Editor’s Note from Celebrity Media: On the occasion of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, renowned calligrapher Li Guiming’s “Peace-Blessing” cultural diplomacy has become a cultural highlight of international attention. Famous calligrapher and “Peace-Blessing” cultural ambassador Li Guiming made a solemn declaration under the sculpture “Knotted Gun” presented by Luxembourg at the UN Headquarters:

“Peace is a blessing, blessing all humankind!”

 

This time, calligrapher Li Guiming came to the United Nations and added the word “Peace” before the character “Blessing,” linking Chinese “Blessing” culture with the UN’s vision of world peace through a vigorous and powerful calligraphy scroll.

Li Guiming has long been dedicated to using the calligraphy of “Blessing” to convey humanity’s shared aspirations. From CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala in China to New York’s Times Square in the United States, from Xiamen University’s centennial celebration to “Fuyao University of Science and Technology,” his works have become cultural beacons across borders. From blessings during the global pandemic to appeals for peace on the international stage, the culture of “Blessing” has demonstrated the humanistic depth and global vision of Chinese culture.

The United Nations General Assembly emphasizes mutual learning among civilizations and win-win cooperation. Against this backdrop, “Peace-Blessing” cultural diplomacy uses culture as a bridge to provide new possibilities for global dialogue. It reminds people that peace requires not only institutional guarantees but also cultural resonance.

In today’s world, facing conflicts and divisions, the meaning conveyed by “Peace-Blessing” cultural diplomacy is especially precious. It reminds us that peace is not only the foundation of international mechanisms, but “Blessing” is the true fruit of peace. This makes cultural nourishment and resonance of hearts even more necessary. Through calligraphy, Li Guiming has tightly connected the Chinese cultural concept of “Blessing” with the UN’s advocacy for peace, allowing the whole world to share the wisdom and blessings from the East. Just as he declared at the UN Headquarters:

Peace is a blessing, blessing all humankind!
