More than 70 kinds of Fujian overseas Chinese style food, more than 300 lanterns, more than 100 calligraphy works at home and abroad... On the evening of November 11, Fengze Special Session of 2025 Overseas Chinese Family Fun · Fujian Overseas Chinese Food Cultural Exchange Activity was opened in Fengze District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. At the event site, the organizer set up five themed areas, gathering Southeast Asian specialty overseas pastries, Quanzhou ancient morning cuisine, Shaolin Zen tea vegetarian food, and Taiwanese specialty snacks, etc., allowing visitors and tourists to feast their mouths and linger on. Stone flower paste, vegetable cake, thousand layer cake These are the flavors of hometown and childhood Xu Cannon, the president of the Tanzania Chinese Fujian Association, shuttles between stalls, strolling and tasting, enjoying the delicious food of "Overseas Chinese Family Music". He hopes to hold more such activities, so that more tourists like him who return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year can alleviate their homesickness and relive their hometown feelings through this way. Quanzhou is known as the "Ten Families and Nine Overseas Chinese" and is a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese in China. There are about 10 million Quanzhou Chinese living in 170 countries and regions around the world. In addition to the feast of delicious food, various cultural and entertainment activities that evening also attracted the attention of many citizens and tourists. Traditional lanterns compete with creative lanterns, Shaolin Kung Fu performances are vigorous and powerful, Philippine bands play and sing beautifully, and the performance of string puppet and Nanyin has a long lasting charm. Pluralistic cultures collide passionately here, bringing a special "Wonderful Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival)" to people. Chen Shihai, Chairman of the Fujian Overseas Chinese Federation, stated that carrying out the "Overseas Chinese Family Music" activity is a practical measure to widely unite the hearts of overseas Chinese by using the folk culture of overseas Chinese hometowns as a link, and it is also a vivid practice to deeply explore the cultural connotations of "overseas Chinese"; I hope that through this event, more overseas Chinese and fellow villagers can experience the charm of Quanzhou, the hometown of overseas Chinese. It is reported that the event will last for three days, and there will be multiple performances such as Minnan dialect singing and dancing, kung fu flash mobs, etc. coming up here one after another.
