STORYLINE:

Ferenc Hegyi, a researcher from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, has been collaborating with his Chinese peers from the Southwest University in China's Chongqing Municipality to develop new wine varieties.

Thanks to their joint efforts for years, Chongqing's native fruits, including citrus, plum, and kiwi fruit, have been transformed into distilled wine using Hungarian brewing techniques.

"I have been to China three times since 2017, and all three visits were to Chongqing. One of those visits was engaged in a six-month project, which was my longest research time spent in China. It had a significant impact on my academic career, allowing me to learn a lot from Chinese culture. I believe this cooperation is very significant as it helps us mutually understand each other's culture, ways of thinking and perspective, thus enabling us to solve problems from various aspects."
