Japjot perfomed a Hindi-Language song Phir Mohobbat by Arijit Singh.
Our singer Mr Ding perfomed a song named “The Lost Lamb”, a deeply emotional piece that resonates with the core values of our environmental mission.
This song tells the story of a lamb that has strayed from its path—confused, vulnerable, and searching for a way back home. In many ways, this mirrors the current state of our planet: once in balance with nature, now lost amidst climate change, pollution, and overexploitation. Through its haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics, “The Lost Lamb” serves as a powerful metaphor for the Earth itself—crying out for care, compassion, and guidance. Just as the lamb yearns to return to safety, our planet calls on us to lead it back toward healing and harmony.
By including this song in our exhibition, we hope to inspire reflection and action. Let us listen, not only with our ears, but with our hearts—so that we may find our way back to a sustainable future together.

Beautiful day with our young leaders! On this day full of creativity and environmental protection spirit, we have successfully concluded the "Art for Earth" event!
Thank you to every participant for using brushes, colors and inspiration to speak for the earth and help environmental protection.
Each work carries the love for nature, the concern for ecology, and also conveys our beliefs in protecting our home together.
This is not only a feast of art, but also a call of the soul.
Through art, we make the concept of environmental protection more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and let more people realize that protecting the earth is everyone's responsibility!
Thanks again to all the friends who supported and participated in this event. May this green seed take root and sprout in the hearts of more people.
