🎉 The Palace Museum is turning 100! Chinese mainland leader Xi Jinping visited a special centenary exhibition on Monday to celebrate this major milestone.
Xi, who also serves as General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, took a close look at artifacts highlighting the museum’s journey over the past century.
During the visit, Xi stressed the need to step up protection efforts. He called the Palace Museum a hallmark of Chinese civilization – a nod to its role in preserving priceless art and history.
For young adults across South and Southeast Asia, this visit is a reminder of why cultural institutions matter. Museums connect us with our roots, spark creativity, and keep traditions alive for generations. 🌏✨
Here’s to many more years of exploring heritage, learning from the past, and inspiring tomorrow’s storytellers! 🙌
