Cultural Ties across the Straits: Resonating Traditions in the Digital Age

CGTN’s Liu Xin embarks on a fascinating journey to locations that have recently gone viral in the digital age. In this series, she meets three young professionals from Taiwan to explore how Chinese traditions are reimagined through modern lenses and how they continue to still weave an unbreakable connection across the Taiwan Straits.

Gaming: A Tribute to Classic Tales
The video game Black Myth: Wukong, inspired by the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West, has captivated global gamers since its debut in 2024. Wen Huan, a makeup artist from Taipei, is one of its passionate fans. Her love for the game extends to cosplaying its characters, a hobby that led her to Xiaoxitian Temple in north China’s Shanxi Province, a real-world replica of the game’s iconic setting. Surrounded by sculptures and architectural marvels from the Ming Dynasty (early 17th century), Wen was awestruck by the temple’s fusion of Buddhist imagination and artistic craftsmanship. She immediately recognized the details in the temple that she had seen in the game. She even transformed Liu Xin into a game character, sharing how she was enchanted by Journey to the West during her childhood and how enthusiastic young people in Taiwan are about wearing traditional Chinese clothing.
Apart from Black Myth: Wukong, other mainland games like Arena of Valor and Three Kingdom Strategy Edition are also very popular among gamers in Taiwan. The shared language and heritage allow young gamers in Taiwan to easily connect with the historical and traditional elements in these games. They prove that digital technology can breathe new life into ancient tales, creating emotional resonance through pop culture.
Noodles Promoted by App
Next, the program features Liuzhou in south China and explores how food can serve as a powerful cultural bridge. Liuzhou’s Luosifen, or River Snail Rice Noodles, famed for its tangy broth and fermented bamboo shoots, has become a culinary sensation in Taiwan. During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for the dish surged after it was featured on TV shows, with social media amplifying its popularity. Now, the noodle business is worth $10 billion a year. Wang Qian, a restaurant owner in Taiwan, credits the mainland social media App RedNote (Xiaohongshu) for catapulting her Luosifen business to fame. According to statistics from Taiwan media, RedNote has more than 3 million active users, most of them middle school and college students. It is high on the Top 10 list of the most popular apps downloaded by young people on the island. Driven by customer requests for new flavors on RedNote, Wang traveled to Liuzhou to learn from a local master chef, who is also a RedNote celebrity.
As they collaborated on perfecting recipes and documenting every step on social media, Wang discovered that food transcends politics. Apps like RedNote and TikTok have turned cultural exchange into a participatory experience. Through food, abstract traditions become tangible, something one can taste, share, and co-create. Since people on both sides of the Straits are the same culturally, there is no barrier to accepting the same dish, even in different varieties.
Cross-Straits Love for Costume Dramas
Located in east China’s Zhejiang province, Hengdian World Studios is nicknamed China’s Hollywood. In 2024, 523 film and TV crews visited this huge studio and theme park cluster. It has become a cultural landmark since it was established almost 30 years ago. Most of the Chinese film and TV talents and professionals have been in Hengdian for different kinds of productions. Wu Tung is a costume drama director from Taiwan. He has built his career in the mainland’s booming TV drama industry. The program followed him to a martial arts training session and a costume warehouse as he was preparing to shoot a new costume drama. Over the past decade, mainland Chinese costume dramas like Empresses in the Palace and Scarlet Heart have dominated Taiwan screens and online platforms due to their high production value in sets, costumes, scripts, and talent. Here, historical sets blend authenticity with cinematic magic, attracting Taiwan tourists who enjoy taking selfies in scenes they’ve watched on TV.
For Taiwan audiences, these dramas require no translation and offer great entertainment, since the cultural DNA on both sides is identical. The stories in these dramas tap into a shared aesthetic and historical intuition, a bond forged by 5,000 years of civilization.
From the ancient temples of Shanxi to the digital feeds of RedNote and the immersive world of costume dramas, these personal stories reveal that while technology may reshape how we engage with culture, the roots remain deeply intertwined. The vibrant resonance of shared traditions across the Taiwan Straits, whether through a video game, a bowl of noodles, or a drama series, continues through a millennia-old legacy of language, history, and cultural tradition.

