Soul App & Xinhua News Agency jointly hold the "Youth Unleashed" campaign.
Recently, Soul App and Xinhua News Agency collaborated to launch the "Youth Unleashed" campaign, inviting the youth on Soul App to share their vibrant dreams, document their hard-fought journeys, and showcase their exuberant enthusiasm for pursuing their aspirations and daring to think and act.
At the dawn of life, youth harbors boundless potential. Throughout the campaign, Soul App and Xinhua News Agency released the short video "Youth Unleashed," capturing the lives of modern young people who unite over shared interests and tirelessly strive toward common dreams on the social platform.
"In this world, everyone's life can be regarded as a unique story. No one knows the story's ending until they spend their life, just as there is no standard answer for the opening line." Echoing this quote from the short video, the "Youth Unleashed" campaign encourages young people to boldly chase their dreams and begin their own unique, thrilling lives, while also highlighting the role of new social platforms like Soul App in fostering the growth of the younger generation.
On Soul App, traditional arts are rejuvenating.
Souler (Soul App user) @StoneBrother is an expert in seal carving, one of the most traditional Chinese cultural arts. As an artist, he carves into squares of stone, using vermilion iron painting as his opening line to express his love for traditional culture. He says, "Crafting can pierce through time and reach different generations in the river of history."
On Soul App, @StoneBrother is devoted to preserving the art of seal carving. He documents his seal-carving journey one moment at a time and shares his skills with others. Soul App acts as a spark of passion, and the enthusiastic feedback and encouragement from fellow Soulers give him the confidence to pass on the art of seal carving and traditional culture.
During the "Youth Unleashed" campaign, a group of Soulers passionate about seal carving initiated the "100 Blessing Seal Carvings for the Motherland" project, which became a trending topic. The campaign not only showcased the younger generation's love for traditional culture but also their heartfelt patriotism through the art of seal carving.
The event also featured the participation of Mr. Liu Yiwen, a renowned seal carver and researcher at the Shanghai Museum Research Institute, who 50 years ago pursued his passion and bravely embarked on his seal carving career under challenging circumstances, transforming from a stoker to a master seal carver. Today, numerous young people have taken up the mantle of promoting traditional culture, innovating in their heritage, and opening a new chapter in their lives.
Many young people on Soul App have inspiring stories of mutual support and courageous beginnings, painting a vivid picture of the youth of this era.
