Ambassador Liu said in his speech: “The film vividly portrays the traditional culture of the Chinese minority ethnic groups and the essential meaning of the saying:“A friend in need is a friend indeed”. It also serves as a spiritual gift to the people of different cultures all over the world. Cultural exchange is a unique avenue for the meeting of minds, interaction of feelings and a bridge of friendship between different countries. Both China and Africa have their own brilliant cultures in which all take great pride. More and more Africans have become interested in China. It is the best time for Chinese culture to come to Africa.” Ambassador Liu expressed the belief that there would be more Chinese films and art performances in Africa and more would be jointly produced as the result of closer exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and African artists.

They noted that culture is an important channel for mutual assistance and benefit between peoples and the UNON hall was not only a venue for political conferences, but also a platform for various cultural events. The United Nations was always open to high-quality events of cultural exchanges and cooperation. The audience gave warm response to the film. Jasmine, a student at the Kenya Confucius Institute, said, “It’s so wonderful. I am very glad to see the film and through such a simple and direct way to know about the profound culture of the Chinese Qiang ethnic group. ” Executive Director Clos said the film tried to expound to the world the importance of cultural preservation. It was a good film with beautiful songs, and a gift to the people of the world that would have great influence. The Chinese government’s efforts to preserve cultures of ethnic groups, particularly Qiang culture, and the Chinese people’s spirit of helping and assisting each other in times of need left a deep impression. Sahle-Work Zewede said: “The film is very significant for preservation of culture. The ideas expressed are very important to the preservation of not only Chinese culture but also the cultures of other countries in the world. The film teaches us an important lesson.” Ruth Baru, a Kenyan journalist, praised the film, saying, he could see the great love the Chinese people possessed and showed in helping each other confront disaster. Ambassador Liu said: “We try to communicate with others and show Chinese people’s pursuit of love and happiness through films. It can enhance understanding between the people of China, Africa and the world at large and promote our friendship.”???
