Yan'an, a city in Northwest China, served as a beacon of hope for many young Chinese during World War II. Decades after the victory, a question arises to us: What are the children of Yan'an like today?
At a historic cave site, we met a young local guide named Doudou. The 11-year-old girl captivated us—and tens of thousands online—with her extensive knowledge of history, which belies her age.
Doudou is one of the many faces of the youth in Yan'an today, but the young people of this city are more diverse than ever. Click the video to hear the new voices of Yan'an, as they carry forward city’s spirit.
