《漫绘新丝路》序言
Capturing the Belt and Road: Introduction
2023年是习近平总书记提出共建“一带一路”倡议十周年。十年来，“一带一路”已成为深受欢迎的国际公共产品和国际合作平台，“一带一路”真正成为发展之路、机遇之路、繁荣之路。
The year 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative which was proposed by President Xi Jinping. Over the past decade, the initiative has become a widely welcomed international public good and a platform for international cooperation. It has brought tremendous opportunities of development and prosperity for all the countries that have joined.
福建是古代“海上丝绸之路”的重要起点，也是“21世纪海上丝绸之路”核心区。中国日报网携手福建湄洲日报，共同主办了本次《漫绘新丝路》征集活动。 活动聚焦漫画这一艺术形式，力求以视觉语言展现“一带一路”建设的活力，共同描绘“一带一路”的美丽画卷，积极推动文明交流互鉴，以美构建人类命运共同体，以新视角、新思考展现开放包容的中国式现代化，传播海上丝绸之路文化遗产的内涵和价值，展望新时代美好前景。
Fujian was a major starting point of the ancient maritime Silk Road and also an important hub of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Together with Meizhou Daily from Fujian province, China Daily is hosting this collection under the theme “Capturing the Belt and Road”. The activity focuses on the art form of cartoons and aims to display the vigor of the Belt and Road through visual language. By painting the beautiful landscape of the Belt and Road, which promotes exchanges among different civilizations and thus builds a community with a shared future of mankind, we hope to present our readers a new angel of understanding the Chinese path to modernization. While inheriting the cultural heritages and values of ancient maritime Silk Road, we are also embracing the bright future of a new era.
借助本次活动，我们希望能以丰富的漫画作品编织“融汇”之美，展现丝路的古今故事，力求通过这些作品，让国人更真切地感受世界，让世界更好地了解中国，让所有人都能一起欣赏“一带一路”建设的多彩篇章。
The collection also aims to display the beauty of integration. It includes stories of the Silk Road from both ancient and modern times. Through the artists’ works, we hope to help Chinese readers gain a better understanding of the world, and hope the world might also gain a better understanding of China. Let us enjoy these colorful works of the Belt and Road together.
