A Cutting Edge Cartoon Goes Ancient
Mango TV’s new AI-generated children’s series packages ancient artifacts, time travel, and cultural confidence into one tidy streaming package.

On February 3, 2026, a delegation of junior journalists organized by Home and Abroad News Press visited the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing (北京俄罗斯文化中心) to interview director Tatiana Urzhumtseva, the Russian embassy counselor also serving as head of the local representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo — an autonomous Russian federal government agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and cultural exchange. Rossotrudnichestvo was sanctioned by the European Union in 2022. Urzhumtseva called on young people to transform “national narratives” into “life narratives and shared memories” to carry forward bilateral “friendship” (友谊) — a term used in both CCP and Russian state discourse to frame cultivated media and people-to-people ties as expressions of strategic alignment. The event included performances by junior journalists. Home and Abroad News Press president Wei Yan (韦燕) attended and accepted a commemorative book on behalf of the delegation.
