Italian puppetry fan recalls connection with President Xi

Antonio Tancredi Cadili, a 12-year-old Italian boy and puppetry enthusiast, still vividly remembers his first meeting with President Xi Jinping in Sicily, Italy in 2019.

During their encounter, President Xi embraced Antonio, leaving a lasting impression. Inspired by this special moment and having learned the piano for a year and a half, Antonio composed a melody titled "The Hug".
