尊敬的会员、合作伙伴及各界朋友：

Dear Members, Partners, and Friends:

在这个全球化不断深化的时代，纸文化作为人类文明的重要载体，承载着丰富的历史和文化内涵。纸文化国际交流协会（PCIEA）成立以来，始终致力于促进纸文化的保护、传承和创新，推动国际间的文化交流与合作。

In this era of deepening globalization, paper culture, as an important carrier of human civilization, bears rich historical and cultural connotations. Since its establishment, the Paper Culture International Exchange Association (PCIEA) has been committed to promoting the protection, inheritance, and innovation of paper culture, and fostering cultural exchange and cooperation internationally.

自协会筹备以来，我们在全球范围内开展了多项有影响力的活动，包括纸文化研讨会、国际展览、艺术家驻留项目以及教育推广活动。通过这些努力，我们不仅成功保护和传承了许多濒临失传的传统技艺，还促进了不同文化背景下的艺术交流与合作，激发了创意与创新。

Since the association's inception, we have carried out numerous influential activities globally, including paper culture seminars, international exhibitions, artist residency projects, and educational promotion activities. Through these efforts, we have successfully protected and inherited many endangered traditional techniques, facilitated artistic exchange and cooperation across different cultural backgrounds, and stimulated creativity and innovation.

我们深知，纸文化的保护和发展离不开广大会员和社会各界的支持与参与。在此，我们向所有关心和支持纸文化事业的朋友们表示最诚挚的感谢。你们的热情与投入，是推动我们不断前行的动力源泉。

We fully understand that the protection and development of paper culture depend on the support and participation of our members and the wider community. Here, we express our most sincere gratitude to all friends who care about and support the cause of paper culture. Your enthusiasm and dedication are the driving force that propels us forward.
