Fifty years ago, General de Gaulle decided to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. Thus, France became the first major Western country to exchange ambassadors with Beijing.
It was also a visionary decision regarding a rising great power, whose importance in world affairs is now self-evident.
Over the past 50 years, Sino-French relations have stood out among relations between major countries for their strategic, global, and pioneering nature.
On the occasion of this fiftieth anniversary, events bear witness to the exceptional Franco-Chinese friendship.
At the Palais de la Méditerranée, a contemporary art exhibition and a traditional Chinese performance reveal their culture and creativity. This performance allowed Chinese culture to be presented to the people of Nice.
Chen Fu, a painter, on the theme “Chinese Painting Draws China”; a true invitation to travel, where harmony and gentleness are felt through these paintings.
A sumptuous performance combining lightness, harmony, and grace, innovating for its audience. A multitude of colors to dazzle these spectators, with quality dances and songs.
This fiftieth anniversary will also allow for the deepening of cooperation in all areas of creation, so that each people can have ever-greater access to what the other produces, whether it be live performance, contemporary art, or cinema.
This particular year reflects two countries that, faithful to their history and culture, want to turn together towards the future.