Kazakhstan has made significant progress in the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) updated 2025 Human Development Index (HDI), rising seven positions to rank 60th out of 193 countries. The data, presented by the UNDP in early May and cited by the Institute of Economic Research, highlights Kazakhstan’s upward trajectory in key areas of human development.
The country’s improved ranking reflects real and measurable gains in citizens’ standard of living, access to healthcare, education, and sustainable economic growth. According to the report, the following indicators made the largest contributions to Kazakhstan’s advancement:
- Life expectancy increased from 69.5 to 74.4 years
- Per capita income rose from $22,587 to $30,989
- The average duration of education reached 12.5 years
These figures signal not only statistical improvement, but also qualitative changes in Kazakhstan’s social policies aimed at long-term development and the well-being of its population.
The Human Development Index is calculated using three key metrics: life expectancy at birth, education levels (average and expected years of schooling), and gross national income per capita (at purchasing power parity). It is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive indicators of a country’s development, encompassing both economic and social dimensions.
Kazakhstan’s upward movement in the global ranking represents not only international recognition of the country’s policy achievements, but also serves as a domestic benchmark for continued progress. Sustaining this momentum will depend on ongoing efforts to improve healthcare, expand educational opportunities, and promote inclusive economic growth.

BACOIN Debuts Deflationary Pig-Farming Simulator on HyperEVM with Bitcoin-Inspired Halvings
New York, New York, USA – June 2025 – BACOIN, a decentralized pig-farming simulator, has launched on HyperEVM, part of the Hyperliquid ecosystem—known for its explosive growth, perpetual futures trading, and commitment to ongoing decentralization. Developed by the pseudonymous creator Nakapolean—whose name pays homage to Bitcoin’s elusive founder Satoshi Nakamoto—BACOIN integrates strategic farm management with automated, time-based tokenomics.
At launch, 100 M $BACOIN (10 % of the 1 B total supply) seeded the rewards pool via a fair launch on Liquid Launch, HyperEVM’s token-launch platform. Within its first 24 hours, BACOIN recorded over USD 1 million in trading volume. Emissions automatically halve every 48 days—inspired by Bitcoin’s halving cycle—to ensure predictable supply reductions. To date, in-game upgrades have burned 12 % of total tokens, reinforcing scarcity and value.
Players compete for farm share: each user’s proportion of total barn capacity directly determines their yield each cycle. Pens can be placed and upgraded in real time, and 10 % of each upgrade fee is permanently burned, tightening supply with every strategic move. A built-in 3 % referral reward encourages community growth, as farmers earn a slice of their recruits’ claimed tokens.
$BACOIN transforms farm management into a high-stakes race for pig-farming dominance on HyperEVM, part of the Hyperliquid network. From humble first pens to sprawling ranches, every strategic placement and upgrade accelerates token generation.
Key features:
– Instant Farm Control: Place and upgrade pens in real time to fine-tune production.
– Automatic Halvings: Emission rate halves every 48 days—mirroring Bitcoin’s halving mechanics
– Deflationary Upgrades: 10% of each upgrade fee is burned, steadily reducing circulating supply.
– Referral Rewards: Earn 3% of your referrals’ claimed $BACOIN—grow your network and income simultaneously.
– On-Chain Transparency: All emissions, halvings, burns, and rewards are verifiable on-chain.
– Fully On-Chain Gameplay: The entire game logic lives in smart contracts—no centralized servers, completely decentralized.
Launched via Liquid Launch with 100 M $BACOIN (10 % of supply) in the rewards pool, in-game upgrades have already burned 12 % of total tokens. Current market cap: ~USD 200 000.
BACOIN runs entirely on-chain via smart contracts with no centralized servers, ensuring full decentralization and verifiable gameplay. The autonomous halving mechanism, deflationary burns, and transparent emissions schedule are all recorded on HyperEVM’s ledger for complete auditability.

Together with BTG Pactual, we combine cutting-edge technology with the financial solidity of one of the most respected institutions in Latin America. Together, we will expand access to working capital quickly, safely, and intelligently, driving the growth of thousands of Brazilian companies,” highlights Paolo Fidanza, CEO and founder of KEO World.

The solution enables fast, secure, and transparent payments with financing options of up to 90 days per invoice, providing greater flexibility in cash flow and significant efficiency gains in financial operations. *Personalized digital experience* Unlike standardized solutions offered by traditional banks and fintechs, Workeo provides personalized digital credit lines with flexible use and automatic reuse, without hidden fees and with conditions tailored to each client’s cash flow and profile. The platform also allows for global multi-currency inventory financing as well as real-time invoice settlement even when suppliers do not offer credit. The solution promotes cash flow optimization and increases companies’ purchasing power by significantly reducing costs and eliminating inefficiencies by replacing manual processes with a 100% digital experience powered by artificial intelligence. “We are committed to offering innovative solutions that meet the real needs of Brazilian companies.
