Therefore, he especially hopes to share the experiences with them. People will have an immersed sense when they appreciate the photos and movies.

Meanwhile, the works related to the Chinese garden are the solid proof for thedeep friendship between the Rockefeller Family and China. Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. travelled to China in 1921 for the opening of the Peking Union Medical College established by The Rockefeller Foundation. Based upon their exposure to the cultural gander of China as well as other Asian destinations, they were inspired to make their summer home in Seal Harbor, Maine reflect the marvels they had come to love. The garden was affectionately called Mrs. Rockefeller’s Chinese Garden. He said the photographs and videos taken here all symbolize the spirit of the garden itself: an immersion of East and West with emphasis on international understanding through cultural exchange.
After the exhibition, Mr. Steven Rockefeller II donated eight hours motion movie to the geracomium built by Huangluo Temple in Suzhou. Before this, he had sent his works to the local geracomium in New York City as well. It’s well received and won highly praises.
