China meets Ceylon in London - Hsiao Chien and J. M. Tambimuttu, 1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken during the tumultuous years of World War II, we witness a remarkable encounter between two influential figures from different corners of Asia. Hsiao Chien, representing China, and J. M. Tambimuttu, hailing from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), come together in the heart of London to broadcast on the Eastern Service for the British Broadcasting Corporation. The image captures their shared passion for literature and journalism as they engage in lively conversation while holding microphones close to their mouths. Both men exude warmth and laughter, reflecting their genuine camaraderie amidst challenging times. Hsiao Chien's presence symbolizes China's resilience during a period marked by conflict and uncertainty. As a poet with deep roots in Chinese culture, he brings his unique perspective to the airwaves, offering solace and inspiration to listeners across continents. Tambimuttu's contribution cannot be understated either; his Tamil heritage represents not only Ceylon but also showcases the rich diversity of Asian voices that found refuge in London during this era. This powerful meeting transcends borders as it unites individuals who share a common goal: using media platforms like radio to bridge cultures and promote understanding among nations torn apart by war. Preserved within an intriguing pamphlet titled "Calling All Nations" this print serves as a testament to the enduring power of communication even amidst global turmoil. It reminds us that despite our differences, we can find connection through artistry, storytelling, and mutual respect – ultimately fostering harmony among diverse peoples around the world.
