HONG KONG, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "You've Got a Friend" charity concert, organized by the Hong Kong Mental Wellness Association, will take place from April 9 to 11, 2025, at the Rita Tong Liu Drama Theatre of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. The concert aims to raise public awareness about mental wellness. Veteran media personality Brian Chow will serve as the director and talk show host. At the same time, renowned singer and HiFi diva Susan Wong will perform to convey positive messages and an optimistic attitude towards emotional well-being.
To further promote awareness of emotional health, the Hong Kong Mental Wellness Association held a press conference for the charity concert in mid-December 2024. During the event, Brian Chow and Susan Wong discussed the concert's objectives and preparation process. Former Miss Hong Kong winner Virginia Yung shared her experiences with emotional struggles.
Brian Chow, a beacon of hope in the fight against emotional disorders, reflected on the past two decades. He stated, "I often ask myself if I have emotional problems without realizing it. Fortunately, I have not magnified this worry and frequently remind my friends that if they suspect they have emotional issues, they should share their feelings with others and seek professional help if necessary." He emphasized that emotional disorders are pervasive, and people sometimes choose to avoid confronting their problems. This is one of the reasons he is participating in the charity concert, hoping to encourage those around him to understand that "there's always a friend by your side; You've Got a Friend!"
Susan Wong, who balances her roles as a practicing accountant, wife, and mother, spoke about the pressures and challenges of her multiple identities. She shared, "I listen to music when I'm happy, and when I'm not, singing helps relieve my mood. Through this concert, I hope to use my music to heal everyone's emotional health and help those struggling with emotional issues release their stress and find a brighter future. It's okay not to be okay!"

"You've Got a Friend" Charity Concert Aims to Promote Mental Wellness
BREA, Calif., Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewSonic Corp, a leading global provider of visual solutions, supports the 2024-25 PASVEX Robotics Signature Event, held from December 19th to 21st at the Pacific American School (PAS) in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The event brings 61 international teams together to compete in robotics challenges, fostering innovative learning and team engagement. To enhance the experience for participants and spectators, PAS has adopted ViewSonic's 163-inch All-in-One LED display (LDM Series) alongside multiple visual solutions, ensuring crisp, live competition broadcasts and strengthening the overall event atmosphere.
"Hosting this competition reflects our commitment to providing students with a platform that inspires creativity and fosters learning," said Pamela Chu, Head of School at Pacific American School. "The addition of ViewSonic's visual solutions, such as the 163-inch LED display, serves as an excellent tool for international events. Its flexibility also enhances students' experiences, elevating their engagement in a variety of school activities."
"It is exciting to witness ViewSonic's LED display empowering PAS to host a global robotics competition. The All-in-One LED display simplifies setup while delivering vibrant visuals and an engaging experience for sizable audiences. With the added mobility of the floor stand, it offers greater flexibility and accessibility for large display applications. This reflects our dedication to offering solutions that meet the needs of organizations while advancing innovation and transformative visual experiences," said Dean Tsai, General Manager of Projector & LED Display Business Unit at ViewSonic.
The LDM Series delivers large, clear, and immersive competition live-streaming for participants who stay in the viewing area, addressing the limitations of previously fixed, wall-mounted 130-inch traditional LED displays. The 163-inch high-brightness screen, paired with dual 30W speakers, enhances the viewing experience and engagement, while its all-in-one system integration design and a built-in OS allow for easy operation via remote control and dedicated VEX broadcast app installation. The addition of a mobile stand ensures easy repositioning, enabling the display to adapt to diverse event layout needs, such as wirelessly mirroring tactical strategies for sports coaching, presenting artwork, or serving as a backdrop for musical performances.
Beyond the LDM Series, ViewSonic's broader suite of visual solutions ensures a seamless visual experience across the venue. ViewBoard interactive displays are featured to display real-time rankings, competition schedules, and updates in key areas, improving accessibility for teams. A high-brightness laser projector in the media center supports live streaming and event broadcasting, presenting clear visuals and reliable performance for spectators.
