Message for Anti-Epidemic Fatigue < Hardship Crystallized as Valuable Jade >
posted on Apr 2, 2022
From: Mr. Evan Tse President, Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association (HKOMA)
Hong Kong has been suffering its fifth wave of the epidemic since January 2022. The severe epidemic has not only devastated the economy of Hong Kong, but also severely disrupted our daily routines, and the continuous negative news has made everyone feel depressed. In early March, the number of confirmed cases of the Covid-19 exceeded 50,000 per day, and it has dropped to around 6,000 so far on March 31. We hope that Hong Kong has passed the peak of the fifth wave, and our life is gradually becoming normal. Mr. Kerry Chan, Executive Committee Member of the Recreation Section HKOMA, would like to present a musical video (MV) of the song "We Grew Up This Way" to all of you. The song was sung by Kerry. He also led the production team of HKOMA to produce the video, song recording, and the English translation of the lyrics. The presentation of this MV is with an aim to send positive energy to everyone during this difficult period of the epidemic. Please pay attention to the lyrics.
