Charity China 《公益中國》Presenter: Olivia Xu
Charity activities in China grow hand in hand with the economy in recent years. They have been gearing up in full force. According to government statistics as of 2012, there were about 457,500 registered non-governmental social organizations in China, such as International Fund for China’s Environment, Red Cross and the Salvation Army etc, not to mention informal associations established by individual entrepreneurs or volunteers.
Unconditional contribution and selfless acts to help the underprivileged are increasingly held in high esteem. To celebrities and large corporations, active participation in charity not only helps the needy but also polishes their public image in raising the awareness of social responsibility.
Charity China aims to promote the concept of charity – “helping others, helping ourselves”, and to strengthen the connection between organizations and those in need.
Each week the programme uncovers stories of voluntary charity organizations and individuals from a unique media perspective, and promotes a transparent platform for advice from experts genuinely dedicated to charity.
With her keen sensibilities, presenter Olivia Xu invites special guests to share their touching stories of noble devotion to various worthy causes. Guests, live audience and host discuss ideas and their experiences to reflect the tremendous force for good generated by charity engines across the country.

Architecture’s Dream 《築夢天下》
Great architectural structures share similar qualities, they are what inspire us in this program, Architecture’s Dream.
Architecture has long been the products of human civilization blending functional, economical, technical and artistic dimensions of society. From simple residential cottage, impressive royal mansion to magnificent skyscraper, behind those bricks and steel structures, it is the historical and cultural designs that make them immortal. They mean so much more than simply shelters but art works that mark the footprints and prosperity of human civilization.
Great architecture, like literature, always reflects the sentiment and vision of the designer and they are also the cultural expression of the time. Timeless architecture goes beyond the borders of nations, crosses the barricades of languages and cultures, showcasing the relentless endeavors and lasting accomplishments of different ethnic groups.
Architecture’s Dream takes audience on a field trip to visit various famous structures and examine their distinguished styles.
