当全球目光聚焦APEC，一场关于“连接、创新、繁荣”的对话在苏州悠然回响。在CGTN《The Hype》栏镜头下，六悦博物馆创始人杜维明先生，与多位国际友人共聚水乡黎里，畅谈文化纽带与未来愿景。
As the world focuses on APEC, a conversation about “connection, innovation, and prosperity” gently echoes in Suzhou. Captured by CGTN’s “The Hype,” Six Arts Museum founder Mitch Dudek and international guests gather at Suzhou Museum West to discuss cultural ties and future visions. CGTN (China Global Television Network) is a multinational broadcast network that provides news and information from China to the world.
在采访中，六悦博物馆创始人杜维明先生分享了为何选择将博物馆落地苏州黎里古镇。对他而言，宁静的水乡如同回到自己在美国的家乡。苏州历史悠久、文化深厚，是展示中国民间艺术的理想之地。他也感慨，并非自己选择了苏州，而是苏州选择了他。
In the interview, Mitch, founder of the Six Arts Museum, shared why he chose to establish the museum in Suzhou’s Lili Ancient Town. For him, the peaceful water town felt like returning to his rural hometown in the United States. With its deep cultural heritage and artistic spirit, Suzhou became the ideal place to showcase traditional Chinese folk art. He expressed that it was not he who chose Suzhou, but Suzhou that chose him.
他强调，人们之间真正的联系源自邻里般的互助与情感共鸣，而非地理或政策。在六悦博物馆，椅子、桌子、窗格等日常器物，让中外观众都能从中找到熟悉与惊喜。
Mitch emphasized that true connections among people do not come from geography or policy, but from the neighborly spirit of mutual support and shared humanity. At the museum, everyday objects such as chairs, tables, and window panels allow visitors from different backgrounds to find both familiarity and discovery.
他解释，“六悦”寓意六感皆悦，博物馆取消玻璃阻隔，让观众以触觉、嗅觉等全面体验文化。访谈最后，他用一个词总结未来：Interconnected。他相信无论世界如何变化，艺术与文化永远是连接彼此的语言。
He explained that “Six Arts” represents joy through all six senses. With no glass barriers, the museum encourages visitors to touch, open, and interact with artefacts, even to smell traditional herbs. He concluded the interview with one word: “Interconnected.” Although the future may be uncertain, he believes art and culture will always keep people connected around the world.
