When the audiences sang with my children on stage at the end, I’m with tears in my eyes. I believe that the parents of other children feel the same. Loves will return to those who gives love, blessings will return to those who blesses others. Chairwoman Madam Anni and Chairwoman Madam Lisa are synonymous with love and beauty.
