"Imagine the anticipation as you approach an exhibit dedicated to ancient civilizations. It's a moment akin to hearing the opening chords of a favorite melody," says singer-songwriter Liu Lian, when asked about her recent visit to Henan Museum in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan province. "It's just like the songs of your favorite singer that you've listened to hundreds of times. The artifacts, once distant images in textbooks, are now right in front of you in tangible form," she adds. "Each visit to a museum unfolds like a song, with artifacts resonating like familiar tunes, stirring memories and emotions."
