With the improvement of China’s comprehensive national strength and international status, much importance is unprecedentedly attached to overseas-oriented cultural publicity. This renders favorable conditions, as well as precious opportunities, for cultural communications between China and foreign countries. The year 2013 is one with plenty of challenges and benefits, as we made remarkable achievements on the ground of advantageous overseas- oriented publicity based on Great Culture. On behalf of the entire staff of SICA, I hereby extend our sincere gratitude for the concern and support offered by multifarious levels of government departments, various partner institutions and cultural institutions, people from all circles of life, and friends from both home and abroad. In this booklet we present an annual report on the events held and programs initiated in 2013 in forms of journals and pictures, with a hope that our friends from different fields will know better about SICA, continue to provide support for us, and move forward alongside with us to make more achievements in cultural communications between China and foreign countries.

He Jing expressed, This year marks the 35th anniversary of the signing of Sino-Japan Treaty of Peace and Freindship, as He Jing said, and the exhibition of Lu Zhiping’s works made remarkable contributions to the exchanges in printmaking art between China and Japan, as well as to the friendship and understanding between the Chinese and Japanese people. The one-week exhibition featured 45 pieces of Lu Zhiping’s printmaking works. The modern Chinese printmaking art is not only the fine flower of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, but also the fruit of inheritance and innovation of artistic traditions. While the Chinese printmaking art can be dated back to Tang Dynasty, its modern form advocated by Lu Xun has been closely related to the time and social life since it appeared in the 1930s. The modern Chinese printmaking art was an integral part of the country’s New Culture Movement. For a long period of time, the printmaking artists in China had dual identity as artist and revolutionary. Shanghai is not only the cradle of the emerging printmaking art in China, but also a destination for the country’s printmaking artists. As a form of art developed in the environment of Shanghai-style culture, the printmaking art is naturally all-embracing. Lu Zhiping’s works attracted many Chinese and Japanese artists and art lovers, as he represented the printmaking artists in Shanghai. Culture and art have been serving as significant bridge and bond that connect the Chinese and Japanese people. China and Japan are close to each other, with similar cultural conventions.
