Thank you, director Zhang for the display of Asia's outstanding culture to the whole world. I am looking forward to the closing ceremony as well! It must a long course with innumerable hardships for you to prepare this ceremony. Please take good care of yourself."

The first meeting between these two was back in year 2005 when BYJ made his first visit to Beijing China. These two people had a dinner together and had a long and friendly talk.

BYJ had mentioned to Director Zhang that he's looking forward to the opening ceremony.

Three years passed, just before the opening ceremony, BYJ received a surgery for the injury on his shoulder so that he could not fly to Beijing to watch the opening ceremony but only to watch it on TV.

BOF said:"Since the theme of the opening ceremony is the four treasures of Study, BYJ thought it would be perfect to present the four treasures to
director Zhang.The writing brush and ink-slab were made by two experts from the culture heritage and paper and ink were selected by them as well."

BOF also said:" Director Zhang YIMOU felt very grateful after receiving the gifts from BYJ."
