The China 8.0-magnitude quake has claimed approximately 50,000 lives and countless injured and homeless. We are totally saddened, wordless to express my condolence to the lost and injured, many of whom were children, sitting in the classroom when the quake suddenly took them all away, with only schoolbags and endless sorrows left to their loved mother, father and friends.

Nearly the whole of our home country are donating whatever they can to help the traumatized people in Sichuan. Money and materials are needed by the devastated people to survive from the debris, to cure the wounds and to rebuild the homes. Food, water, a tent and some duvet may cost 10 quids to you but they mean a life saved with your generous support.

The normal Chinese people don't usually ask for help as we always think we need to contain our own difficulties without hassling others, unless absolutely necessary. But the ongoing earthquake is indeed a crisis for all living in that area and we would be really grateful if you can make some donations to the people needed the most. I will give my sincere gratitude to you, on behalf of the ethnic Qiang, Tibetan and Han Chinese people who are suffering the pains in the area.

Organised by China Earthquake Appeal Committee UK, Co-hosted by several below organizations, this charity performance event has received much support. We hope can also received love & care from you! This Performance is for charity purpose, and all the ticket sales will send to China Sichuan via Chinese Embassy in U.K.
