In the early hours of January 7, 2021, Mr. Wu Zezhou, one of the founders of Wu Promotion, left the world and his family he loved due to illness, and his life of science and art permanently ended on that day...... Mr. Wu Zezhou once proposed, at the very beginning of Wu Promotion’s establishment, that "I would like to do my utmost to introduce the outstanding cultures of various regions of the world to China, and if there is an opportunity, I would like to follow the path of my foregoers and spread the excellent Chinese culture and art to each corner of the world". He has passed away, but those who come after him will continue to move forward without forgetting the original intention.
On the first anniversary of Mr. Wu Zezhou's death, Wu Promotion officially launched the preparation work of setting up the Wu Zezhou Music Fund, in order to memorize and carry on Mr. Wu Zezhou's vision of "promoting the essence of Chinese culture and art to the world stage and international cultural market through the efforts of our own people. If opportunities arise, I would like to dedicate my life's passion and efforts to the promotion of traditional Chinese culture and the exchange of culture and arts between China and abroad". The memorial fund is not only for the sake of not forgetting the original heart, but also for the sake of a new departure! The "Wu Zezhou Music Fund" is an exclusively non-profit project for public benefit, aiming to promote the exchange of music and arts between China and abroad with its own efforts, such as to set up financial aid to music talents, and support young muscians and singers to perform on the Chinese and foreignstages.
