Sun Hongpei, deputy secretary of the Party committee at BNU, said the awards, which should present a unique cultural perspective, be artistically expressive and uphold the spirit of Chinese-foreign cooperation, have been presented to many excellent works.
These works, by being widely circulated in and out of China, have helped the Looking China project become a bridge for cultural cooperation.
