"Experience China in Peru", an art exhibition themed on "Humans and Nature", opened at the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and Peruvian History in Lima, on November 16. It will conclude on December 8.

The exhibition showcased 36 art pieces, created by artists from 18 APEC members. These artists have their own tastes to express and stories to tell. To some degree, their creation is affected by the deep-rooted tradition in their motherlands. Asian exhibits contain ink and wash paintings, and exhibits from Canada and Australia are more modern and Latin Americans' works teem with imagination and symbolism. But they all have a point to make. Some concerns the harmony between men and nature; others reflect urbanization-induced pollution.

Four exhibits are from Peru. They once made appearance at the Beijing International Biennial Art Exhibition and were later given to China. Their homecoming symbolizes the two nations' friendship.

The relationship between humans and nature has always been the focus of Chinese culture. The core of Chinese philosophy is "nature-human unity", which inspires numerous ink and wash paintings. Surprisingly, some exhibited ink and wash paintings were created by New Zealanders and Canadians. This validates the cultural exchange between the east and west world.

The exhibition will further cement the China-Peru ties and shed a positive light on artistic collaboration within APEC.

2016 marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of China-Peru ties and also the Year of China-Latin America Cultural Exchange.
