Priceless Life, Let Love Soar: Taiwan's Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Educational Foundation Sends Love to Chengdu, Chongqing, Yiwu, and Shanghai to Aid Underprivileged Children with Cancer
First Group of Mainland Underprivileged Children with Cancer to Visit Taiwan in November 2019 for a Dream-Fulfilling Journey with Taiwanese Children with Cancer
 

Mr. Chou Chin-Hua , Founder of  Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Educational Foundation mentioned that there are 40,000 new cases of childhood cancer each year, with nearly half of their's families are migrant workers. Unlike Taiwan's health insurance system, which covers partial medical expenses, this situation leaves informed individuals unable to bear witnessing mainland Chinese children with cancer unable to afford chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical costs, leading them "to face near-certain death at home". As a result, the Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Educational Foundation of Taiwan gathers compassion from all sectors of Taiwanese society and diligently sends aid to mainland Chinese children with cancer every year, quietly and perseveringly. Over 21 years, they have brought hope and assistance to more than 20,000 disadvantaged children with cancer, including Sichuan's leukemia dancer Zhang Ruixu, enabling them to live with hope.
 
Ms. Guo Ying-Lan, the Chairperson of the  Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Educational Foundation said that, in order to promote widespread participation in Taiwan and Mainland, as well as sustainably aid disadvantaged children with cancer in mainland China, this initiative specially invites various Golden Ribbon Support Centers from mainland China to join the effort. In November 2019, ten disadvantaged children with cancer from mainland China will be invited to Taiwan to join Taiwanese children with cancer for a journey of life, fulfilling their dreams together.

Chou Shang-Kuan , the Executive Director of the Cross-Strait and International Exchange Center of CTK Cultural and Educational Foundation, stated that in order to spread the love from Taiwan's students to worldwide, the donated hair across the provincewould be gathered and created thousands of compassionate wigs every year . In addition to sustaining donations to women and children with cancer in Taiwan, CTK Cultural and Educational Foundation have also progressively donated compassionate wigs to cancer patients in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, and Singapore. Starting this year, they will extend their donations to women and children with cancer in mainland China, spreading love far and wide.

In addition to awarding cancer-fighting scholarships,  Chou Ta-Kuan, leader of the Chou Ta-Kuan Children's Ensemble and other life warriors, will perform Taiwanese folk songs and present each young patient with gifts and Chou Ta-Kuan's work "I Still Have One Leg." They will also share successful experiences of fighting cancer with love.

Established in 1997, the  Chou Ta-Kuan Cultural and Educational Foundation was founded by Chou Chin-Hua and Guo Ying-Lan, parents of  Chou Ta-Kuan, along with their friend Zhao Cuihui, principal of the Canadian Chinese School, to fulfill little poet and life warrior Chou Ta-Kuan's legacy of "love life and live happily"

Over the past 21 years, the foundation has recognized 400 recipients of the Global Love of Life Medal from 59 countries across 5 continents. They have continued to support over 210,000 global disadvantaged children with cancer and sustain efforts in cross-strait and global initiatives promoting life-affirming public welfare activities.
