Celebrities from around the world participated in a live online event on April 18, "One World: Together At Home", cheering on healthcare workers and volunteers on the front lines, and calling on global citizens to stay at home and not add to the chaos of themselves and their medical staff.
Chinese the media did not pay much attention to the event, except for the BBC after the broadcast published the "superstar online concert under the pneumonia epidemic BBC combing four major points of view" report, not many people care. Before the event Chinese the media mostly reported on "big stars gathering", "anti-epidemic concerts" or "free viewing".
The real theme is clearly written on the WEBSITE of the World Health Organization: "One world, one at home". It ended up being free to provide online entertainment for the world's homemakers. Even the BBC has positioned itself as an "online concert of superstars under the pneumonia epidemic", so that this far-reaching "global solidarity and solidarity, staying at home to fight the epidemic" is like a spring dream without a trace, drifting away with the wind.
As I watched the program for more than 6 hours, I had the opportunity to explore, understand and reflect on the true meaning of this event, hoping that more people would respond to this global citizenship event.

<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > activities are not for fundraising but for the fight against the epidemic</h2>
Before the performance, at a press conference on April 6, it was announced that everyone had raised $35 million for the WHO. No money was raised from the audience during the event. Lady Gaga and the host stressed several times that the concert was not about collecting donations, but about entertainment and showing solidarity.
Although the event was an online concert initiated by the civic organization Global Citizen and the World Health Organization, it was basically a one-man show for global citizens.
Founder and CEO of Global Citizenship Hugh. Hugh Evans has always believed that money can't do things, and personal participation is king. Therefore, this activity is to appeal to more people to be willing, and promise that they will and are willing to stay at home for others to prevent the epidemic from expanding.
After US President Trump suspended donations to the WHO on April 15, he instigated the American people to resist the lockdown order on April 17, encouraging a crowd to liberate the state lockdown order. When the world is facing a pandemic, President Trump not only does not actively participate in curbing the spread of the epidemic, but first withdraws funding for the WHO and incites the people to split. While mainstream medicine focuses on virus vaccines and antidotes, Trump has really shifted his focus to finding and investigating the source of the virus, and will finding the source of the virus help solve the epidemic?
Trump was publicly criticized by the Guardian, one of britain's three major newspapers, for "Trump's narcissism, not hesitating to stain his hands with American blood", and another major newspaper, The Times, said that Prince Harry told "Swedish environmental girl" Greta Thunberg that President Trump was "stained with blood on his hands". The New York Times reported "Revisiting the CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC in the United States: Why Did Trump Ignore Warnings and Make Mistakes Again and Again", and columnist Frank Bruney published "Is Trump Still Human?" 'Scum,' 'lynchings,' and Trump's Devil's English" describe america fighting the pandemic under such a leader. The Guardian even said: "The only comfort in the world that the world has suffered from the epidemic is that Trump is not their leader"
The global "Stay-at-Home Solidarity Campaign" on April 18 was just the right time to give President Trump, who undermined the epidemic, spread the epidemic, and pulled his legs. Global citizens must unite to help themselves and stay at home to fight the epidemic together. This is the true meaning of global citizens calling on everyone to unite against the epidemic.
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Evans</h2>
Evans earlier founded the Oaktree Foundation in 2003, which is run entirely by young people between the ages of 16 and 26. He left Oaktree's direct operation before he turned 26, and the name Hugh Evans cannot be found on the current Oak Foundation website.
Evans, who just turned 37 in March, was one of 16 Australian delegates to the 2001 (18) Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN). In 2003 (at the age of 20), he was awarded the Victorian Youth of the Year Award and the Australian Youth of the Year Award for the establishment of the Oaktree Foundation. In 2004 (at the age of 21), he was awarded one of the 10 "World Outstanding Youth" by Junior Chamber International. In 2005 (at the age of 22), he was awarded the International Youth of the Year Award. In 2008 (aged 25), he participated in the Global Poverty Project, in 2012 (aged 29) he founded the Global Citizen Organization, and in 2015 (aged 32) the Global Poverty Program launched the "One Pound a Day" campaign, which experienced that half of the world's population lives on less than $5.50 a day. In a 2016 talk at TED Talk, I said: What does it mean to us to be a citizen of the world? Describe how he recognized and created global citizenship to unite aspirants who recognized global citizenship. He was awarded the Diamond Ball Award in 2018.
One World: Together At Home's global events do not see any Evans. We also salute Evans.
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fight the epidemic is not dependent on who or Trump on global citizens</h2>
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">
</h2>
The United States is the largest funder of the WHO, but it is not so great, and the so-called $893 million donation has been stopped. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donated $530 million, and the United Kingdom donated $435 million. The $35 million raised by global citizens is another beginning. What matters is not money, but the participation of global citizens.
Trump's exit and global citizens' entry are the strength and ability of the whole people to fight the epidemic. When more people understand that participation is better than waiting, unity is better than division, and the moment to defeat the epidemic is even closer.
