"This time, we have brought installation art works designed by children to Milan Design Week's China and Design exhibition. This is a very good platform.
We hope that children's designs, ideas and concepts about design, and their works can be presented in a fashionable city like Milan. And we also hope that more Chinese children can have opportunities to present their works on the international stage, to convey the charm of Chinese nature, Chinese culture and Chinese tradition."

"I came to the exhibition today because I am very interested in Chinese culture and I believe that cultural exchange is the basis for mutual understanding. I like the Chinese elements. These design items are very beautiful. I can learn a lot here. After seeing these beautiful exhibits, I hope to have a pleasant trip to China."
