In early winter, the Chengdu Finland 

Week was made especially warm with 

the arrival of Moomin. On November 

23, a themed sharing session on "The 

Story of Moomin" took place at the 

Kids Winshare Plus, hosted by the 

Foreign Affairs Office of Chengdu 

Municipal People's Government and 

the Embassy of Finland, Beijing, and 

co-organized by the Foreign Affairs 

Office of Wenjiang District People's 

Government. Nearly a hundred people 

in Chengdu, including children and their 

parents, spent a joyful Saturday with 

Moomin.

初冬时节，“成都·芬兰周”因为姆明小精灵的到来而分外温暖。11月23日，由成都市人民政府外事办公室、芬兰驻华大使馆主办，温江区人民政府外事办公室协办，“姆明的故事”主题分享会在文轩亲子书店成功举办，近百位成都的大小朋友们与姆明一起度过了快乐周六。

Moomin, a classic fairy-tale character 

from Finland, was created by Tove 

Jansson in the 1940s. It resembles a 

hippopotamus, but it is actually a troll. 

The Moomin family lives in their house 

in Moominvalley surrounded by 

mountains. Over the past 70 years, 

Moomin has won the love and support 

of fans worldwide with its cute and 

innocent image, adventurous and love-

filled stories, as well as rich cultural 

connotations and meanings. Moomin is 

not just a cartoon image or a fairy-tale 

character; it is a good companion for 

children as they grow up and a 

messenger of love and beauty.

姆明（Moomin）是芬兰的经典童话角色，由托芙·扬松创作于上世纪40年代。它并非河马，而是一个精灵，居住在群山环抱的“姆明谷”。面世70余年，姆明以其可爱而天真的形象、充满爱与冒险的故事以及丰富的文化内涵和寓意，赢得了全球各地粉丝的喜爱和支持。它不仅是一个卡通形象或童话角色，更是陪伴孩子们成长的好伙伴和传递爱与美好的使者。

At the activity, Yang Jianfeng, General 

Manager of the Southwest Office of the 

Hong Kong-based PPW Group, 

introduced in detail the background of 

the classic Moomin IP and its strong 

influence that transcends time and space 

as a special guest. The Moomin IP has 

been adapted into numerous animated 

films and derivatives, the most iconic 

of which is the animated film 

Moominvalley. Through vivid visuals 

and heartwarming storylines, this 

animated film portrays the everyday life 

and adventures of the Moomin family 

and their friends in Moominvalley. It 

has garnered widespread acclaim and 

affection worldwide, becoming a 

timeless classic cherished by audiences 

of all ages. The Moomin series also 

shares a unique connection with 

Chengdu. In 2023, Moominvalley 

Season 3 was awarded the Best 

Animated Image in the Animation 

Category at the First Golden Panda 

Awards.

活动现场，香港PPW集团西南事务所总经理杨剑峰作为特邀嘉宾，详细介绍了姆明这一经典IP的诞生背景及其跨越时空的强大影响力。姆明被改编成了多部动画片和衍生品，其中最经典的莫过于动画片《姆明山谷》——通过生动的画面和温馨的故事情节，这部动画片展现了姆明一家和朋友在姆明谷的生活和冒险，在全球范围内受到了广泛的欢迎和喜爱，成为许多大小朋友心中的经典之作。姆明与成都也有着特别的缘分——2023年，《姆明山谷》第三季荣获首届金熊猫奖动画片单元最佳动画形象奖。

Shi Hua, the translator of Moomin: The 

Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip, 

shared her insights and behind-the-

scenes stories in translating Moomin 

comic strips with the theme of "I only 

want to live in peace and plant potatoes 

and dream (Tove Jansson)". Under her 

guidance, children and parents read the 

wonderful chapters from Moomin and 

the Martians. By exploring the 

enchanting journey sparked by the 

Moomin family's unexpected encounter 

with Martians, they experienced these 

elves' friendship, courage, and 

adventurous spirit of exploring the 

unknown. To leave the children with 

cherished memories, Shi Hua also 

personally created Moomin-themed 

hand-drawn cards as gifts.

《姆明漫画全集》译者十画以“种点土豆，做几个美梦”为主题分享了她在翻译姆明漫画中的点滴感悟与幕后故事。在十画老师的带领下，小朋友们和家长一起阅读了《姆明和火星人》的精彩篇章；通过姆明一家与火星人意外相遇而展开的一段奇妙旅程，感受精灵们的友谊、勇气以及探索未知的冒险精神。十画老师还亲手绘制了姆明的手卡作为礼物，为孩子们留下美好纪念。

This activity stands as a wonderful 

testament to the cultural exchange 

between Chengdu and Finland. Moomin's 

adventurous stories not only inspire 

curiosity in children, but also rekindle 

a sense of childlike wonder in adults. 

With Moomin as our companion, let us 

courageously pursue our dreams and 

share love and beauty. May Moomin's 

stories serve as a bridge connecting the 

cultures of Chengdu and Finland, 

bringing about many more beautiful 

encounters!

本次活动是成都与芬兰文化交流的一次美好见证。姆明的冒险故事启迪着孩子们的好奇心，也唤醒了大人们心中的童真。让我们在姆明的陪伴下，勇敢地追求梦想，传递爱与美好。愿姆明的故事成为连接蓉芬文化的桥梁，迎来更多美好相遇！
