On July 8th, the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association officially launched the Shenzhen leg of its 2026 Global Writers on Guangdong program. Seven writers from six APEC member economies will take up residency in Guangdong for a nearly two-month creative literary tour.

The seven writers hail from Indonesia, South Korea, Peru, Mexico, Singapore, and Vietnam. The group includes poets, novelists, and travel writers, as well as scholars and authors who have long taught in China and conducted sinological research.

Later that day, the writers visited the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning (MOCAUP) to view the Exhibition on the 40th Anniversary of Guangdong's Reform and Opening-up. They then traveled to Yumin (Fishermen's) Village in Luohu District, where they heard the remarkable story of how a local fishing settlement evolved into one of China's earliest "ten-thousand-yuan household" villages.

Peruvian writer Gian Pierre Codarlupo took notes while watching an introductory video about the village. He told reporters that the story astonished him, calling it "an unprecedented transformation" .In his view, China's development experience offers Latin America a compelling case study worthy of close observation.

South Korean writer Song Gabin, who has studied and taught in China and frequently traveled among South Korea, China, and India, expressed her anticipation for the journey ahead. She said she is especially looking forward to watching the hit film "Dear You" to learn more about the Chaoshan Qiaopi (overseas Chinese remittances) culture.

In the coming weeks, the writers will also visit Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, and Guangzhou, exploring and crafting new "Guangdong stories" through a literary lens.

【视频】2026“全球作家写广东计划”启幕，APEC经济体作家开启深圳采风

7月8日，由广东省作家协会主办的2026“全球作家写广东计划”开启APEC之城深圳采风活动。来自APEC成员经济体中6个国家的7名作家将常驻广东，开展为期近两个月的创作采风。

7名作家来自印度尼西亚、韩国、秘鲁、墨西哥、新加坡与越南。他们中既有诗人、小说家、旅行作家，也有长期在中国任教、开展汉学研究的学者和写作者。

8日，作家们走进深圳市当代艺术与城市规划馆，参观广东改革开放40周年展览，到罗湖渔民村，聆听当地如何从渔船人家发展为全国最早的“万元户村”。

秘鲁作家吉安·皮埃尔·科达鲁波一边观看渔民村介绍短片，一边在笔记本上记录。他告诉记者，渔民村的故事让他非常惊讶，“这是一种前所未有的转型”。在他看来，中国的发展经验为拉丁美洲提供了一个值得观察的样本。

韩国作家宋佳彬在中国求学、任教，长期往返于韩国、中国与印度之间，她表示，期待在接下来的行程中观看电影《给阿嬷的情书》，了解潮汕侨批文化。

接下来，作家们还将走进中山、珠海、江门和广州，从文学角度探索和创作崭新的“广东故事”。
