The second is thanking. Light of Life Society has been established for 24 years. Thanks to the support and helps of government and all circles of the community, society can go further.

The third is gratitude. I’d like to express my gratitude to members of Light of Life Society’s trusts to staff of Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital. FUDA will guard society members’ health as always.

On “Thanks for Your Company” award ceremony, all programs were performed by members of the society in person. Their wonderful performance won warm applauses from audiences. 

A performer of new members was diagnosed as nasopharyngeal cancer. Just after having chemotherapy, he made up his mind to go to the stage and perform Meeting in the Yurt. He loves singing, and his sonorous singing won applauses from all members. 

According to Aunt Zeng’s introduction, after learning that he has nasopharyngeal cancer, he often felt afraid and confused. Members of Light of Life Society of Cancer Rehabilitation talked to him actively and encouraged him to face up to cancer toughly with their own stories of fighting cancer. And they let him join the society and feel care and warm so that he could get the confidence of fighting cancer again.

Guangdong Provincial Light of Life Society of Cancer Rehabilitation Chairman Ms. Guo Lianyou expressed her vision of society’s development and said that the progress of Light of Life Society couldn’t be made without hard work and unselfish contribution of members. 

A lot of member who are having chemotherapy recently registered for this event actively when they heard about that Light of Life Society would hold it, which is moving.
