A China-Hungary cultural exchange event was held in Budapest on Friday to mark the growing bond between the two countries. The event was co-hosted by China Media Group (CMG), Hungary's Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (MTVA) and Hungarian-Chinese Friendship Association (MKBT). The Hungarian version of the Chinese documentary L.E. HUDEC, produced by the China Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio Group of CMG, was showcased at the event. The documentary narrates the life story of Hungarian architect Ladislav Hudec, highlighting the theme that civilization is enriched through exchange and enhanced through mutual learning. Born in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, Hudec fled the turmoil of World War I and sought refuge in China. Settling in Shanghai in 1918, he played a key role in shaping the skyline of what would become China's largest metropolis. Hudec designed nearly 70 buildings in Shanghai -- 27 of which are now recognized as outstanding historical landmarks. Among his iconic works are the Park Hotel, once the tallest building in Asia, the Grand Theater, the Moore Memorial Church and the wedge-shaped Wukang Building, formerly known as the Normandie Apartments. Hungarian figures from architecture, culture and media attended the event, along with the chairman of the Hudec Cultural Foundation and members of the Hudec family. They expressed their gratitude to CMG for the documentary that brings Hudec's life and career to the forefront. The documentary is being broadcast on Hungary's national cultural channel operated by the MTVA from Sept 9 to Oct 4. Shotlist: Budapest, Hungary - Sept 26, 2025: 1.
