Located about 100 kilometers south of Paris, the capital of France, Mondals is a small town with a rich red culture. In the 1920s, Mondarji warmly welcomed hundreds of Chinese young people who came to work-study programs to explore the truth of the revolution.

Today, the city still retains many of the "great people's footprints" of the past.

Peng Jingxuan is a "post-95", studying harp at the National Conservatory of Music in Bordeaux, France. Since 2018, she has left her performances in front of many French landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Bordeaux Theater, and the Louvre. Every time she performs, she dresses up meticulously, wears traditional Chinese costumes and Hanfu, and uses the unique Chinese national instrument Guzheng to play a melody full of oriental charm in the streets full of Western buildings, becoming a beautiful landscape on the streets of France.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China, celebrating in this way is also an expression of her true emotions. "In Chinese youth's own festivals, playing such a patriotic song with the traditional Chinese national instrument guzheng, conveying the good voice of China in a foreign country, I am honored to be able to do this."

So on this day, she came to the Mondarji Memorial Hall early to recall the glorious history of her ancestors who studied hard work and studied abroad to serve the country. Afterwards, she played "My Chinese Heart" on the square with the guzheng. "My heart is excited. I hope to express my pure feelings as a new generation of overseas students who care about the motherland and serve the motherland. When I play, I miss the motherland very much in my heart, and I am very proud of the prosperity and strength of the motherland today." Peng Jingxuan said.

Although he plays Chinese national musical instruments, he is always welcomed by local friends. Peng Jingxuan happily shared: "After my performance, they applauded warmly, and many people came to express their welcome and congratulations to me, and learned about Chinese folk music to me."

In the past few years, Peng Jingxuan has used music as a bridge to spread the excellent Chinese culture overseas, and has also become popular on the Internet. She said that as a Chinese student who went to study in France, she understood better that over the past 100 years, from exploring the path of saving the country to spreading Marxism, from participating in the construction of a new China to realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, generations of students have gone abroad to seek knowledge, The course of learning to serve the country. She hopes that she can follow the footsteps of her predecessors and actively participate in the reform and opening up and socialist modernization of the motherland, so as to contribute to the national rejuvenation.

After recording the performance video, Peng Jingxuan recited with his partners sonorously and forcefully: "My young people must be strong and sharp, go to Haoyue Xingchen, never forget the original intention, and wish the motherland prosperity!"

The relevant person in charge of the Hunan Provincial Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese said that the Hunan Provincial Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese has always insisted on using common patriotic feelings and common cultural blood to inspire and connect overseas young talents, guide them to integrate into the great cause of national rejuvenation, and further play their role in people-to-people diplomacy, Its role in attracting investment and intelligence has made positive contributions to the economic and social construction of my country and Hunan.
