KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 (Bernama) -- For thousands of years, the Great Wall has guarded the Chinese territory and the homeland of the Chinese people.
On Sept 3, in a rolling, lush alpine grassland, a string of moving poems composed by little poets living in the mountainous areas made a magnificent “Great Wall of Poetry”, helping to protect the spiritual homeland of these children as well as the common spiritual world for everyone.
This is a special public welfare programme called “The Great Wall of Poetry -- Let the Undiscovered Literary Talents of Children in the Mountainous areas Shine” launched by this year's Poetry POS campaign launched by China UnionPay, the country's top bank card organisation.
Via livestreaming, the programme seeks to display the talents of children in the mountainous areas to the world, according to a statement.
Two representatives of the little poets came to the event site and recited their poems in a grassland surrounded by mountains in Zherong County, Ningde City of southeast China's Fujian Province. Their voices echoed in the mountains, leaving the poetic feel flow along the “Great Wall of Poetry”.
It is worth mentioning that the warm-up of this event has also attracted the attention and support of many famous people at home and abroad, as they read the children's poems earnestly in recognition and support of this special public welfare programme.
At the event, people got a POS receipt printed with poems by donating one yuan at the UnionPay Poetry POS, and all proceeds will be donated to the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation.
China UnionPay Poetry POS campaign was officially launched in July 2019. Over the past four years, the donations raised have been used in Anhui, Henan, Sichuan, Xinjiang, Yunnan and other regions, helping nearly 5,000 children enjoy artistic literacy lessons.
