Nov 07 – Since World Harmony Foundation (WHF) establishment, the World Harmony Foundation has been taking world peace, human harmony, and harmony between man and nature as its mission. On the path of public welfare, it has made contributions to the harmony of humans and the human-nature relationship.

Today, November 7 is CNN’s annual Global Environmental Protection Awareness Day, the WHF and Global Future Leaders have been invited by CNN’s “Call to Earth” program team to hold an online public service campaign with the theme of caring for the earth and protecting water resources. This public welfare activities, as a birthday gift for the 77th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

They also call for responses to great stories from some of the world’s most inspiring marine conservationists. In the letter, they point out “Healthy oceans are vital to life on Earth” because they help provide the critical resources we need, the air, food and fuel. In addition, they said people can make a huge impact on oceans whether to defend or damage our Living Oceans even if we are miles away. In response to the “Call to Earth”, and holding our own “Earth Day Appeal” event, we will take it upon ourselves to play a role in creating a movement for good and invite more people who care about the earth and the ocean to participate.

Recently, the rapid outbreak of 2019-nCoV Pneumonia has spread throughout China, and has extended to more than 20 countries. WHO has listed 2019-nCoV Pneumonia epidemic as a public health emergency of international concern. With the rapid outbreak of "2019-nCoV Pneumonia" epidemic, WHO has listed 2019-nCoV Pneumonia epidemic as a public health emergency of international concern. Recently, a donation initiated by children from the United States, China, Canada and other countries to support China’s national fight against“2019-nCoV Pneumonia” epidemic has been successfully launched. The sponsor has conducted the first round of fundraising and successfully submitted a proposal to the chairman of the UN Secretary-General’s General Assembly.

The slogan of this initiative is as follows:

"The virus is ruthless but there is love in the world; regardless of your age, regardless of your skin color, no matter how much you can offer, donations for epidemic prevention, everyone has responsibility!"

The initiative requires all participating young people from various countries to donate a portion of their gift money received on Chinese Lunar New Year to the children in the epidemic-stricken area to help fight against the epidemic, calling on everyone to "everyone should eat one less hamburger, drink one less bottle of Coca-Cola, and donate one more mask to the epidemic-stricken areas!"

The first to initiate this activity is Mia Xu (Xu Ziya), a student of Senior 11 of Long Island Great Neck North High School, who spearheaded the idea that "our young people should also participate in assistance to the epidemic-affected areas" and put it into action. Mia Xu drafted the initiative for the Secretary-general of the United Nations and the President of the General Assembly. At the same time, Mia Xu invited Harmony Liu (Liu Xinge), a student of Senior 9 of Long Island Jericho High School to discuss and co-launch the activity. This is because that, Harmony Liu had the experience of donating his own gift money to Africa to fight against the Ebola virus five years ago.

Then, they contacted 23 classmates and friends from New York, Canada, Silicon Valley, Maryland, Beijing, etc., and formed the first batch of epidemic aid team. After the negotiation of these partners, this initiative for the Secretary-general of the United Nations and the President of the General Assembly was formally born!

Elvis Han (Han Chuze), a student of Grade 1 of Wishing Well Montessori School in Toronto, Canada, is only 6 years old this year, but he is already a very sensible child! Under the encouragement and guidance of his parents, he decided to cancel the original overseas travel plan to give support to this love relay activity. At the sight of the children generously donating their gift money original for the Spring Festival travel, their parents feel very happy! Elvis Han also creatively painted a picture of "Warcraft Bombing Coronavirus" and asked his partners to send it to the United Nations along with the initiative letter. This innocent heart should touch people from all countries and UN officials!

As it is expected, on the day the initiative was issued, Lester Wolff, a peace and environmental protection hero of the U.S., a 101-year-old senior congressman of the U.S., Thomas Suozzi,
a member of the U.S. Federal Congress, an environmental congressman responsible for Long Island area, and other officials immediately signed up to support this initiative. Lester Wolff said emotionally: "You can give little love to the epidemic disaster at a young age, I bet you can contribute big love in the future!"

