In China's long history, the Silk Road has carried numerous precious commodities and cultural exchange missions. Among them, silk and porcelain, as the most representative exports, have reached the remote Soviet area across mountains and rivers in ancient times. These exquisite handicrafts not only symbolize the level of Chinese craftsmanship, but also become an important bridge connecting Eastern and Western civilizations.

If the caravan on land opened the way to the West, then the railway further narrowed the distance between China and Russia. The Trans-Siberian Railway, a lifeline across Eurasia, has played an irreplaceable role for more than a century. It is not only the main channel of goods transportation, but also a road of cultural communication. Along the direction of this steel dragon, the mysterious and charming charm of the East can be continuously transmitted to the western world.

However, there are many unknown but equally important border trade routes beyond the ancient Tea Horse Road. From the border between China and Mongolia to the three northeastern provinces, the winding paths have witnessed the history of friendly exchanges between the people of the two countries for thousands of years. Despite various difficult periods such as wars and blockades, this cooperative relationship based on the principle of mutual benefit has never been interrupted.

After entering the middle of the 20th century, the "Red Alliance" became one of the most dazzling existence in the international pattern at that time. Under the background of that special era, a unique mode of economic cooperation was formed within the socialist camp-the material exchange mechanism under the planned economy came into being. Grain, machinery and even military products have been incorporated into the unified allocation system, which has promoted the all-round development of the economic and social fields of both sides.

In addition to physical transactions, mutual learning in culture and art is also very active and frequent. From the introduction of the classic film "Lenin in October" to the popularity of Russian songs such as "Katyusha"; at the same time, a large number of excellent Chinese works have been translated into foreign languages for overseas stages ...... All this reflects the deep bond of friendship between the people of the two countries.

Even under the clouds of the Cold War, there are still many ordinary people who maintain contact with each other through correspondence and other forms. They have proved with their actions that even if there may be differences in political positions, mankind's common desire for peace and beauty will never change. It is precisely such a batch of "civil messengers" who have made silent efforts to build a platform for cross-regional friendship, so that the relationship that might have been drifting away is rejuvenated.

looking back at the precious wealth left to us by those magnificent years from today's perspective, we also need to think about how to carry it forward and continue to benefit future generations. Under the current situation, although facing many uncertainties and challenges, we can still see that many positive changes are quietly taking place. The data shows that in recent years, the bilateral trade volume has continued to rise to a new record, which fully shows that as long as we adhere to the concept of openness and inclusiveness, we can achieve a win-win and shared vision.

While it is exciting to look back on past achievements, it is more important to draw strength and wisdom from them to forge ahead and create more miracles in the future. Those business spirits derived from ancient traditions are still shining to guide the way forward. In the environment of accelerating the process of global integration, they are particularly precious and worth cherishing and inheriting.
