The 5th China International Consumer Products Expo, held in the Hainan Free Trade Port, has once again become a global showcase for premium products. This year, CGTN reporter Sun Shangyi embarked on a unique barter challenge that took her on an adventurous journey through the expo’s bustling pavilions.
Starting at the UK pavilion, Sun began her quest with a simple item, representing the ingenuity and enthusiasm of youthful explorers. With each trade, she discovered new cultures, products, and stories, connecting with exhibitors from around the world.
“It was incredible to see how a small gesture could lead to meaningful exchanges,” Sun shared. “Every trade was a step into a new experience, and the excitement was contagious.”
As she navigated through the vibrant displays, Sun’s bartering skills were put to the test. From European delicacies to innovative gadgets from Asia, each item she acquired held a tale of international collaboration and creativity.
The climax of her journey came when she traded for a surprising final treasure—a handcrafted artwork symbolizing global unity and sustainable growth. This piece not only represented the spirit of the expo but also highlighted the importance of cultural exchange in today’s interconnected world.
The barter challenge captured the imagination of many young attendees, inspiring them to engage more deeply with the diverse offerings of the expo. It showcased how trade is not just about commerce but also about building bridges between people and nations.
The Hainan Expo continues to be a beacon for international cooperation, and stories like Sun’s barter adventure remind us of the endless possibilities that arise when we open ourselves to new experiences.
