Former WIPO director general marvel at integration of modern tech and traditions during Spring Festival



 

(ECNS) — “I think, Chinese New Year is a very good example of something that I see, as an observer, repeated over and over in China. And in Chinese culture, that is the capacity to integrate traditional values with the modern and new technologies,” said Francis Gurry, the former Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in a recent interview with China News Network.

He noted that the extensive rail network has made the annual Spring Festival travel rush possible, providing convenience for families to reunite, while digital technology has brought the tradition of red envelopes online, adding a modern touch to the holiday.

In conclusion, Gurry sincerely wishes all his Chinese friends a happy Year of the Snake and hopes everyone would have a successful and smooth year ahead. (Lin Zhuowei)
