2022 marks the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The gunfire of the Nanchang Uprising 95 years ago opened a new page of the Chinese nation from suffering to rejuvenation.
Peace does not come easily. In order to better maintain international peace and security, the United Nations adopted General Assembly resolution 55/282 in September 2001, and decided to designate September 21 as the International Day of Peace from 2002.
On the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the 2022 International Peace Day, the United Nations Foundation for the Protection of the World Intangible Cultural Heritage specially launched the selection of "artists for international peace".
In view of Zheng Weili outstanding achievements in Chinese painting and calligraphy and his outstanding contributions to international cultural exchanges, the United Nations World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation has awarded Deng Daduan the honorary title of "International Artist for Peace" after being recommended by international authoritative organizations such as the China International Cultural and Art Exchange and Development Center, the European Philatelic Association, the Landscape Painting International Art Center, and the Art Finance Journal. This is not only an affirmation and praise of the outstanding achievements of Chinese artists, but also a deep call for world peace!
The United Nations "artists for international peace" are a group of internationally renowned artists (or groups) who have outstanding personal qualities and have made outstanding contributions in the field of culture, art and education. Before that, painters Picasso, Qi Baishi, Han Meilin, singers Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and musicians from more than 40 countries, including the World Peace Symphony Orchestra, have all won this honor.
This time, the United Nations World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation awarded the title of "International Peace Artist" to Zheng Weili, which caused great social repercussions and high praise. In the twenty-first century, where wars, riots, and crises continue, peace and development remain the common cause and theme of all mankind.
In order to better coordinate the "International Peace Artists" and "Art and Peace" themed activities, United Nations Post, France Post, Canada Post, and Austria Post will simultaneously issue stamps for international peace artists.
Regardless of the hard times, or the new era of reform and development, Chinese art master Zheng Weili has always used her works and performances to interpret the positive power and spread the concept of peace. She is a veritable ambassador of peace culture!
