Chinese art exhibition in US bridges hometowns and hearts

China Daily  

The photograph that greeted me at the entrance to a special exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art had a startling familiarity. How did my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, just happen to lead a special exhibition titled China's Southern Paradise: Treasures from the Lower Yangtze River with a photograph from my adopted hometown in China? The museum boasts one of the West's most acclaimed collections of Chinese art, spanning over 5,000 years with many notable works. But the Cleveland Museum of Art, in building a bridge between Cleveland and Hangzhou through this special exhibition, renewed my hope as an example of an American institution that values cultural exchanges with China, even at a time when over 80 percent of my fellow Americans harbor negative views of the country, according to a 2023 survey by the Pew Research Center. At the special exhibition, I was delighted to show my family in Cleveland renowned artifacts from Hangzhou, including a ceremonial jade disk from the Liangzhu Culture, and the names of museums I frequented there, such as the Zhejiang Provincial Museum.
