Since ancient times, arts have been playing a role of friendly messenger of international exchange and communication. With the difference arising from the cultural context, the charm of arts only brings some novelty effects to foreign audiences rather than penetrates deeply into their hearts. Against the background of globalization, culture “going abroad” is already a fashion in many countries including China. Then some questions come such as how to enable audience in different cultural contexts to appreciate every bits of charm of arts and how to enable fine sentiments embodied in arts really touch their hearts. This demands our technique and wisdom. “Image and Spread: Forum on Cultural Exchanges between China and Foreign Countries” is just an effort in pursuit of wisdom. As to American Young Artists Troupe sponsored by Celebrating Children: US and China, when American youngsters lived together with a Chinese family, they feel much closer in feelings and then in Chinese culture. By “going abroad”, we mean to overcome cultural barriers so that the charm of arts will be spread all over the world and all creations of beauty will benefit the people’s life of different countries. 

In many years when kids have grown up or become senior citizen, in their memory, the foreign songs are still clear to recall. Though apart from each other, we still miss and make a wish for each other. It becomes a fantastic moment when we tell the offspring that priceless friendship. 

Such a charm of arts is always in the exchange.
