On April 26, Chang Meijuan, a member of the China Artists Association, and Suima, vice president of the Mongolian Painters Association, jointly held an exchange exhibition entitled “Beauty without Borders” at the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulaanbaatar. The subjects of the exhibition included birds, flowers, figures and other aspects, with diverse styles, novel painting methods and unique outlooks, reflecting the touching stories of contemporary beautiful China and the ever-changing culture of the Mongolian steppe. Painters from the two countries also jointly created a piece of artwork——Fortune and Auspiciousness, to jointly write a new chapter of Sino-Mongolian friendship blossomed with wealth and auspiciousness. About 60 people from Mongolian government, friendly associations, painters associations, news media and other friendly people from all walks of life attended the exchange exhibition.

Li Qi, Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia and Director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulaanbaatar, Chang Meijuan, a member of the Chinese Artists Association, Suima, Vice President of the Mongolian Painters' Association, and Wei Yuncheng, a Chinese literature and art critic, attended the exchange exhibition and delivered speeches.

Li Zhi said that culture and art is a bridge between the hearts and minds of different countries and nations. Chinese painting has now gone global, and in recent years, the art of Chinese painting has been loved by the majority of Mongolian people. This year is the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mongolia, the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership. This time, Chinese and Mongolian women painters and artists in China and Mongolia held an exhibition together, exchanging ideas and learning from each other, and jointly displaying the artistic achievements of oriental ink painting, which will allow more people to appreciate the special flavor of Chinese painting, and to perceive the common genes and aesthetic consensus of the paintings of China and Mongolia. This exhibition demonstrates the determination and courage of Chinese and Mongolian artists to build a beautiful community together in the process of building a community of destiny between the people of China and Mongolia. It is believed that this exhibition will further enhance the people-to-people communication and mutual understanding between China and Mongolia, and further promote cultural exchanges and mutual appreciation of civilizations between the two countries.

Chang Meijuan said that looking back at the history of cultural exchanges between China and Mongolia, it can be said that the history is long and fruitful. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mongolia, as envoys of culture and art between China and Mongolia, Chang Meijuan and Suyima use new feminist artworks to tell the story of beautiful Chinese culture and grassland culture. “I wish the Beauty Without Borders Sino-Mongolian Women Painters Exchange Exhibition a great success and Sino-Mongolian friendship lasts forever.”

Suyma said she was very honored to have the opportunity to study traditional Chinese painting in China, and even more honored to participate in this event within the framework of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mongolia, which effectively promotes the cultural docking between the “Belt and Road” and the “Prairie Road”. “May the friendship between China and Mongolia last forever.” 

Wei Yuncheng said that the “Beauty without Borders——Sino-Mongolian Women Artists Exchange Exhibition” opened in Ulaanbaatar presented the breakthrough innovative achievements of the two artists, consolidated the cultural foundation of Sino-Mongolian beauty without borders, and renewed a new chapter of national cultural responsibility, is conducive to promoting the construction of contemporary cultural derivation paths between China and Mongolia, expanding and integrating the carriers of cultural inheritance between China and Mongolia, and enhancing the friendship and cultural identity of the two peoples.

The exhibition will be on display until May 26 at the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulaanbaatar.
