XI'AN, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- Vitomira Loncar is a renowned Croatian playwright, actress, and producer. After retiring in 2016, she chose to move to China with her husband and began teaching courses such as intercultural communication and project management at Xi'an Eurasia University. She transforms dramatic arts into a teaching language, guiding students to understand knowledge and connect with the world through emotion and imagination.

Vitomira also established a "Women's Workshop," using drama as a tool to help participants overcome self-perception limitations and rebuild confidence and life goals through systematic, thematic activities. "We should not be defined," Vitomira said, "and must bravely live as the best version of ourselves."

Beyond the classroom, Vitomira also shares her life in China on social media platforms, presenting an authentic and multidimensional China to the world. She described Xi'an as her second hometown, where the profound culture continuously energizes her and supports her work in cultural exchange.
