Recently, international students from Yunnan Normal University participated in themed running events including “I ❤ Yunnan: Zheng He Culture Week” and “A 40-Year Rendezvous With Seagulls”. The students noted that the 40-year bond between the red-billed gulls’ and Kunming along with Zheng He’s legendary seven voyages (1371-1433) across the seas symbolizes exchange and trust that transcend geographical borders.
