As one of the major BRICS cultural events held in South Africa this year, the photo exhibit Vanishing Cultures of BRICS opened in Kimberley on Nov 14. Guests from the South Africa government and the Chinese embassy in South Africa attended the opening ceremony.
Ten photography works featuring traditional Chinese culture such as the shadow puppet, dragon boat and the Water-splashing Festival greet art lovers in South Africa. Zheng Wen, cultural counselor of the Chinese embassy, introduced the stories behind each photo.
