An Open Mind & Heart in the Next Normal
For people who love life, age is a mere number. In mid-life, people can still make good use of their abilities and passion.
In this session, several celebrities will talk about how they face "adversity" and the "pandemic", and how they dedicate themselves in their works and find their true identities after mid-life. In the new normal, the panelists will also share ways to manage their emotions and life well, to give full play to infinite possibilities, and to act for common good.
