On December 5, French President Emmanuel Macron made his fourth visit to China, interacting with students at the Sichuan University Gymnasium for approximately one hour, with the majority of the time devoted to exchanges.

Addressing the topic of personal growth, Macron suggested not fearing "wasting time" or "getting lost", emphasizing the importance of contemplation and promoting hands-on experience to understand diverse cultures.

Daijing Tong, a student from the School of Life Sciences, asked about Sino-French educational cooperation between universities. Macron acknowledged the value of cross-border educational exchanges, mentioned that representatives from educational institutions accompanying him were seeking cooperation, and planned to facilitate more French students coming to China. He stressed the need for a questioning spirit in scientific research and the importance of not abandoning educational traditions due to AI.

Toward the end of the interaction, Macron took the initiative to ask questions. Student Wang Yilan inquired about his impression of Chengdu. Macron praised the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, regretted the brevity of his stay, and said that a good trip makes one want to return. In his four visits to China, he strives to gain a deeper understanding of the country. Student Yi Chenggang requested a message, to which Macron wrote a note of appreciation and extended an invitation to visit France. When recommending French travel, he suggested slowing down and immersing oneself in the experience.
