Acclaimed Chinese writer Xuemo has begun a Latin American lecture tour, starting at the Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola (USIL) in Peru, where he will deliver a keynote address titled "Wisdom and Transcendence in the Age of AI." The event, held at the Auditorio Luis Bedoya on November 10, marks the first anniversary of the Peruvian Chinese Language Institute. Distinguished attendees include USIL President Dr. Jorge Talavera, Dean of Humanities Dr. Justo Balmaceda, and Director of the Language Research Center Dr. Rocío Baldárrago.
Xuemo, recipient of the 2025 New York City Big Book Award and the 2025 International Book Awards, is one of China's most celebrated contemporary authors. His works, translated into more than 30 languages, explore consciousness, compassion, and the human quest for meaning. The tour continues in Argentina at the Universidad Nacional de José C. Paz (UNPAZ), where Xuemo will join Professor Xintang Sun for a lecture titled "Wisdom Beyond the Age of AI." Hosted by UNPAZ President Dr. Darío Kusinsky, the session is part of UNPAZ's "International Week of Science, Art, and Knowledge Production" and will be livestreamed on the university's official YouTube channel.
On November 13, Xuemo returns to USIL to present his new Spanish-language book "The World Is a Reflection of the Mind," published by the Latin American Publishing Group. His journey then moves to Chile, with a lecture at the University of Magallanes on November 18, an appearance at the Santiago International Book Fair on November 22, and a literary dialogue at GAM Bookstore in Santiago on November 24. The tour culminates at El Colegio de México on November 28, followed by participation in the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL Guadalajara) on December 4–5.
Earlier this month, Xuemo appeared on France's MANDARIN TV program "Dialogue in Paris," discussing the enduring resonance of Silk Road civilization. He emphasized that as artificial intelligence reshapes human life, humanity must cultivate a new kind of wisdom to accompany technological advancement. "In an age of turmoil, anxiety, and uncertainty," Xuemo said, "each of us must illuminate our own heart with love and wisdom. When every individual lights up their inner world, the whole world will shine. Humanity can rekindle the inner lamp of love and wisdom to rediscover confidence and harmony at its core."
