Following last year's 1 1 month invitation to SOULFLY, SHADOWS FALL and other world-class bands to participate in the Yangtze River Midi Music Festival, Beijing Midi Performance Company made persistent efforts and recently announced that the grand finale of this year's Beijing Midi Music Festival in May 1 day will be one of the greatest hard rock/pop rock bands in the world with a history of more than 20 years. Has set a sales myth of many charts and tens of millions of records; MR. BIG of America is as famous as Bonjovi, Gun and Rose!
This year, there will be more than 100 groups of bands and musicians from home and abroad appearing on the Midi stage in Beijing and Shanghai, among which Mr. Da from the United States is a legendary band at the palace level. It is reported that Mr. Da, who is visiting China for the first time, will give a 2-hour performance at Beijing Midi Music Festival on 201,sincerely creating an uncompromising top audio-visual feast for China fans! There are also famous overseas bands such as MONGOL800 in Japan and your favorite enemy in Canada. In China, there are more popular bands such as Bitter, Hag, AK47, Brain Turbid, Mirror, Zero One, Top Floor Circus, Crystal Butterfly and Self-help Tour. And a large number of outstanding young bands such as Finger, Mr.Graceless, The Ghost Spardac and Mushroom Group took to the stage. 20 1 1 The theme of Midi Music Festival is "Bear Love Action". This year, Midi Music School, in conjunction with the Asia Animal Foundation, promoted the theme of "Save the Moon Bear, Resist Live Bear's Bile Taking and Bear Bile Products" to the music festival site, calling on more people to care for rare animals such as Moon Bear and * * * and resist cruelty to animals. Midi will also promote this theme in the 4th Midi Music Festival and all major events held throughout the year.
Moon bear, also known as Asian black bear, is one of the eight largest bears in the world. In the international convention for the protection of endangered animals and plants, the moon bear is listed as a first-class protected animal. In China, the moon bear is listed as a second-class protected animal because of its huge economic benefits. At present, there are only about 25,000 bears in the world, and there are about 6,543.8+0,000 in China. She is a docile bear, who eats grass all the year round and only eats meat when she is hungry and breastfeeding. She is famous for the golden moon bud pattern on her chest. Her bile has become a commodity in China's bear industry in 1980s, on the grounds that "in order to reduce the hunting of bears in the wild, we develop artificial breeding". According to statistics, more than 10000 black bears in China are suffering from the pain of taking bile from live bears. In bear farms all over China, lying in a raw iron cage can't stand up and turn for life. A metal tube with a length of 19 cm pierces bile and takes bile twice a day. Black bear is a kind of animal with free sex, and there is only one per square kilometer in the wild. In the bear factory, they are kept in cages that can't stand upright. All kinds of squeezing cages have made their lives worse than death, and some have been closed for 20 years. Many black bears bit their arms and hit their heads against iron cages, thus getting hurt. Some black bears have blood on their foreheads and faces and lost their hair because of the impact. If the moon bear is compared to an adult, it is a very face-saving person. In the wild, the moon bear never shows weakness. Even if it is very ill, it won't moan and give its opponent a chance to attack. So black bears are often dying when they are found to be sick. It is particularly noteworthy that at least 54 kinds of herbs can be used as substitutes for bear bile, and their prices are low, which can completely reach or even exceed the medicinal properties of bear bile.
Animal Foundation Asia is an officially registered animal welfare charity founded by jill robinson on 1998. It is headquartered in Hong Kong and has offices in Britain, the United States, Australia, Germany and Italy, where it enjoys tax relief. Animal Foundation Asia has also established black bear rescue centers in China and Viet Nam, with more than 230 employees worldwide. Their mission is to improve the living conditions of all animals in Asia, end animal abuse and restore respect for all animals in Asia. Animal Foundation of Asia 12 years has been devoted to eliminating live bears. It is only a non-profit organization, but it has saved thousands of black bears in 20 provinces of China. There are now 1 1 provinces and cities. I believe it is not far from the "national liberation" of Moon Bear!
Over the years, Midi Music Festival has been paying attention to and supporting the work of animals and environmental protection while advocating a healthy and active lifestyle and high-quality music scenes, and has been promoting and spreading it as the theme of the music festival. "Rock Supporting Animal Protection" in 2003; "Save the Rivers of China" in 2005; "Green and Peace" in 2007; 20 10 "low-carbon life" (buying the carbon emissions of all foreign bands), Midi Music Festival has been doing its best to promote and support it. 20 1 1, Midi launched "Bear Love Action". As a special partner, Animal Asia Foundation will promote and display this theme at Midi Music Festival, and together with Midi Music School, launch and sell the official series of commemorative T-shirts and peripheral products designed by many artists. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Asian Animal Protection Foundation. In this year's Midi Photography Exhibition, there are not only the photography exhibition of Moon Bear Base, but also the charity sale of AAF Moon Bear dolls and accessories of Asian Animal Foundation, as well as the live interaction of Moon Bear dolls. At that time, celebrities will come to perform and reproduce the experience of the moon bear in the cage. In addition, films related to nature and music, such as Road to the Moon Bear, will be shown on the spot.
All the staff of Midi Team attach great importance to this bear-loving action, deeply admire the silent love and contribution of Animal Asia Foundation Club, and empathize with their love and care for animals. I hope that this time, we must help them well, make their works known to the public, and stick to good suggestions with flute fans. This is also the important social significance of Midi Music Festival besides music business!
Mahatma Gandhi once said that the civilization of a nation can be seen from its attitude towards animals. Today we say that saving the black bear is the self-salvation of the human soul. People and animals are all members of the earth family, and human cruelty to animals can only lead to the deterioration of the ecological environment, so protecting nature and animals is also protecting human living space. At present, China and North Korea are the only countries in the world where it is legal for live bears to take bile. We hope that China can finally legislate to abolish the cruel live bear bile industry! At present, 62 non-governmental organizations across the country have called on relevant units to formulate a policy of closing bear farms as soon as possible and ban the industry of taking bile from live bears, which is an unavoidable public demand. Let's take practical actions to save the moon bear, reject bear bile products, let the moon bear go home, and give them the freedom and dignity they deserve!
Everything is for the moon bear, and life is always equal. 20 1 1 Performance Schedule of Beijing Midi Music Festival (Yan Stage)
