Located on the southeast coast of Zhejiang Province, Rui’an is an important modern industrial and trade city, also a famous historical and cultural city in Zhejiang Province. As a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, Rui’an has 160,000 overseas Chinese and 2,100 leaders of overseas Chinese distributed in more than 100 overseas countries and regions. In order to build a new platform and expand effective channels for overseas communication, and enhance the capability of overseas communication, the Publicity Department of CPC Rui’an Municipal Committee has launched a series of videos themed with"Hello, Rui’an" to introduce Rui’an to the world world by inviting young foreigners to appreciate cultural landmarks, visit historical sites, and explore intangible cultural heritage in Rui’an. These videos will be broadcast at home and abroad through the bilingual media cluster of Wenzhou Overseas Media Center (“Daka China · Hai’ou Community” Operation Center). Today we launch the video "A Ghanaian guy celebrates Chinese New Year in Rui’an" to our audiences at home and abroad.

"I am very fortunate to be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Rui’an. It not only makes people feel the charm of Chinese traditional culture, but also shows us a youthful Rui'an with vigorous vitality." Recently, Michael (Taiyang), a  Ghanaian anchor of the Wenzhou Overseas Media Center shared his feelings after experiencing the "New Year" activities in Rui’an.

Taiyang has been in China for 5 years, and he loves Wenzhou's folk customs very much. During the video-filming, at the "Former Residence of Sun Yirang" in Paidai Street, he appreciated the lively waist-drum performance and the Ruian's intangible cultural heritage - "floor lamp". What's more, he made rice cakes and wrote Spring Festival couplets with his own hands. After leaving Pandai Street, Taiyang came to Rui'an's famous Yuhai Historical and Cultural District, where he wore Hanfu and made wooden handcraft articles while participating in young people’s “New Year”activities in Rui'an.
