(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Hong Kong's literary and art circles sing "Under the Lion Rock" to pay tribute to medical care
China News Agency, Hong Kong, February 20 (Reporter Han Xingtong) The fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong is coming. With the care and support of the central government, the SAR government and all walks of life in Hong Kong are fighting the epidemic together.
Recently, people from Hong Kong's literary and art circles have also stepped forward to contribute to the fight against the epidemic, including donating a rapid test kit for the new coronavirus, rewriting the lyrics and singing "Under the Lion Rock" to pay tribute to medical staff, showing social responsibility.
A few days ago, the Hong Kong health information online platform "Healthy Dan" held a live broadcast of "7-hour anti-epidemic Q&A" for the whole people. During the program, singer Zheng Xiuwen called the host and said that when watching the program, he hoped that he could do his part and donate 5,000 yuan. A new coronavirus rapid test kit is provided to support the city's fight against the epidemic.
Earlier singers Xu Guanjie and Aaron Kwok have also donated new coronavirus rapid test kits through the platform to help vulnerable groups and solve their urgent needs.
Actor Louis Koo donated 3,000 sets of rapid test kits for the new coronavirus to charitable social welfare organizations in need through the "Gu Tianle Charity Fund", and has begun to accept inquiries and applications from various organizations.
The chairman of the Hong Kong Artists Association and famous painter Lin Tianxing appealed to members that the epidemic is severe and hoped that members should stay at home to fight the epidemic.
He said in the letter: "With the strong backing of the motherland, and an endless stream of experts and medical staff coming to rescue, I believe that the sunshine of spring will come soon."
TVB gathered about 70 singers and artists including Wang Mingquan, Hu Feng, Li Keqin, Kwong Meiyun, Miriam Yeung, and Lin Zixiang to participate in the recording of the anti-epidemic song "Under the Lion Rock, Together Against the Epidemic", which was adapted from the classic song "Under the Lion Rock" and filled in the lyrics again. We pay tribute to the medical staff in Hong Kong, appreciate their selfless spirit in fighting the epidemic and serving the public, and cheer them on for their hard work day and night to take care of patients.
"We are united under the Lion Rock to encourage each other and win this battle against the epidemic," they sang.
