“Through our walk in Zhejiang,the kindness of the people,the beauty of the scenery and the richness of its culture have left many footprints on our heart and our soul.Our hope is that through our Walk of Friendship we may have left behind a few positive British footprints in the lives and understanding and contributed in a small way to the‘golden era’of friendship between the people of China and the United Kingdom,”remarked British Lord Michael Bates at the premiere of The New Stories of Zhejiang,a documentary following his recentlycompleted walk across China’s coastal province of Zhejiang.The documentary was released to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.Bates’walk event and the accompanying documentary were intended to help people better understand Zhejiang and Chinese culture and build a bridge of friendship through cultural exchange.
