Born in 1992, an exhibition featuring artworks from 30 Chinese and Korean artists born in the year 1992, opened in Shanghai on Thursday.

Kim Seung-ho, Republic of Korea consul general in Shanghai, said at the opening ceremony that the exhibition is meant to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea.

"As the Chinese idiom goes: A man should be independent in society at 30. In the past 30 years, a generation of Chinese and Korean people have worked hard and made excellent achievements in developing the bilateral relations," said Kim.

"Now, it is time to hand the relay baton to the younger generation, and I hope young people from both countries can work together and become the main force driving development in the region and the world."
