On the morning of May 23, the premiere exhibition of “Light and Shadow of Ningbo” was opened in Cambodia. Chen Cong, Minister-Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy, Prak Pannara, Deputy Minister of State of the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism, Triang Lian, Deputy Minister of State of the Cambodian Ministry of Information, and Chorn Chanphearoun, Deputy Director of the Information and Broadcasting Department of the Cambodian Ministry of Information, attended the opening ceremony. Representatives of the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the third level (Ningbo, Zhejiang, China), Cambodian CNS reporters, and Cambodian mainstream media reporters also attended the premiere exhibition ceremony.
The premier exhibition was jointly organized by the Ningbo International Communication Center (NICC), China Pictorial and the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce of Cambodia, and featured more than 20 Ningbo companies, including Seduno and Shenzhou International Group, both of which employ 120,000 people in their Cambodian overseas factories.
This is reportedly China’s first large-scale cultural exchange event, using overseas factories as a platform to promote the city’s image to the world.
The photo exhibition selected 90 outstanding photographs, showcasing not only the mountains and rivers, scenic spots and intangible cultural heritage of Zhejiang Province and China, but also beautiful photos of Ningbo, covering aspects such as the port, industry, city and culture, aiming to tell China’s story through photography and help overseas factory employees better understand Ningbo.
Ningbo’s Sanjiangkou is the exit point of China’s Grand Canal and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. The “Starting Point of Maritime Tea Ceremony” monument at Sanjiangkou tells the story of the origin of Chinese tea spreading around the world. These photo comments take viewers back to ancient times, witnessing tea ships, tea utensils, cotton, silk, and porcelain shipped from here to Cambodia and all over the world.
“Through the textbook explanation, I learned that the Phnom Penh-Poipet high-speed railway, which we are building in cooperation with China, is also progressing and travel will be even more convenient in the future, so I am very excited,” said Shen Jinhua, an employee of Seduno (Cambodia) Knit Joint Stock Company.
Beyond the meaning of the photographs themselves, the photographs related to local social life also serve as a bridge of friendship between China and Cambodia.
“I have never been to China, nor have I been to where our headquarters is located. But these photos give me a wonderful imagination of faraway Ningbo,” said Rasny, an employee of Sedunno (Cambodia) Knitwear Joint Stock Company, who said she loved Ningbo’s historical architecture and cultural arts at the exhibition.
Many Ningbo companies, including Seduno, are based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. How to foster unity among employees with different cultural backgrounds is a challenge that many overseas factories must address.
“Through the photo exhibition, we learned about China’s changes and development opportunities, as well as the vibrant development of Ningbo city.” Chhean Leang, Secretary of State at the Cambodian Ministry of Information, praised this approach, which allows people to intuitively learn about each other’s situations.
The “Light and Shadow of Ningbo” Global 100 Enterprises Exhibition plans to hold 100 photo exhibitions at 100 overseas factories of Ningbo enterprises. The next step is to hold exhibitions at overseas factories of Ningbo enterprises in Bangladesh, Vietnam and other countries.
