During our visit in Egypt, the beautiful country with ancient civilization, we bring our sincere friendship and would like to share with you the beauty and the essence of ancient Chinese culture with the philosophy of yin and yang. Culture is the crystallization of wisdom of our ancestors. In the 21st century, international cultural exchange is not only a trend but also an avenue to international cooperation and world peace. The Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy exhibits rich ancient cultural heritage in its modern art performances. Through these performances, we hope to shorten the distance between people's hearts, to spread our best wishes for heath, happiness, love and peace. Through ringing the Bell of Peace, we unite peace-loving people, heads of state and government and world leaders in respective circles from various countries to work for a peaceful and harmonious world by the force of love and caring. While ringing the Bell of Peace on September 2, 2002, H.E. Girma Wolde-Giorgis, President of Ethiopia said, "I wish that the world be a peaceful place to live in. Our children should never ever to fight each other. Differences should be managed by peaceful conflict resolution." It is a glorious mission and commitment. We look at every opportunity to meet people and share the genuine and wonderful culture originated from heart, hoping to inspire human beings to strive together for a better world. Lastly, I wish you success, good health and all the best. Thank you! |
