STORYLINE:

In a recent sharing session "China Through the Eyes of Hungarian Photographers" held in Budapest, a group of Hungarian photographers shared their beyond-expectation 8-day trip to China.

The event kicked off a series of "Chinese Stories" lectures organized by the China Cultural Center in Budapest.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Hungarian): ZSOLT HAMARITS, President of Association of Hungarian Photographers
"This trip far exceeded my expectations. I actually arrived in a dream world. I'm still dreaming about this journey. It's hard to put into words how amazing it felt.
If possible, I'd love to repeat this experience ten times, a hundred times."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Hungarian): ZSOLT OLAF SZAMODY, Former president of Association of Hungarian Photographers
"I was in China for the first time in 2008, as I received an invitation to the Pingyao International Photo Festival.
At that time, China was exotic, new and strange for me.
But now, everybody knows that China alone in the world is capable of achieving a spectacular and special development in architecture, public transport and communications."

These Hungarian photographers' works reflecting their visits to China will be shown to the public during the "Silk Road's Reflection" exhibition in 2024.
