Promoting Healthy and Happy Living Through Stress Relief
On February 16, the “Hong Kong All Citizens’ Stress Relief Day” event
was held at Aberdeen Promenade in Southern District of Hong Kong Island.
Following a similar event held in Kowloon last August,
this was the second of its kind.
With a scenic outdoor venue surrounded by nature,
the atmosphere was particularly vibrant and uplifting.
Hong Kong is a global leader in fields such as economics and finance.
However, with intensifying competition, many citizens face mounting stress
and depression, making mental health a growing societal concern.
In response, the Hong Kong government has been organizing
various stress-relief events to promote mental well-being
and strengthen psychological resilience across society.
These efforts not only support cultural welfare but also contribute
positively to social stability and sustainable development.
Partnering with the Southern District Office, WeLoveU prepared the event
with hopes of helping citizens shake off stress and fatigue,
and experience a joyful, endorphin-boosting time.
The event featured a diverse array of activities, including orchestra and vocal
performances, craft booths for knitting and scented sachet-making, and a
lecture by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor on stress relief and healthy living.
A taekwondo demonstration by a Korean member also captivated the audience.
Around 700 participants applauded the performances
and enjoyed engaging in the various booth activities.

“I was worried it might be too cold outside, but the weather turned out to be perfect. I visited several booths and received many thoughtful gifts. From the colorful keychains to the solid air fresheners, everything was special. At the ear acupressure booth, the practitioner even took my pulse and gave me some health insights. This event is a wonderful opportunity for the public; it’s healthy, stress-relieving, and fun! I hope to join more WeLoveU activities in the future. Please invite me again.”

Additional “Stress Relief Day” events are planned
across various regions of Hong Kong.
Continued interest and support from the public are warmly welcomed.

under the WeLoveU School “Small Steps of Global Citizens” program
to promote a healthier school environment for students,
in celebration of International Day of Education (January 24).
During the session, students learned about the importance of hygiene

hygiene education to ensure that children can enjoy a healthy school life.
A clean environment and proper hygiene management are essential
to safeguarding the health and happiness of children worldwide.
Spreading Warmth Through Music
On January 19, the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation held a special concert at the main
auditorium of the Yuen Long District Community Services Building, Hong Kong.
Organized in collaboration with the Home Affairs Department,
the “Fountain of Emotion Concert” aimed to encourage and uplift citizens
through the power of music as they welcomed the New Year.
Good music not only brings joy,
it also promotes both physical and emotional well-being.

Approximately 330 attendees—including WeLoveU members and local
residents who came with family and friends—set aside their daily routines
and immersed themselves in the healing power of music.
The performance featured a diverse repertoire, ranging from bright,
energetic pieces to soft, soothing melodies. During quieter moments,
the audience listened in stillness; when familiar songs played, many sang along,
enjoying the concert in their own way. After each piece, the hall echoed
with applause, and smiles spread across the faces of all in attendance.
Brimming with emotional warmth and positive energy, the Fountain of Emotion
Concert delivered heartfelt encouragement to begin the New Year.
Government officials in attendance congratulated WeLoveU
on the successful performance and offered high praise.
