Mr. Chen Xin introduced that"Gen-C·Lifestyle" is an exhibition and sales and brand culture experience event that brings together China's innovative high-quality consumer products. It is also a large-scale carnival that uses multi-dimensional experiential scenes to present a new Chinese trend Oriental lifestyle blending the cutting-edge and the traditional, modern fashion and future trends. It aims to help Chinese innovative consumer brands gain overseas consumers' perceptual recognition, overseas brand exposure, high-end business social connections, product sales pre-orders, investment attraction, and other core values. Through the unique experience method of the culture festival, it breaks through the limitations of traditional trade fairs and shapes "cultural identity" for Chinese brands overseas. This ultimately changes overseas consumers' stereotypical impressions of Chinese brands as "ancient," "low-end," "inferior," and "counterfeit," truly enabling Chinese brands to establish a positive mainstream image in overseas markets from "easy to use" to "high quality" to "loved."
