future here—looked very different. What began with making bread grew into a business and nearly three decades of life in Nanjing. During that time, he watched high-rises multiply, roads widen and transport become increasingly connected. Yet what matters to him is not only how much the city has changed, but what it has kept: its greenery, openness and warmth. His story reflects a different kind of urban transformation—one measured not only in skylines, but in the lives that grow alongside them. Watch Patrick’s full story.

When Patrick came to Nanjing in 1992, the city had only one bridge across the Yangtze River—and no metro yet. Today, bridges, tunnels and an expanded metro network have made the city far easier to get around and much more connected. “Nanjing has really changed for the better.” Through Patrick’s experience, the city’s transformation can be seen not only in its skyline, but in something much closer to everyday life: how easily people can move through it. Growing with the City. Thrive in Nanjing.

It looks like a flower — but it’s made of silk. Nanjing velvet flower, also known as ronghua, is a centuries-old Chinese craft in which fine silk is shaped by hand into delicate flowers, birds and ornaments. The name ronghua shares a similar pronunciation with the Chinese word for “prosperity,” making it a symbol of good fortune in China. Today, this traditional craft continues to inspire fashion, film and contemporary design — connecting past and present, one thread at a time.
