Having been studying in Hangzhou city in Zhejiang province for more than five years, Tungamirai Eric Mupona from Zimbabwe in Africa was recently called upon to do an interview with local media.

This was on his expectations for the "Two Sessions" of East China's Zhejiang province, which are currently taking place in its capital, Hangzhou.

During his interview, Mupona said he was very impressed by Jinyun county, which is administered by Zhejiang's Lishui city.

He said Jinyun has many similarities with his hometown. For example, the name "Zimbabwe" is an anglicized form of an African word meaning stone houses and Jinyun has a rich culture of stone.

He was also impressed by the county's protection and inheritance of its traditional culture, such the ancient culture of Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor.

He was also bowled over by Jinyun's nostalgia industry, where traditional agricultural industries incorporate nostalgia into their products to trigger an emotional resonance from customers.
