It is reported that the publicity theme for this year’s World AIDS Day in China is “Joint Social Action, Integrity and Innovation, Ending AIDS.” As a public welfare institution that has been deeply engaged in adolescent HIV/AIDS prevention education for two decades, the Beijing Changier Education Foundation launched the film Changier as its key initiative during this year’s World AIDS Day period, using the power of light and shadow to convey the concept of “preventing AIDS through love.” To date, the film Changier has been screened in more than 100 cities across China, with nearly 3,000 preview events held nationwide, attracting positive responses from various sectors of society.
