Harmony Liu:
Future Leader with a big heart
When the first charity event of the
"Stop Ebola, Build Up Future Concert"
was hosted by
the Anti-Ebola Committee of United Nations,
people were surprised to see a 9-year-old American-Chinese
girl
named
Harmony Liu
(nicknamed as Harmony Princess)
from New York 188 Elementary School of Bayside.
She walked in together with many famous super stars that
were invited as special guests
to go to the red carpet. Furthermore, she was busy signing the posters
that are used as propaganda for fighting
Ebola after the
adults who make donations, and at the same time, she was
busy taking pictures with the starts
who loved what she
does; they have became
Fans! Why was that?
Well, her drawing was selected from a drawing contest hosted
by the
“Global Future Leader Organization ”
and her drawing was chosen to be the theme leading picture.
Ambassadors and many officials of the United Nations
along with many stars appreciated the meaning of her creative as following
content :
“People had just woken up from the nightmare
of SARS,
but the bloody and hungry Ebola invaded Africa again,
opened his mouth to Earth's Human being. He is indeed, a
stranger
to mankind, so he was on the way to spread his
poison all over the planet.
The World Healthy Organization of the United Nations (WHO)
lead people to fight back, raising its UN flag highly. Sierra Leone is
one of the most seriously affected by Ebola and its
president,
top scientist and top doctor together invented
new medicines to use the needle with injection tube to fight
to Ebola !
People are using their wisdom to defeat such an enemy again,
protecting their health
and the balance of the world.”
We Notice that this incredible and vivid
imagery was created by a 9-year-old
American born Chinese girl, Harmony Liu; she used symbolism
to represent the
“War” against Ebola, but still with some childish marks.
The micro viruses of Ebola are being turned into big worms,
being attacked by everyone under the flag of the United
Nations.
Experts, doctors, and presidents are working
together using a syringe as a cannon, pills as bombs.
Their efforts encourage the African countries, and their
flags will keep flying in the sky.
The rising sun foreshadows that victory will be ours.
Many officials and stars appreciated
Little Harmony’s drawing.
More meaningfully and importantly, she gave up her 900
dollars lucky money
which she had saved over 9 years received from relatives
during Chinese New Year holidays for printing posters to promote
anti-Ebola,
and hope raise fund from everyone who donated more than 10 dollars would
receive a signature
from her on her posters.
The Stop Ebola committee of UN will plan to bring this
painting to ask
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to give this
painting a signature as to encourage her doings.
I am indeed excited as a reporter, to see the
benefits of such events for training children’s morality,
creativity,
and compassion, as it is essential to children’s
growth.
Harmony’s drawing ability was not being
taught, it was trained; drawing is an aid to children’s
ability to observe, to image, and to remember.
Drawing is an experience of heart; a child
has to go through every little bit with attention, and make
them into logical relations.
Harmony is indeed a smart girl; having
decent education from her family since little.
She won the Hollywood Acting Contest for children model show
which the award
is IPOd in her age of 6, and she was the only Asian girl to
win it.
She also participates in different charity activities,
getting prizes in a variety of fields, having good grades in
every subject.
She thinks about others, cares about her
younger sisters and brothers, unites her friends, pays
attentions to her surroundings,
and is also eager to ask and think.
Harmony Liu is not a politician or
social worker.
She is just a little girl with a kind smile.
She was born the same year the “World Harmony Bell” was
born, which was alsothe
UNited Nations 60's birthday, so her English name was chosen as
“Harmony,”
meaning Harmony for Peace (Chinese name also has a nickname
Princess “Gege”).
Her fate was bonded to world harmony since her birth;
her destiny is to promote Harmony and Peace!
I believe this clever little girl is
here with such a mission; she will make her own contribution
to the world.
She is a role model for all kids ! I am proud for being a
Chinese!
