China and Hungary celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year. "Liberty and Love" is a poem written by renowned 19th-century Hungarian poet Sandor Petofi. It was popularized in China by Lu Xun, a writer, literary critic and leading figure in modern Chinese literature. The statue in Shanghai's Lu Xun Park was donated by the Hungarian government in 2007 to celebrate the country's long-lasting friendship with China. 

Hungarian-Slovak architect Laszlo Hudec is another European name known to Shanghai residents. He lived in the city for around three decades from 1918 and designed more than 60 buildings here. Many of them are still standing. In this episode of Ties That Bind, CGTN reporter Cen Ziyuan explores the cultural contributions of a famous Hungarian architect and a poet in Shanghai.
