Do you see how young I look in this photo? It was taken in 2015 during my internship at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Time has flown by, and I still feel a deep longing for those days.
Every day, I met people from all around the world, with different nationalities and beliefs, yet we treated each other with kindness and respect.
I truly experienced the power of cultural diversity and the beauty of harmony amid differences.The statue in the photo is known as "Non-Violence," or "The Knotted Gun." It stands in front of the UN headquarters and symbolizes the global rejection of violence and the call for peace.CGTN's Zhao Nan at the UN headquarters.CGTN's Zhao Nan at the UN headquarters.CGTN's Zhao Nan at the UN headquarters.Within the United Nations framework, China continues to make substantial contributions to the cause of global peace and development, steadfastly promoting the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind.This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations – a journey of eight decades dedicated to peace, security, development and cooperation among peoples.May the coming years bring more peace and tolerance to our world.(Zhao Nan is an Arabic language reporter at CGTN.
