Over the 21 years of its operation, the China International Cultural Industry Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Expo) has achieved impressive results. During this time, the total transaction volume has exceeded 3 trillion yuan, over 45,000 enterprises have been provided with various services and 2 million types of products have been displayed. The Expo can rightfully be called a global “supermarket” where commercial activities of the cultural industry are carried out.
By implementing the “super traffic precise resource solutions” scheme, the Fair opened the way to globalization for traditional crafts, painting and other sectors of the cultural industry.
During the 2024 Fair, Lu Ting’s team from Qiandongnan, Guizhou Province set a record: their goods were sold out on the first day, and after an emergency replenishment, the rush continued and all the goods were sold out again. Lu Ting established 7 Dong embroidery bases and implemented an order-based training model, providing jobs for more than 2,000 embroiderers.
Thanks to the Fair’s platform, Dafen Village, a district of Shenzhen, has been transformed from a slum into the “oil painting capital of the world” with an annual turnover of 4 billion yuan.
Based on the data, the Fair clearly demonstrated that culture is a productive force.
In recent years, Shenzhen has been paying close attention to the implementation of national strategies and industrial development. Based on its advantages in technological innovation, it has been actively developing digital creative industry clusters and creating unique scenarios for the integration of culture and technology. In 2024, there were 3,754 enterprises in the cultural and related industries above the designated scale in the city, with a business revenue of RMB 1287.508 billion, accounting for 51.5% of the provincial total and 9.1% of the national total.
Impressive data, promising changes indicate the rapid development of China’s cultural industry. The history of the event reflects the stages of development and flourishing of the industry.
The fair, like a mirror, reveals the secret of the eternal vitality of Chinese civilization, hidden in openness and inclusiveness. This grand cultural event, which spans two decades, and its unlimited form of implementation demonstrate that only a dynamic culture can have uninterrupted continuity.
As the Fair enters its third decade, it has become a true nexus. We believe that when the depth of culture, the power of innovation, and the spirit of openness resonate, the stories of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Chinese stories will rise to the level of a modern civilization narrative with universal significance.
