- Sino-Korea Life Insurance Sino-Korea Life Insurance Helps Autistic Children Through Art
In October of 2019, Sino-Korea Life Insurance helped organize “Road to Dunhuang: Art and the Sun,” an art-themed public service event in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China. The co-sponsored event brought world-renowned artists to Dunhuang to explore the convergence of art and public service in the city.
“Road to Dunhuang” was held to draw attention to autistic children and how they should be accepted and celebrated. As part of the event, Sino-Korea Life Insurance announced that it would raise awareness of this issue by freely distributing “Ten Thousand Suns,” a 2020 calendar created in collaboration with Lu Yifei, a well-regarded calligrapher and cultural scholar.
“Autistic children don’t just shine like stars,” said Chung-guen Song, COO of Sino-Korea Life Insurance, as he unveiled the 2020 calendar. “They give off heat like the sun to warm the hearts of those who work with them and help them.”
Celebrated traditional Korean artist Min Kyung Chan was invited to exhibit his work at the Chun Tian Museum of Art as part of the “Road to Dunhuang.” He also held an art salon to encourage discussion among the general public about how art contributes to public service.
Sino-Korea Life Insurance has supported intellectually disabled children for the past five years through various public service activities. As an artistic patron of these children, the company requests and purchases their artworks, which are then put into calendar-form to shine a light on their needs. It also organizes the annual “Tree to the Nth Power” tree-planting campaign that brings together the general public and intellectually disabled students from the Yang Ling Zi School to encourage interaction, promote understanding, and create a more harmonious social environment. - Hanwha Chemical (Ningbo) Hanwha Chemical (Ningbo) Volunteer Corps Cleans Up Jiufeng Mountain