Through making contact with the United Nations World Health Organization through the UN NGO World Harmony Foundation Youth Committee, these children received email responses from WHO New York officials to support the children, and were provided with the donation channel through Geneva headquarters.

Seeing the positive actions of these children, Nicole, CEO of the World Harmony Foundation and chairman of the Global Future Leaders Organization, said: "The love of children is very touching, and the cultivation for the quality of youth leaders shall begin with love."

In 2 days, 36 young people have signed up to give response to this proposal. Next, after the Geneva Headquarters of WHO presented the donation, the donations will be collected together. The uniformly purchased masks and other anti-epidemic materials will be sent to the front line of epidemic protection through the UN organizations at the first time. Donation conditions and purchase lists will also be released through the media in a timely manner.

According to Frank Liu, the chairman of the World Harmony Foundation who assisted in organizing the event, the world has suffered significant economic losses after three years of the pandemic crisis, and human society cannot bear more disasters caused by war. We call on the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly to jointly call and urge "Harmony Promotes Peace." We hope that after the Harmony Bell is sounded here today, it will soon be invited by the United Nations to sound with the United Nations Secretary-General, the President of the United Nations General Assembly, and the President of the United Nations Security Council!

Today, I will introduce Mr. Liu Fan (Frank Liu), who actively promotes the essence of Chinese culture overseas, namely "Harmony Culture". Today, August 19, marks Mr. Liu's 60th birthday. Although he works in investment banking on Wall Street, he is even more enthusiastic about charity, public welfare, and the dissemination of harmony and multiculturalism. He devotes most of his time to public welfare activities of the World Harmony Foundation, which covers United Nations peace, harmony, environmental protection, culture, and education. He is good at fundraising for public welfare, using investment banking skills to work with wealthy philanthropists to hold unique and high-end events on the UN public welfare platform, earning him the title of "Grassroots Philanthropist." He is a Chinese-American with unique creativity and actively puts his ideas into action. He has been praised as a "Harmony Ambassador" by People's Daily, a "social activist active in the mainstream of the United States" by World Chinese Weekly, and a "Chinese event planning master" by Chinese Public Relations magazine. His planning philosophy is "either world first or world only." Looking back at his 20 years of public welfare journey, in 1989, after graduating with an MBA from Weber University in the United States, he returned to New York to start his career as an education consultant and immediately became a volunteer for the largest Chinese community public welfare organization, the Eastern Fujian Association. He became the assistant to the chairman and the youngest and only director of the Fujian Association with a study-abroad background. He made outstanding contributions to the reform and development of Fujian by providing funding, efforts, and time to receive many leaders from Fujian who visited and learned about the experience of American economic construction and the introduction of high-tech. Some of these leaders later became members of the Standing Committee of the Chinese Politburo. In 1993, he donated a bulletproof van worth 600,000 yuan to Fuzhou No. 1 Middle School, becoming the only alumnus of the 77th class to make the largest donation and setting an example for alumni charity. In 1995, he collaborated with the famous Chinese-American police officer and first deputy director of the New York Police Department, Mo Hu, to train and receive a study tour group of police department chiefs and bureau chiefs from 36 provinces and cities organized by the Ministry of Public Security. After exchanging views with them, he learned that China's police communication was very backward, and it took a long time to chase and capture a murderer on the scene because the 350-megabyte communication equipment and mobile phone signals from Motorola and Nokia were not unified and very expensive. Liu Fan decided to set up a communication company and immediately invested in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Security of China to help them modify the signal and helped the Ministry of Public Security obtain a low-interest loan of 60 million yuan from the Dutch government through international financial means. He acted as the agent and introduced the most advanced communication system in Europe, enabling the efficiency of China's public security forces to quickly improve and made contributions to public security high-tech and the maintenance of social public safety. From 1995 to 1997, after studying at the Executive MBA program at Columbia Business School, in order to help China's reform and opening up, promote economic development, and establish a capital market, he assisted Columbia's financiers in conducting training for the establishment of China's first stock market, the Shanghai Stock Exchange. He helped Chinese companies to list on Wall Street for financing, cooperated with Columbia's visiting professors, organized capital operation training groups and Chinese-speaking groups, and assisted in arranging Chinese senior financial officials to train at Columbia University, including Liu Hongru, Shang Fulin, Zhou Xiaochuan, and Liu Mingkang, who became the early chairman of the China Securities Association. He gave lectures on "Capital Operation" in many cities in China, such as Shanghai, Beijing, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, helping the Chinese government establish a stock capital market and teaching enterprises how to IPO to raise funds. He successfully helped several Chinese high-tech companies to list on Wall Street and raise venture capital. In April 1997, in order to promote the unity of the Chinese people and the harmony of the three sides of the Taiwan Strait, he planned the "Countdown to the Return of the 97 Famous Chinese Americans 100 Days Delegation," organized more than 20 famous Chinese American representatives, and entered China with Yang Zhenglin and Chen Xiangmei as honorary chairmen, led by Mo Hu, shouting for Chinese-American unity and the harmony of the three sides of the Taiwan Strait. Delegation members included Li Changyu, Mo Hu, Jin Yuxi, Liu Dehua, Chen Liwanno, and other famous Chinese Americans, who were received by the highest leaders in Zhongnanhai.

