Chinese Cultural Figures (reporter: Su Qing) In order to welcome the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon and promote the exchange and mutual learning of world civilizations, the "Harmony - Aerospace and Antarctica Photography Exhibition" sponsored by Boao Forum for Asia and China Cultural Figures Magazine and organized by the International Department of China Cultural Figures Magazine was held successfully at the China World Hotel Beijing on January 16. More than 200 guests, forum members, partners, diplomatic envoys in China and heads of international organizations participated in the grand gathering, including Vice Chairman of the Boao Forum for Asia and chief representative of the Chinese side Zhou Xiaochuan, Secretary-General of Boao Forum for Asia Li Baodong, Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, former president of the UN Women's International Forum Lv Hailin, Honorary President of Chinese Calligraphers Association Su Shishu, special representative of the Secretariat of Boao Forum for Asia Wang Linxu, and Shang Ruifen, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a national model worker, etc.
The Spring Festival is not only a Chinese festival, but also a world festival. Recently, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly designated the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) as a United Nations holiday. The Spring Festival has officially become a United Nations holiday, which fully demonstrates the influence of Chinese civilization and will strongly promote exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations in the world.
Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations is an important part and way to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. The "Harmony - Aerospace and Antarctica Photography Exhibition" sponsored by Boao Forum for Asia and China Cultural Figures Magazine is in line with the needs of the times. Guided by the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, it takes "aerospace" and "Antarctica" as the carrier to promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind, and enhance mutual understanding among people of all countries and exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. The exhibition showcases a series of photographs and the working scenes on China Space Station of Liu Yang, China's first female astronaut, a deputy to the National People's Congress, a hero astronaut and China's aerospace charity image ambassador, as well as photos taken in Antarctica by Wang Baosheng, President of Chinese Cultural Figures Magazine and adjunct professor of International Sinology Research Center of Shandong University.
Photography is a "world language" and an important bridge to promote understanding and enhance exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. The series of photographs taken by the first Chinese female astronaut Liu Yang on China Space Station demonstrate mankind's active exploration of the universe and vividly illustrate that mankind is a community with a shared future. Space is the common treasure of all mankind. In view of the increasing common challenges facing mankind, only peaceful use of space can safeguard our common homeland.
Mutual respect, mutual support and harmonious coexistence are the right path for the development of human civilization. Compared with the vast universe, the earth is really small. We need a clean and beautiful earth where man and nature can live in harmony to achieve sustainable human development. Antarctica is the last pure land on earth. With the continuous expansion of human activities in Antarctica, it has become a top priority to maintain the original polar environment. The photographs taken by President of Chinese Cultural Figures Magazine Wang Baosheng provide a unique perspective on Antarctica's glaciers and mountains, the ecological environment and human activities, and use simple emotions and clever light and shadow language to reproduce the global village where mankind lives together. The security of Antarctica concerns the interests of all countries and the future of mankind. We should work together to solve the problems, build this planet into a harmonious and beautiful family, and turn the aspirations of people around the world for a better life into reality.
The exhibition was highly praised by Vice Chairman of Boao Forum for Asia Zhou Xiaochuan, Secretary-General of Boao Forum for Asia Li Baodong, Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong, as well as diplomatic envoys in China and heads of international organizations.
During the exhibition, the Boao Forum for Asia also held the 2024 New Year Reception. Zhou Xiaochuan said in his speech that in the face of hopes and challenges in 2024, what we need is confidence, patience and striving spirit. As a global political and business dialogue platform based in Asia and facing the world, the Boao Forum for Asia will respond to the call of the host country and make more contributions to enhancing understanding and cooperation within Asia and between Asia and the world.
Sun Weidong spoke highly of the achievements of the Boao Forum for Asia and expected the Forum to further pool the strength of all parties to propose more Asian programs and play a positive role in building a common home in Asia and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
