At the UN in New York, Chinese artist Li Guiming introduced the ancient character Fu (福), meaning blessing. Through calligraphy, he linked heritage with global cooperation, showing how culture can become diplomacy. His work, Peace and Fu, reflects the spirit of the UN’s mission and the Sustainable Development Goals — reminding the world that peace and blessing go hand in hand.
