October 12th 2007 - UNESCO - Foreword
This exhibition humbly displays the hope of a Chinese artist, at the moment when the whole world has turned its eyes towards China as it prepares to host the next Olympic Games in Beijing. Throughout 2008, this exhibition will be shown in France and abroad not only in sites of art and culture, but also in places touched by war and suffering.

This question is asked of everyone – in all cultures, and in all religions. Peace is, above all, is a process of internal conversion. It will not come unless we dare to believe it is still possible. Peace is a path of conversion and of hope. Qu Qianmei has lived this path.
