In the context of the rapid development of international Chinese language education, international students' “telling Chinese stories well” is of great significance to the dissemination of Chinese culture and Sino-foreign cultural exchanges. The study systematically analyzes the synergistic logic of language acquisition and cultural understanding, as well as the narrative logic of cross-cultural identity and multiple perspectives, and analyzes the existence of “an imbalance between tradition and modernity, and insufficient coverage of realistic issues” in international Chinese language education, “a single narrative mode and a lack of cross-cultural perspectives”, and “a single narrative mode and a lack of cross-cultural perspectives”. It analyzes the dilemma of “imbalance between tradition and modernity, insufficient coverage of real issues”, “single narrative mode, lack of cross-cultural perspective”, “centering on language skills, insufficient cultivation of narrative ability”, “insufficient teachers' cross-cultural communication literacy”, and puts forward the proposal of “updating the teaching content”. We put forward a series of specific paths, such as “updating teaching content”, “optimizing the preparation of teaching materials”, “innovating teaching strategies” and “improving teachers' competence”, which are expected to improve international communication. This is expected to enhance international students' ability to tell China's stories well, promote cultural exchange and understanding, and facilitate the building of a community of human destiny.
