Schwarzenegger to become the face of China's Bronze Age Sanxingdui sit
Former governor of California and action-movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger will become the spokesperson for Southwest China's Sanxingdui site, a Bronze Age archeological site in Sichuan Province, in order to help promote it overseas, the Sanxingdui Museum announced on Monday.
The 69-year-old U.S. star visited the museum on Monday and expressed his excitement at accepting the offer.
According to a report from new site people.cn, during his visit the actor said he was impressed by the Sanxingdui site and wanted to share this feeling with the world.
"Our decision to invite Mr Schwarzenegger to be the global spokesperson for the site is in line with the guidelines outlined in The Declaration of Supreme Harmony that say we should 'use Hollywood's film language to connect Sanxingdui culture with the world in order to better protect World Cultural Heritage sites," Zhu Jiake, the curator of the museum said in a statement, referring to the guidelines released during the 2016 Global Ancient Civilization Protection Forum in Beijing last week.
