The speech contest attracted around 170 students from eight local higher education institutions, with eight students advancing to the final round after a rigorous selection process.
Chen is a student in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Ma Man Kei and Lo Pak Sam College. In the contest, she delivered a powerful speech in which she shared her personal experiences in Azerbaijan and Timor-Leste, as well as impactful initiatives such as China’s solar power projects in Azerbaijan and Macao’s maternal and child health centre development in Timor-Leste. Her speech highlighted Macao’s unique role as a bridge between Chinese and Western cultures under the ‘one country, two systems’ policy, while underscoring the city’s contribution to the country’s opening-up. In her acceptance speech, Chen expressed heartfelt gratitude to UM for its support and encouragement.
