Exchanges and mutual learning enrich civilizations. Given "a shared dream," various civilizations coexist in harmony. For a Shared Dream — the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Countries Art Exhibition and Painting Exhibition of Female Artists and Children opened in the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC) in Beijing on September 7, 2021. Shen Yueyue, Vice-Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, President of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) and President of the Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation Commission (GNFCC SCO), attended the opening ceremony with Chinese and foreign guests.
Shen announced the exhibition's opening and said the purpose of holding such an event was to enhance people-to-people connectivity and advance the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. She watched carefully and learned about some of the classic works by artists from different countries. She communicated with diplomats from SCO countries, including Andrei Denisov, Russia's ambassador to China.
Shen said all SCO countries boast splendid cultures and their artists' works express their longing for peace, stability and a happy life. People's will lays a solid foundation for the building of a closer community with a shared future, as promoted by Chinese President Xi Jinping and state leaders from other countries.

In the exhibition hall of children's paintings, Shen was glad to see a long scroll ink-and-wash entitled "Beautiful Life" and the making of a sand table about the 2022 Winter Olympics (to be held in Beijing). She encouraged children to be brave and do sports, so they can enhance physical strength and become braver and more persistent.

As a representative of SCO countries' diplomats in China, Denisov said holding the exhibition ahead of SCO's 20th anniversary summit in Dushanbe, which opened on September 16, was significant. The works of art on display showed vividly the fine arts traditions, folk traits and unique cultures of various SCO countries. The works represented the shared concepts and values, on which the SCO was based, founded and has continued to develop, Denisov added.
Wu Weishan, NAMOC's director, said the exhibits showed the colorful and harmonious beauty of humanity shared by SCO countries.
