Chongqing- The first all-English international broadcast program in Chongqing, the 216th episode of "Let's Meet," titled “WMO Secretary-General: Chongqing’s Smart Meteorology Solution”, jointly produced by the Western China International Communication Organization and Chongqing Satellite TV, will be aired on both domestic and international media on June 3.

WMO Secretary-General: Chongqing’s Smart Meteorology Solution

Against the backdrop of increasingly frequent extreme weather events, how cities respond in advance is becoming an increasingly urgent reality. This time, the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, Celeste Saulo, arrived in Chongqing to conduct an on-site investigation of the city’s meteorological system. In the context of complex terrain and changing climate conditions, how this system works is also a key focus for her. She spoke highly of China’s achievements in early warning systems in their early stages and said that Chongqing’s innovation and development in meteorological services and early warning systems not only provide accurate alerts to local residents but also serve as a model for the “Early Warnings for All” initiative.

Volunteering in Chongqing

As Chongqing’s level of internationalization continues to rise, more and more young people from abroad are choosing to come here to study and live. They are not only active on campus but also take the initiative to step beyond it and into Chongqing's natural settings. A group of international students from countries such as Myanmar, Pakistan, and Nigeria regularly take part in volunteer activities, including ecological protection efforts in Jinyun Mountain and clearing litter along riverbanks. Through firsthand participation, they have come to appreciate the fragility and preciousness of this mountain city's natural scenery, and they have also felt the warmth and dedication with which local people protect their home. Volunteer work has become a bridge for them to cross cultural differences and build an emotional connection with the city.

Redefining Aging: Turning Forgotten Pages

Amid the city’s ever-changing pace, some people choose to relate to time differently. In Chongqing, an elderly man has run a bookstore that has been open for more than two decades—quietly tucked among the lanes and alleys. His daily life consists of sorting, repairing, and categorizing stacks of old books gathered from all over. With each worn volume, he preserves for this city stretches of time that would otherwise be forgotten, and he brings reading back to its most ordinary form—a way of life that happens quietly, day after day.

Philippine Influencers Try Chongqing Motorbike Photography

Following the opening of direct flights between Chongqing and Manila, a motorbike photography video in Chongqing went viral on Filipino social media. In the clips shot by L.A. and Richard Juan, motorcycles weave through the city’s multi-level streets, creating a thrilling sense of speed and space. Viewers called it “so cool,” and many expressed a desire to try it. Filipino celebrities Anne Curtis and host Tim Yap also joined the conversation. The motorbike photoshoot is becoming a new, cool way to showcase Chongqing’s unique appeal to young people across Southeast Asia.
