TV Host LI Kun was specially invited as a representative of the audience to join in on the evening.



After the concert, LIU Lifei, the leader of Beijing medical team aiding Hubei, said: “While in Wuhan, all the medical staff were inspiring themselves with music. The music pieces we appreciated today exhibited the mood and spirit we were in when fighting in Wuhan.” XIANG Haiping, Vice President of Beijing You’an Hospital, commented: “Today’s music gave us power and fully presented our longing for a beautiful life. I hope to take off our masks as soon as possible to enjoy live concerts.” Deng Qiumin, Deputy Director of Baimiao police station, Tongzhou branch of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, said: “The beautiful music lifted our spirit and encouraged us a lot, enabling us to carry out the following epidemic prevention and control work energetically.” Upon hearing long overdue applause, LÜ Jia said: “ Today, I was genuinely moved by the long-waited applause coming from the frontline medical staff. I could sense their energy and power even I was not facing them.”
