Humanitarian Aid:Non-governmental Fundraising Charity Performances in Beijing for Japanese Disaster Relief
On September 1,1923,a devastating earthquake known as the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Japan,causing significant casualties and property damage.Following China's aid efforts towards Japan,renowned artist Mei Lanfang quickly advocated for nationwide charity performances for the purpose of raising funds.Mei Lanfang's call received a positive response from people across Beijing,including Chinese opera artists and performers,academic colleagues,and amateur enthusiasts who initiated fundraising performances.The collected donations were then transferred to Japanese victims,international students in Japan,and overseas Chinese.As the saying goes,"Past experience,if not forgotten,is a guide for the future."When Japan suffered severe disasters,the Chinese people put aside their grievances and extended a helping hand.The Japanese people should remember this kindness.Peaceful exchanges between China and Japan serve the common interests of the two countries and are also the common pursuit of their peoples.
