Since the founding of New China, China and the Soviet Union have opened decades of in-depth interaction in the political, military and economic fields.

Among the many commodities that China sent to the Soviet Union, grain and raw materials occupied a central position. These key materials helped ease the tight domestic supply situation in the Soviet Union, and at the same time deepened the mutual trust between the members of the two socialist camps. It is worth noting that this large-scale trade not only solves short-term problems, but also promotes the overall improvement of the living standards of the people of the two countries in the long run.

Looking back on the glory days of "China Flows to the Soviet Union", we find that the values contained in it are still applicable to solving the contemporary global governance problems. Only by upholding the principles of respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit can we join hands to create a better and harmonious human society.
