Our goal is to promote gender harmony and provide an important basis for corporate social responsibility as a strategy for sustainable peace and women’s rights.

Right before the recital, Ms. Zhao explained: “Throughout 5000-year history, love and harmony has always been an integral part of our Chinese culture. This poem is dedicated to those who are fighting against the COVID-19 around the world and it will inspire everyone to stay strong and in high spirits. “
