On the 5th, good news came from Beijing: Taiwan’s “Bike Angels” will set off on a cycling journey from Beijing to Xiamen in mid-July, with the launch ceremony to be held at the Bird’s Nest. In addition, Hai Xia TV will provide full coverage of the Bike Angels’ journey.
The Bird’s Nest Opens Its Doors to Welcome Guests
“What is Beijing like? How big is the Olympic Village? How beautiful is the Bird’s Nest...” Two years ago, a 6-year-old Taiwanese orphan sitting in front of the TV was filled with longing for the Olympic Village on the screen.
On June 8, after the report “40 Taiwanese Kids to Cycle 3,000 Kilometers Across the Mainland,” good news kept pouring in, with waves of goodwill emerging across the country: the national mountain bike champion joined the accompanying cycling team; students from Zhejiang University and Tsinghua University will accompany the ride throughout; local Taiwanese businesspeople and entrepreneurs have contributed money and effort to help the children realize their dreams; various cycling clubs have spontaneously organized relay support to ensure the children’s safety along the way...
On the 5th, more good news arrived: the National Stadium Company Limited decided to open the Bird’s Nest stadium to host a departure ceremony for the children. In addition, the kids will also visit and tour the Bird’s Nest, fulfilling their “Bird’s Nest dream.”
Fubon Insurance Joins the Wave of Goodwill
Recently, in order to address the children’s accommodation and meals along the way, the organizers and volunteers have been running around and trying every possible means. In addition, to ensure the children’s safety, the organizers have not only trained accompanying volunteer cyclists but also negotiated with Taiwan’s Fubon Insurance to provide accidental insurance for the children.
Last month, after the report “40 Taiwanese Kids to Cycle 3,000 Kilometers Across the Mainland” was published, Ms. Wang Liqiu from Fubon Insurance immediately contacted the reporter, and when the organizer representative Yang Minzhong visited Xiamen, the two sides preliminarily exchanged information. In the end, Fubon Insurance decided to provide each child and volunteer with an accidental insurance policy, adding an extra layer of safety for the event.
It is reported that Fubon Insurance has long been committed to assisting disadvantaged groups in Taiwan. Its participation in this cross-strait wave of goodwill also reflects the sense of social responsibility and care for the vulnerable demonstrated by the people at Fubon.
