Their remarkable efforts in bridging Chinese and other cultures, along with other significant contributions to fostering mutual understanding, embody the spirit of the Global Civilization Initiative as enduring and graceful as an orchid. In the vibrant garden of human civilization, mutual learning is a cornerstone for building a global community of a shared future. In this context, estrangement and isolation must be replaced with openness and exchange.
This book tells the stories of cultural envoys from around the world who have deeply engaged with China in their lives and work. Their exceptional contributions have been pivotal in bridging cultural divides and fostering understanding and cooperation between cultures. As vanguards of the Global Civilization Initiative, these cultural connections exemplify the power of mutual learning and the achievements born from the language of diversity.
