The mysterious winners of the 4th Pearl Awards unveiled at Royal Festival Hall on 1st November. The Prince of Wales attended the awards ceremony to recognise the achievements of "unsung heroes" among Britain's Chinese community.
Florence Ji Dong Qiu, founder of the Sino-Anglo Culture Exchange Association, Lawyer Dominic Lee and Stanley Tse, boss of See Woo Chinese food Supermarket were the three mysterious “unsung heroes” of the 4th Pearl Awards.
After the announcement, ten-year-old piano prodigy Niu Niu and classical guitarist Xue Fei Yang gave a performance accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra.
Chinese ambassador, Madam Fu Ying and other Chinese overseas representatives also attended the awards.
In recent years, there is big number of Chinese people coming to settle in the UK. The bilateral co-operation between the UK and China has also been strengthened in many areas.
The Prince recognised this in his speech, "China and the UK will continue to work increasingly closely in the years ahead – not least with the transfer of the Olympic Games from Beijing to London and I am pleased to say that I have, over the last year or so, established a number of charitable initiatives in partnership with Chinese colleagues to encourage our two great countries to work together and learn from each other."
