PARIS — A vibrant fusion of art and sports diplomacy unfolded in Paris this week as overseas Chinese communities joined French artists to celebrate China\u2019s upcoming 15th National Games. At the heart of the event was The Unfinished Garden – a collaborative artwork by children from Guangzhou\u2019s Children\u2019s Palace, many of whom have autism or Down syndrome.
Held at the A2Z Art Gallery, the exhibition featured 15 sports-themed works symbolizing the Games\u2019 spirit. Counselor Wan Lei from the Chinese Embassy\u2019s Overseas Chinese Affairs Office praised the initiative, stating: "This cultural bridge reflects our shared human values through art and athletic aspiration."
The event coincided with a Guangzhou delegation\u2019s visit, strengthening people-to-people ties ahead of the November 9 Games opening. Attendees described the children\u2019s reinterpretation of The Little Prince\u2019s iconic flower as "a testament to inclusive creativity."
