by Zhaojun Xiao

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.4, 2025; 0 Views

Driven by the Belt and Road Initiative, digital payment system collaboration between Chinese cross-border e-commerce companies and Kazakhstan has become a crucial tool for promoting the digitalization of bilateral trade. This paper examines the collaboration models, advantages, and challenges of Chinese cross-border e-commerce companies and Kaspi Payment. By analyzing the current state of the China-Kazakhstan cross-border e-commerce market, as well as Kaspi Payment’s functionality and application data, this paper summarizes key collaboration models, including platform integration, payment interface integration, and localized settlement. The study finds that these collaboration models significantly improve cross-border transaction efficiency, capital flow speed, and user payment experience, but also present challenges such as currency settlement risks, policy and regulatory differences, and technical security. Therefore, this paper proposes innovating and optimizing these collaboration models through technological optimization, business process improvement, service localization, and policy coordination. These findings not only provide insights into payment strategies for Chinese cross-border e-commerce companies in the Central Asian market but also offer practical guidance for promoting digital trade cooperation among countries along the Belt and Road.

“Seeing Chinese Culture through Chinese Dance: The ‘Circle’”

by Jingjing Chen

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.4, 2025; 0 Views

As a performative art that embodies human emotion and spiritual aspiration, dance has long been inextricably linked to the notion of yuan (“the circle”) within the Chinese cultural imaginary. Anchoring this study in the philosophical underpinnings of Chinese “circle” culture, the paper interrogates the concrete manifestations of the circle in Chinese dance. By means of a critical review of primary and secondary sources, it reconstructs the historical trajectory and spiritual semantics of yuan in traditional Chinese thought; simultaneously, through close choreographic analysis, it explicates how the circle is operationalized with respect to movement pathways, spatial configurations, and affective expression. The investigation reveals that yuan in Chinese dance is not confined to the kinetic vocabulary of ping-yuan (horizontal circle), li-yuan (vertical circle), and ba-zi-yuan (figure-eight circle); rather, it is systematically extended to macro-structural principles—such as concentric “large-circle-enclosing-small-circle” formations and cyclical stage designs—that externalize the cultural ethos of tian-ren-he-yi (the unity of Heaven and humanity) and yuan-man-he-xie (consummate harmony). The study thus articulates the unique mechanism by which the circle migrates from cultural symbol to corporeal lexis, offering a new perspective on the symbiotic relationship between art and culture.

The Role of Patriotism in China’s Education System: The Production and Transformation of “Red Capital” from a Bourdieusian Perspective

by Junan Jia

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.4, 2025; 0 Views

Bourdieu’s capital theory argued that education inequality is primarily reproduced through three core forms of capital: economic, cultural, and social. However, Bourdieu did not preclude the existence of other capitals that may operate distinctly in particular fields. China’s education system emphasize political ideology through both formal and hidden curriculum. , Centered on patriotism and communist ideology, this process creates “red capital”. Using a mixed methodology, this study investigated: (1) the validity of red capital as an independent capital form, (2) its role in the reproduction of social hierarchies and education inequality, and (3) the way of acquisition and institutional manifestation.

by Hou Taifeng

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.4, 2025; 0 Views

The Internet has driven profound social changes in the 21st century, while new technologies have intensified certain social issues. In Internet public events, online public opinion often complicates matters and undermines objectivity, accompanied by highly harmful cyber language violence. Previous studies on cyber language violence have mostly focused on groups and communication, with few exploring it from the perspective of intertextuality. This paper aims to study cyber language violence discourse on Weibo—a new media platform with a large user base, diverse age groups, and high topic discussion intensity—taking intertextuality theory as the research entry point. It provides a new analytical framework for cyber language violence research and contributes to online ecological governance and social harmony promotion.

by Hou Taifeng

Lifelong Education , Vol.14, No.4, 2025; 0 Views

Living in a harmonious and friendly neighborhood environment makes people feel happier. On the contrary, living in a hostile neighborhood environment worsens people’s mood. It is evident that handling neighborhood relationships well is crucial. With the rapid social development, contemporary neighborhood relationships have become increasingly complex, superficial, and utilitarian. To change this situation, stimulate people’s participation in building harmonious and loving neighborhood relationships, and enhance their sense of belonging to the community and affection for neighbors, we should strive to put forward feasible measures. This paper attempts to describe the current situation where contemporary neighborhood relationships are gradually becoming indifferent and modern new neighborhood relationships have replaced the traditional concept of “a nearby neighbor is better than a distant relative”. It proposes suggestions for handling neighborhood relationships in contemporary society based on Confucian views on neighbors, so as to enrich the research on excellent Confucian traditional culture and civic morality construction, promote social progress and all-round human development, and lay a human foundation for building a great modern socialist country.
