China has by one estimate one third of the world's smokers. About 20% of the population in Beijing are smokers and the effects of second hand smoke are evident everywhere. The damage to public health is great and the authorites are aware of the need to step up the campaign to reduce smoking. The campaign has come late and is just beginning. The cost of being a laggard in this critical area of public health is immense and not fully understood.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
