China HIV/AIDS Media Partnership to fend off HIV/AIDS with "Umbrella"

    Michael Shiu, regional director of GBC China, noted that volunteerism is crucial for prevention. "Many volunteers came today to assist in the shooting of Umbrella. Everyone wants to be part of the campaign. We welcome more people to join us."

    Lu and Qin also expressed their will of doing something for the public welfare. "We are honored to be involved in such a serious, noble campaign and sincerely hope Umbrella will wake people up and help them realize that HIV/AIDS is right at their side. It spreads rapidly because of imprudence and ignorance," said Lu, very seriously. "Girls need to know how to better protect themselves," added Qin.

    Umbrella is expected to be released to the public by the end of November.
