Hello, my name is Mohammed Al-Zouba from Yemen, and I'd like to share my experiences in Wuxi, a city I have visited more frequently than any other in China. Each visit to Wuxi reveals a city that is rapidly transforming; it's as if a new city emerges every time I return. The pace of development is astounding, and the city's constant evolution is truly captivating.

What endears me most to Wuxi is the city's innovative approach to organizing events, unlike anything I've seen in other cities. Recently I had the privilege of receiving a complimentary ticket to the final championship of the China Dragon Super League 3x3 basketball tournament. It was my first time attending a championship game, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular.

Additionally, I was fortunate to gain access to the stadium, a privilege I owe to one of my friends at China Daily. He assisted me in obtaining a media pass, which allowed me to step onto the court and take what are, to date, some of my best photographs. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity and for the flawless organization of the event. The experience was truly perfect in every way.
