"Along the way, I have been striving to build a warm and powerful fairy tale world, hoping that more children in the world can read my fairy tales." "Many of my stories have been drawn into picture books by excellent Chinese painters, and we are also collaborating to create more fresh and interesting Chinese stories..." In Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, in the early winter of Jiangnan small town, the cold wind outside is steep, and the warmth inside is harmonious, More than 120 guests from around the world gathered together to participate in the "Childlike Hearts of the World -2023 International Symposium on the Dissemination of Works by Chinese New Generation Children's Literature Writers", discussing the future development and international exchange and cooperation of Chinese children's literature. The work "Going Abroad" received attention. According to the "2021 Basic Situation of the National Press and Publication Industry" released by the State Administration of Press and Publication, the total number of books exported by various publishing import and export units in China that year reached 1.5137 million, accounting for 27.38% of the total, and the highest proportion among all categories. A large number of Chinese children's literature works have gone overseas, refreshing local readers. The works of international Andersen Award winner Cao Wenxuan have been translated into over 40 languages, including English, French, German, and Japanese, and have been widely praised by overseas readers. Writers Shen Shixi's works such as "Between Cats and Dogs", "The Flying Antelope", and "The Last War Elephant" depict the natural habits and inner world of animals, evoke emotional resonance, and successfully export them overseas. The children's picture book "Little Stone Lion" by renowned original picture book painter Xiong Liang, rooted in traditional Chinese culture and characterized by ink wash style, tells the story of rural development and changes, attracting a group of overseas readers to leave comments and praise on social media. With the continuous improvement of the level of Chinese creators and the deepening of international cultural exchanges, Chinese children's literature has shown strong vitality.
