She said: “In front of the statue of peace, in the Peace Square of the Memorial Hall, they sing the world classic Let the World Be Full of Love and the original Chinese song Ode to Peace, which is of great significance. The Purple Grass Choir has a mission to preach peace. I felt a special responsibility as the conductor: this is not only to sing well, but, more importantly, to preach peace.”
