TC is a blogger from Jordan who has lived in China for years. "TC in China" documents his journey through Chinese cities, food and culture.
He loves smaller Chinese cities: Xi'an's city wall, Chengdu's teahouses, Luoyang's Longmen Grottoes, Quanzhou's maritime silk road relics. Every city, he says, has its own character worth savoring.
As a Middle Easterner, TC pays special attention to China's "faraway" elements: Silk Road history, halal cuisine, the lives of ethnic groups. He bridges Middle Eastern audiences and China.
TC often says both Jordan and China have splendid ancient civilizations and warm hospitality. Through his lens, the peoples of two ancient civilizations get to know each other better.
TC in China, a young Jordanian, famous for his "Chinese culture journey" series - a representative of Middle Eastern youth learning Chinese culture.
Background: he came from Jordan, was drawn by Chinese culture, and began systematically learning Chinese, history and culture. His videos record his growth from curious foreigner to learner of Chinese culture.
Content: Chinese historical sites, traditional customs, modern cities, plus his Chinese-learning process. He focuses on Middle East-China comparisons - food, etiquette, family values.
Going viral: his "Jordanian youth Chinese culture journey" series is popular - his focused explanations and fluent Chinese leave deep impressions.
Significance: he represents the closeness of Belt-and-Road youth to China - not passively receiving but actively learning and understanding.
For readers: his videos show what cultural appeal really looks like - a Jordanian youth earnestly learning Chinese and visiting sites is the most vivid proof of China soft power.
He also runs a "Middle East and China cultural comparison" series - comparing Jordan and China on hospitality, marriage views, dining etiquette. He finds many similarities: both value family, both are hospitable. He says "cultures differ, but hearts connect." His comparisons feel fresh to both sides - so far apart, yet so alike. That "seeking common ground" attitude is the most precious quality in cross-cultural exchange.
He also plans to open a "Chinese culture corner" in Jordan, teaching young Jordanians Chinese and Chinese culture. "I learned much in China; I want to take it back and share." From learning to spreading, he completed the shift from student to envoy. His story shows more Arab youth: learning Chinese and knowing China opens a door to the future.
His story continues. "Chinese is my second language; China is my second home." His journey is the start of many Arab youth understanding China. May his "Chinese culture corner" open soon, letting more Jordanian friends feel China charm.
TC recently studied tea ceremony, "tea is the best gift China gave the world." From tea he understands China more and more.
