“相知无远近，万里尚为邻”。430年前，利玛窦以耶稣会传教士身份从意大利罗马来到中国。利玛窦将他掌握的科学文化知识引入中国，并以系统深入的方式将中国的情况介绍给西方，开辟了中西文化交流新天地。"True friends always feel close to each other, no matter the distance between them". 430 years ago, Matteo Ricci arrived in China as a Jesuit missionary from Rome, Italy. Ricci introduced the Western scientific and cultural knowledge he had acquired to China and systematically and profoundly conveyed China's realities to the West, breaking new ground in cultural exchange between China and the West.最关键的是，利玛窦主张的文化适应策略影响了西方一代又一代知识分子，让他们看到了东西方文化的巨大差异，并能够本着谦逊、欣赏和务实的态度，学习中国的语言和文化，在此基础上开展交流与合作，其思想应更具现代性，更能启发和帮助后人。
Crucially, Ricci's cultural accommodation strategy influenced generations of Western intellectuals and scholars, making them aware of the vast differences between Eastern and Western cultures. This approach encourages humility, appreciation, and pragmatism in learning China's language and culture, fostering exchanges and cooperation grounded in mutual understanding. His ideas remain relevant today and continue to inspire future generations.今年是中意建交55周年，时光之门再度开启，2025年的南昌万寿宫，编剧黄一川，遇到了正在穿越的利玛窦（法迪博士），他们演绎了一场中西文化交流传奇。2025 marks the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Italy.
