Those recognized for their efforts came from the worlds of business, culture, sport and everywhere in between. Karl-Heinz Gass has a 43-year association with China. He strove to build economic and artistic ties between the two countries. Some of his Chinese collections from his travels were donated to the consulate to display five years ago. Gass told CGTN that his whole connection with China began because of a chance encounter with a Chinese official. "It was a coincidence in Switzerland, and it started something because I ended up taking over 300 flights to Beijing, and I was there for at least three years. I went to China because when I went there, I got through to the people, and they had respect for me. And I told them the truth about everything," he said.
