The Embassy of the Republic of Colombia in China hosted a colloquium with Héctor Abad Faciolince, a Colombian novelist, writer and journalist. The writer shared on Tuesday his growth journey from a journalist to achieve his dream as a writer, his observation of the Colombian society and his impression about the changes in China. 
In a fully packed hall, Minister Plenipotentiary Jose Fernando Bermúdez Cendales said in his opening remarks that the event is part of an initiative to bring Colombian culture closer to the Chinese public while simultaneously creating new spaces for dialogue and exchange between the two countries.
Bermúdez said that Abad's visit to China offers a particularly valuable opportunity to showcase the richness of our literature and to strengthen the cultural and human bridges connecting Colombia and China.
The session, chaired by Santiago Gamboa, writer and minister counselor of the Colombian Embassy, focused on the career and body of work of Abad and in particular, El olvido que seremos (Oblivion: A Memoir).

Abad's book is a seminal work of contemporary Colombian literature in which personal and family memory engage deeply with Colombia's recent history. Its translation into Chinese allows this story to reach new readers and represents an extraordinary opportunity to bring both societies closer together through literature, per some commentators. 
"We hope this gathering will be an open conversation among cultures, readers, and experiences, and a new expression of the friendship that Colombia and China continue to build," said Bermúdez. 
Abad, one of the most important voices in contemporary Latin American literature, shared with the Global Times that this is his second trip in China. The last time he visited the country was two decades ago. 
This time, in his eyes, China has changed a lot. In many ways, the country stands for the future of the world. 
Abad said he is surprised to see how much Chinese people are depending on the electric devices and network to communicate in a virtual world, and said that he felt "like an alien."
Talking about his interaction with readers in Shanghai, Abad smiled, saying that the readers selected some phrases from his book and asked him to write down as part of the autography and signature for them. 
In his book, El Olvido Que Seremos (The Oblivion We Will Be), which is acclaimed as a "love letter from a son to his father," is not only a deeply affectionate look back at familial bonds but also a courageous attempt to defy oblivion. 
Rooted in true events, The Oblivion We Will Be chronicles the life of his own father. Abad noted that his father was killed in August 1987 - nearly forty years ago.
In the Western literary tradition, a father is often portrayed as a distant or even negative figure. His father, however, was "totally different - a man of love and deep sense of responsibility in both the public sphere and his family life."
Such image of a benevolent, non-authoritarian father has impressed his Chinese readers as well, he said. 
As a physician, Abad's father dedicated his life to addressing fundamental issues affecting people's well-being, such as drinking water quality and public health, steadfast in the belief that the world could be made better through action.
Abad's work addresses themes such as memory, violence, inequality, and the human condition, deeply marked by the murder of his father, an event that inspired his most iconic book, The Oblivion We Will Be was published in Chinese by Writer's Publishing House in Beijing in July.

B |     Veteran actress Saira Banu took a trip down memory lane to wish Dilip Kumar on his birth anniversary. Kumar's lifelong companion penned a beautiful Instagram post that left fans and well-wishers deeply moved on the late actor's 103rd birth anniversary.     Sharing three cherished video clips, she reflected on her years with him and wrote, "My dearest Yousuf Saab,     Every year, when this day returns, it brings with it a gentle stirring in my heart… a mourn of all the seasons I have watched you live, not merely as an artist for the world, but as the finest human being I have ever known."     She added, "People often speak of you as an institution, a phenomenon, a genius beyond comparison and they are right. But I have seen the quieter miracles: the way you prepared for every role by breathing in its time, its silence… how you dissolved into the soil of each character until even I, who knew you best, would search for the man behind the performance. Your dedication was always a sacred offering to your art and fans."                                                                           View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Saira Banu Khan (@sairabanu)               Taking to the comment section, the veteran actress continued, "For generations, artists have walked in your light. They still do seeking in you not just craft, but purity of purpose. For the audience, your films were like returning to festivals that never lose their warmth. People have loved you with a devotion I have rarely seen in this world. And yet, despite the reverence, you remained untouched by the noise of fame."     She also remembered his innocence and generosity, saying he would part with beloved things like a watch, a shawl, a pen to loved ones, “with the innocence of a child who values hearts more than possessions.” Sharing a charming memory, she wrote of the evening he simply held her hand and led her to a wedding “without a moment’s announcement."               "Your inner world, Yousuf Saab, was always carved from something rarer than time simple yet profound, free of material wants, rich with meaning, and devoted to the quiet discipline of truth. To have lived beside you, to have witnessed the man behind the legend, remains the greatest honour of my life. Sometimes, in a whisper only the heart understands, I find myself saying, “Khuda se poochun… kya humein Yousuf hamesha ke liye nahin mil sakte?” Happy Birthday, Yousuf Jaan."     Her tribute offered an intimate portrait of the man behind the legend: humble, spontaneous, and guided by a quiet moral discipline.     Also Read: Saira Banu: Dilip Kumar Loved Dharmendra Like He Was a Real, Younger Brother - Exclusive。
