On July 9th, the day following the launch of the 2026 Global Writers in Guangdong Program, seven writers from six APEC member economies, namely Indonesia, South Korea, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam, embarked on an immersive exploration of science and technology at the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum.

Shaped like a giant ship and clad in a liquid metal skin, this museum is one of Shenzhen's "Ten Cultural Facilities of the New Era." Its striking futuristic aesthetic offered the writers their first window into China's technological innovation.

Inside the "Hello, World" exhibition hall, a seven-meter-diameter silver spherical screen hangs in mid-air like an "intelligent pupil." The writers simply stepped onto the sensor zone, and within seconds, their smiling faces appeared on the screen. Vietnamese writer Nguyen Khac Ngan Vi could not help exclaiming that the moment she entered, she was instantly reminded of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."

What impressed South Korean writer Lee Byung-ryul most was the earthquake rescue robot. He said, "What struck me was not the advanced technology itself, but the spirit it conveys—a belief in using every possible technological means to pull people out of danger and into safety."

As someone living alone, Lee said that such technological safeguards provide exactly the sense of security he needs most. He described his visit to the science museum as a "completely eye-opening experience." He had initially thought the museum was just a futuristic-looking building, but upon entering, he discovered that it embodies Shenzhen's commitment tobuilding a community with a shared future for humanity and enhancing the common well-being of humanity.

APEC作家走进深圳科学技术馆

7月9日，2026全球作家写广东计划启动次日，来自印度尼西亚、韩国、墨西哥、秘鲁、新加坡、越南6个APEC成员国的7位作家在深圳科学技术馆展开了一场沉浸式的科技探索之旅。

这座形如巨轮、披覆“液态金属外衣”的“新时代十大文化设施”之一，以其强烈的未来感，为作家们打开了读懂中国科技创新的第一扇窗。

踏入“你好，世界”展厅，直径七米的银色球形巨幕如一颗悬浮的“智能瞳孔”悬于半空。作家们只需站上感应区，几秒钟后，自己的笑脸便跃然幕上。越南作家阮刻银微忍不住感叹：“一走进这里，我立刻想到了斯坦利·库布里克的《2001太空漫游》！”

令韩国作家李秉律印象最为深刻的，是地震救灾机器人。他说：“震撼我的不是它的高科技外壳，而是它背后所传递的精神——一种不惜动用一切技术力量，也要将人类从危难中拉向更安全处境的信念。”

作为一名独居者，他表示，这样的科技保障，正是他内心最为需要的安全感。李秉律将这场科技馆之旅称为一次“全新的认知冲击”——原以为科技馆只是一座新潮的建筑，走进去才发现，这里涌动着深圳“为人类命运共同体、为人类共同福祉而努力”的力量。