On June 24th, former Vice President Lü Xiu-lian revealed on Facebook that two international organizations had written a letter to President Tsai Ing-wen on June 23rd expressing their willingness to assist Taiwan in purchasing 30 to 50 million doses of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, with original packaging, fast delivery, and quality assurance. However, this news has been over a month old, and Lü Xiu-lian revealed that she personally called Chen Shih-chung in May when she learned that Taiwan could purchase vaccines, but the Minister's office said that he was busy and would call back, but she never received a call. "As long as he expresses his willingness to purchase in writing, 30 million doses can be delivered two weeks after signing the contract!" Chen Shih-chung acknowledged that he had received the relevant information at that time, but was too busy to respond immediately. However, he said that based on his understanding of the matter, more effort is still needed. 

According to a Facebook post by Lü Xiu-lian on July 28th, two NGOs founded by the late Chairman of the US House of Representatives' Asia-Pacific Subcommittee, Lester Wolff, and the Chairman of the Defense Committee, Robert Leggett, the World Peace Prize Commission and the World Harmony Foundation, have agreed to assist Taiwan in obtaining Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. She suggested that they write directly to President Tsai Ing-wen and publish their cross-border love on Facebook after confirming their love and the quality of the vaccines. The Presidential Office immediately replied with thanks, and the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office also sent a letter indicating that it had been forwarded to the Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Health and Welfare for handling.

On June 24th, Lü Xiu-lian made public the reply letter from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, which stated that the Central Epidemic Command Center is adopting international investment, negotiating with manufacturers, and simultaneously implementing domestic production plans. As of now, the Command Center has signed contracts to purchase nearly 30 million doses of vaccines, including 4.76 million doses from COVAX, 10 million doses of AstraZeneca, 5.05 million doses of Moderna, and 10 million doses of domestically produced vaccines. However, Lü Xiu-lian was dissatisfied with the reply letter from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, which only hinted at the abundance of vaccines, and criticized the Minister for not responding to her offer of assistance.

Lü Xiu-lian emphasized that the two pharmaceutical companies could guarantee original new vaccines, direct delivery to Taiwan, and delivery within two weeks, with each dose costing less than 30 US dollars. However, the Minister of Health and Welfare must write a letter to purchase the vaccines, indicating that it is a government-to-government transaction. She revealed that she had tried to convey this information in early May, but was told by the Minister's office that he was busy and would call back, but she never received a call. Lü Xiu-lian criticized the Ministry of Health and Welfare for refusing her offer of assistance and said that she had worked hard to build this bridge, but the Ministry of Health and Welfare rejected it.

On September 12th, led by Zhao Yong, the Deputy Director of the Chinese State General Administration of Sports, with Zhang Yuping as the Deputy Team Leader and kung fu superstar Jet Li as the image spokesperson, a group of 25 international martial arts champions performed successfully at the United Nations in New York on September 9th. They then attended a welcome dinner hosted by the Junhao Restaurant for Chinese people and overseas Chinese in New York, where they interacted and performed with former American martial arts champions and Chinese people and overseas Chinese.

