A tapestry of vibrant colors, complementing each other in perfect harmony, like musical notes blending seamlessly into a beautiful melody. Through the lens, we meet Alan Furlan, the owner of an Italian restaurant in Zhengzhou's Jinshui District. For him, work transcends the daily grind; it's an exploration, a deep dive into the fascinating confluence of Chinese and Italian cultures. From espresso to spicy soup, Italian opera to Yu Opera, Italian ravioli to Zhengzhou dumplings... Alan's continuous exploration reveals that cultures at either end of the ancient Silk Road, though distinct, share surprising similarities. He aspires to authentically immerse himself in Zhengzhou's culture, weaving it into the fabric of his restaurant, transforming it into a microcosm of Sino-Italian cultural exchange.

五色交辉，相得益彰，八音合奏，终和且平。镜头中，来自意大利的艾伦·弗兰，作为郑州市金水区一家意大利餐厅的主理人，工作不仅是日常运营，也是深入探究中意文化的过程。意式浓缩与胡辣汤，意大利歌剧与豫剧，意大利饺子与郑州蒸饺……不断探索的艾伦发现，古丝绸之路两端的文化，是那么不同又是如此相似。他希望能够真切地融入郑州文化，并将其融入工作中，将餐厅打造成一个中意文化交融的小小窗口。

This 6-minute, 50-second bilingual promotional video, produced for Zhengzhou's international outreach, unfolds through a personal lens. Through vivid and engaging experiences of local culture and cuisine, it showcases the inclusiveness of Chinese culture, inviting audiences both domestically and internationally to discover the unique charm of "International Zhengzhou".
