"National Treasure Cow Head" is now Datong
"Hand in Hand" Love Relay
One of the biggest highlights of the night of the closing ceremony was the appearance of the oxen head of the twelve animal heads in Haiyan Hall of Yuanmingyuan in Datong. This year is the Year of the Ox, and this oxen head was carefully cared for by the national treasure escort team all the way from Beijing to Datong and appeared directly at the closing ceremony. This is the first time the oxen head has been sent to Datong for display, and the audience at the scene also got a rare opportunity to face the national treasure and witness a piece of history with their own eyes.
The filmmaker Jackie Chan, who made a movie about animal heads many years ago, also invited skilled craftsmen to replicate 12 sets of animal heads and send them to museums around the world. Seeing one of the real animal heads this time, as a filmmaker and a public welfare person who cares about overseas cultural relics, Jackie Chan lamented that only by standing in front of the lost and recovered national treasures can he truly feel the sense of national pride. He also expressed the hope that through his films, he can appeal to more people to care about overseas cultural relics and let more national treasures come home.
Whether it is to speak out for the protection of national treasures and cultural relics, or to participate in various public welfare undertakings, Jackie Chan and many filmmakers have practiced their social responsibility and responsibility. The "We Join Hands Together" public welfare live broadcast activity jointly launched by Movie Channel, Datong Municipal People’s Government and Taobao Live was launched on the 15th and 16th, starting from Datong and facing Shanxi Province. Whether it is "Datong Good Grain" agricultural products, or caring products from Jinzhong, Lvliang, Yuncheng, Changzhi and other areas in Shanxi that have recently suffered floods, they all gather in the live broadcast room, which can connect every public welfare force that cares about Shanxi through the cloud platform.
Jackie Chan has also endorsed the public welfare of Datong’s characteristic yellow flower industry since 2018, making small yellow flower a big industry that leads Datong people to poverty reduction and wealth. In two years, the output value target of Datong’s yellow flower industry chain will exceed 5 billion yuan, which is 7 times that of 2018. Jackie Chan said: "I have all kinds of special products in Datong. They are the signs and proof that the lives of our Datong people are getting better and better! Seeing these products harvest and sell well, my heart and the’Starlight team ‘are warm."
At the closing ceremony, three Datong fellow villagers, Bai Gaoshan, Yang Zelin and Pang Nadong, as representatives of the yellow flower industry, also presented Jackie Chan with a plaque with the words "Flowers Bloom and Forget Worries". With this simple gift, Jackie Chan and the filmmakers have done everything for Datong. Jackie Chan said: "This is not for me alone, but to thank all the people who have dedicated themselves to public welfare and helped poverty reduction."
