2023 Weibo Night Commends Public Welfare Figures and Major Rescue and Relief Events
The 2023 Weibo Night Ceremony made a successful conclusion at the Beijing International Speed Skating Arena on January 13th. The event was attended by over a hundred cultural and sports celebrities, industry representatives, and Weibo Vs, including Yang Liwei, Yang Mi, and Yi Jianlian. The night honored major rescue and relief events of the year and commended several model public welfare figures and partners, demonstrating the growing importance of Weibo in public welfare communication and emergency and disaster relief.
Weibo’s “social collaboration network” has over 600 million monthly active users, making it a powerful platform for communication and disaster relief. The network links government departments, public welfare institutions, media, celebrities, enterprises, and other social rescue forces to open online help and offline rescue channels, enabling a closed loop of emergency disaster relief.
The event also recognized the efforts of individuals and organizations during major natural disasters, such as the heavy rains in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The stories of resilience and dedication displayed by individuals and organizations, such as train crew members, community leaders, and firefighters, resonated with millions of netizens on Weibo.
Weibo not only raises donations for disaster relief but also opens up information transmission channels, social assistance channels, and material transmission channels, ensuring that the power of public welfare can be accelerated and effective in a timely manner.
The Weibo Night also showcased the influence of celebrities, public welfare organizations, big Vs, and enterprises in contributing to public welfare. Notable figures like Cai Lei, who bravely fights ALS and advocates for rare disease awareness, and actor Yang Mi, who supports autistic children, were honored for their charitable work. Additionally, various organizations and companies, such as the Taohuayuan Ecological Protection Foundation and the China Greening Foundation, were recognized as Weibo Model Public Welfare Partners for their contributions to ecological protection and humanitarian causes.
The recognition of these diverse public welfare subjects at the 2023 Weibo Night emphasizes the platform’s role in connecting various social forces from government affairs, media, celebrities, and e-sports to contribute to public welfare. It reflects the vision of “everyone does public welfare and everyone participates” and encourages more organizations and individuals to join in exploring more efficient public welfare paths in the Internet era.
