Moreover, the 2024 Jimei × Arles International Photo Festival hosted an "experts meeting", inviting renowned artists, critics, and curators in the field of visual arts to engage in one-on-one discussions and portfolio reviews with emerging art creators. At the meeting, artist Du Shangheng was awarded the newly established Portfolio Review Award.

Yu Miao, a curator, researcher, and image creator, said that, "When Du Shangheng presented his portfolio to me, I saw three tranquil flowing rivers. Behind this tranquility lies endless clamor and echoes, which originate from the depths of history and resonate from within people's hearts."
