"Combining traditional intangible cultural heritage crafts with modern pop culture toys breathes new life into ancestral techniques," Yan said. "The fusion of traditional craftsmanship's depth with the trendiness of pop culture toys has exceeded expectations, showcasing the diverse possibilities of traditional skills to a broader audience."

The exhibition also features the Molly Art Workshop, where participants can engage in immersive experiences such as hand-painting exclusive leather pendants.

Currently, Pop Mart operates more than 50 offline stores in Shanghai, with two flagship stores on Nanjing Road attracting global tourists and becoming urban cultural experience landmarks.

"Never did I expect 20 years to pass so quickly," Wong said. "Over these 20 years, this stubborn and persistent Molly has unknowingly brought a lot of joy to people, given new definitions and meanings to the world, accompanied and healed people's hearts, and helped many children in need."
