God of Cantopop spreads positivity around the World

Dancing King of Cantopop cheers up the World
Following in the footsteps of “God of Cantopop” Sam Hui’s free one-hour online concert at Harbour City Ocean Terminal Deck in April, Aaron Kwok held a free one-hour concert at Ocean Terminal Deck, Harbour City in May. 80 dancers performed alongside Aaron Kwok during his dance hits, to raise funds for dancers who have been affected by the pandemic. As of today, Aaron Kwok’s performance raised initially more than 4 million dollars for his charitable foundation. To support this charity project, Harbour City donated HK$1 million to “Aaron Kwok Love and Concern International Charity Fund Limited”.