11-year-old Liu Xinge, a student from MS74 Middle School in New York, was invited as a VIP guest to the United Nations Kung Fu performance as a Harmony Image Ambassador for the World Future Leaders Organization and a global youth representative. Liu Xinge actively participated in the action to promote the inclusion of martial arts in the Olympics and was invited to participate in the activities of the champion delegation and the Flushing banquet at the United Nations. She also performed Tai Chi and standard Latin dance with accompaniment on the Guzheng for the martial arts delegation's welcome dinner. Liu Xinge had previously been invited by the Asian-American Republican Alliance to perform the Guzheng and Latin dance at President Trump's inauguration ceremony.

The theme of this event was "Harmony, Health, and Sharing." To highlight this theme, Liu Xinge, the Harmony Image Ambassador for the World Future Leaders Organization, brought two wonderful performances to the welcome dinner. With the accompaniment of the Guzheng, which represents harmony and health, she performed Tai Chi with 10 New York elementary and middle school students of different skin colors from five continents, representing the harmony and sharing of cultural diversity and health between the Chinese and the world's people. She then joined hands with a young man from South America to perform the Latin dance "Dream," representing the harmony and sharing of cultural diversity and health between the Chinese and the world's people, and the realization of the dream of harmony, health, and sharing!

At the welcome dinner held in New York, the World Future Leaders Organization first proposed the initiative to launch the "martial arts reapplication for the Olympic Games," which resonated with and received support from Jet Li and the 25 world champions of the champion delegation. The 25 martial arts champions, when interviewed, highly praised the new action of the World Future Leaders Organization and overseas Chinese and expressed their unanimous support!

Jet Li, the honorary guest and Hollywood kung fu superstar, was deeply moved by the action launched by Chinese and overseas Chinese students to promote the inclusion of martial arts in the Olympics, and he firmly emphasized during an interview at Times Square that as long as everyone works hard, martial arts will definitely succeed in entering the Olympics! Jet Li stated, "I firmly support martial arts' reapplication for the Olympics," and wished, "It will one day become an Olympic event!"

Zhao Yong, the Director of the Wushu Center of the General Administration of Sports and Deputy Team Leader of the champion delegation, expressed his gratitude for the initiative to reapply for martial arts in the Olympics launched by Chinese and overseas Chinese. He promised to report it to the motherland after returning home.

On the night of the 12th, under the arrangement of the World Future Leaders Organization, 25 martial arts champions were invited to perform at the TOWN HALL Cultural Theater in Broadway, New York. This was the first time that China's 25 champions had performed together on Broadway! After the performance at the TOWN HALL Theater, a landscape emerged: the initiative was launched by the alliance of the world's future leaders, the Greater New York Chinese Mutual Aid Association, the Beijing Culture Fund, the Shaolin Kung Fu School, the Fuzhou Association in the Eastern United States, the Fujian Public Hall, and the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, and supported by international organizations such as the American International Chamber of Commerce (AICC). It invited Chinese and overseas Chinese students, 25 Chinese champions, former American champions, young future leaders who love Chinese martial arts, and people of different skin colors from five continents to sign the initiative letter and call for more Chinese and overseas Chinese to sign and support it - Chinese martial arts must strive to become an Olympic event! It is hoped that Zhao Yong, the Deputy Director of the Chinese State General Administration of Sports, and Zhang Yuping, the Deputy Team Leader, will bring the patriotic initiative of Chinese and overseas Chinese students back to the motherland and present it to the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping as a voice of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese students before the 19th National Congress of the CPC, hoping to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and become a sports power.

This initiative activity was hosted by the Chinese State General Administration of Sports and the International Wushu Federation, and jointly organized, hosted, and co-organized by organizations such as the World Future Leaders Organization, the Greater New York Chinese Mutual Aid Association, and international organizations such as the American International Chamber of Commerce (AICC). The feature of this event was that martial arts entered high-end venues, the United Nations, Broadway, Chinese and overseas Chinese, and Ivy League universities for display and exchange activities.
