7/30/26 and 7/8/26 Beijing Dinners!

With many Gen IIs returning to China this summer for vacations and internships, Tsinghua Youth Connect (TYCon) hosted two dinner gatherings in Beijing this July to bring members together and strengthen connections within the community. Just one year ago, only three Gen IIs met up in Beijing—this year, more than 10 gathered across the two events, highlighting the growing enthusiasm for reconnecting in China. The first dinner was graciously hosted by TYCon Board Member and TYCon Gen I Liaison Gavin Ye, while the second was organized by TYCon Board member Rachel Ding at the local hidden gem, UH-Huh Bar. Both evenings were filled with great food, lively conversations, and a warm atmosphere as fellow Gen IIs—many whose parents attended Tsinghua University—shared experiences, built new friendships, and celebrated their shared heritage together in Beijing.
