Prince William launched a year of cultural exchange between Britain and China yesterday, as part of his four-day tour of the country.
He kicked off the proceedings by dotting the eyes of a sculpture of beloved British animated character, Shaun the Sheep. Adding the finishing touches to the eyes of a lion before a lion dance is a traditional ceremony. Here, it was adapted to reflect the Year of the Sheep.
The ceremony took place at the British ambassador’s residence and marked the start of the 2015 China-UK Year of Cultural Exchange, which will support around 30 projects showcasing UK culture to China over the next few months.
Several collaborative projects between Chinese and UK artists are also currently underway.

He is an evil western influence. Evil I tells ya! He has no place in an anti western country like China.
