"Although they are creations from different cultures, national identities and aesthetic mentality, all of them take the form of sculpture art to co-shape the spirit of the Belt and Road," said Wu Weishan, curator of the National Art Museum of China and chairman of the Chinese Urban Sculpture Artists Association.
