WUYI, China, Dec. 07, 2025 — On December 6, 2025, the “Silk Road for All Children” International Children’s Literature Week and the 10th Fairy Tale Conference took place in Wuyi, Zhejiang, China. Guided by the China Authors Association and co-sponsored by its International Department, the China Intercontinental Communication Center, and the Zhejiang Authors Association, the gathering drew over one hundred children’s literature authors, publishers, scholars, and representatives from cultural institutions across 25 countries and regions.
Under the theme of “Hearts of wonder, world of harmony,” the conference successfully established a robust platform for cross-border exchanges in children’s literature and children’s IP transformation. This was facilitated through various formats, including acclaimed authors visiting campuses, keynote speeches, announcements of achievements, fairy tale theater productions, and on-site field research.
During the opening ceremony, a series of milestones from China–foreign collaboration projects in children’s literature were unveiled. These covered numerous areas, such as the training of young authors, the development of child-friendly towns, the domestic and international dissemination of fairy tale film and television productions, copyright exports, and the release of new books. These comprehensive results highlight Wuyi’s dedicated efforts and international impact in the realm of children’s literature. The organizing committee also conferred the title of “Fairy Tale Wuyi” International Communication Ambassador upon several international guests, including Kreidieh Shereen, Chair of the 2026 International Hans Christian Andersen Award Jury; Ian Denison, Former UNESCO Chief of Publishing and Brand & Coordinator of the World Book Capital Program and World Book and Copyright Day; Françoise Hervet, Vice Mayor of Nevers, France; Kiran Gautam, President of Current Media and Research Centre and Current Publication Pvt. Ltd. Nepal; and Elena Kazakevich, a Russian Children’s Literature Author.
