Budapest lit up with cross-cultural vibes this week as the ‘Common Fate, Common Future’ China-Hungary cultural exchange event brought history and diplomacy to life! 🏛️✨ Co-hosted by China Media Group (CMG) and Hungarian partners, the gathering spotlighted the power of storytelling to bridge nations.
At the heart of the event? The documentary ‘L.E. HUDEC’, which dives into the legacy of Hungarian architect László Hudec. His iconic buildings in Shanghai 🏙️—like the Park Hotel—stand as ‘stone monuments to cultural collaboration’, as Hungary’s Deputy State Secretary Csaba Gabor noted.
CMG President Shen Haixiong highlighted how media partnerships fuel mutual understanding, while China’s Ambassador Gong Tao called the film a ‘bridge of friendship’. The doc’s Hungarian TV debut has already scored prime-time viewers 📺, with reruns planned through 2023.
Fun fact: Director Chen Qing filmed scenes at Budapest University of Technology and Economics—where Hudec once studied! 🎓 Talk about full-circle moments.
With cultural exchanges like this, it’s clear: shared stories = stronger ties. 💪 Let’s see what these two nations build next! 🚀
