　　慈善晚宴现场，中澳两国政、商、文、体等各界精英及海内外爱心人士齐聚一堂，中华人民共和国驻墨尔本副总领事曾建华，澳大利亚半边天基金会创始人Guy Russo，首席执行官Deanne Bevan，凤凰网市场与公关部总经理侯春艳等嘉宾出席。

　　凤凰网市场与公关部总经理侯春艳代表主办方致辞，致辞翻译如下：

　　女士们，先生们，澳大利亚半边天基金会的朋友们，大家晚上好!

　　这是凤凰网美丽童行与半边天基金会的第二次合作，我们很开心可以再一次来到美丽的墨尔本，感谢公益将我们紧密的联系在一起。在这里，我想特别感谢Guy&Deanne 夫妇，以及澳大利亚半边天基金会的所有工作人员，你们一直以来的努力，让一部分远在中国的困境儿童感受到来自远方的关爱和温暖，让他们感受到人世间的美好，这对于他们今后的成长发挥着重要且积极的作用。

　　凤凰网，不仅是领先的互联网企业，亦是一家有影响力的网络媒体。我们坚持输出高品质的内容信息，坚守媒体责任担当;同时我们也一直不忘履行我们的企业社会责任，走在公益践行的道路上。美丽童行是凤凰网的大型公益活动，除了筹款晚宴，还包括贯穿全年的各种线下公益行走。我们的足迹始于2007年四川大凉山，一路走来，我们遇到过许多困难，但都坚持下来，我们坚信，点滴行动汇聚起来一定能够唤起更多的社会认知，推动行业的进步。在过去的12年里，美丽童行慈善晚宴的足迹跨越了3大洲，走过了全球的7座城市，我们与超过10家公益组织合作，帮扶超过32个儿童公益项目，总筹款逾1.6282亿元共同助力国际公益事业的发展。

　　去年，因为我有了第二个宝宝的原因没有来到咱们晚宴现场，一直觉得非常遗憾，今年能站在这里同大家一起为孩子们做点什么，我感到由衷的荣幸。作为一个两个孩子的母亲，我更加了解陪伴与关爱在孩子的成长阶段起到了多么重要的作用。哪个宝宝不是满心期待爸爸妈妈回家时大大又温暖的拥抱呢?每当我搂着自己的女儿时，我能感受到她们无比的喜悦和满足。这种安全感与自信，这种备受珍视的感觉将永远陪伴他们长大，让他们勇敢的去面对和探索未知的世界。在爱中长大的孩子必然也会用爱回报这个社会，我们今天所做的一切不仅仅是为了那些孩子，也是为了我们自己。因此，我在这里再次呼吁大家，坚持我们信念，不要放弃!

　　这些年，伴随我们的项目，我结识了许多像Guy&Deanne夫妇一样的爱心人士，他们善良、谦逊、对周遭有着深沉的爱。藉由共同的心愿，大家走到一起，美丽童行的队伍也在这12年间不断完善与壮大。 我们深知今天的我们也是所有合作伙伴共同造就的我们。在这条公益践行之路上，大家彼此认同，相互扶持，共同喝彩，只为帮助更多需要帮助的孩子。

　　最后，我想再次对澳大利亚半边天公益基金会致以谢意，也感谢在场的每位嘉宾为中国困境儿童付出的时间和努力。今晚也必定是一个特殊而温暖的夜晚，被我们所铭记，成为大家共同的美好的回忆!谢谢!

　　Good evening, ladies and gentleman, all friends of Half the Sky.

　　This is the second year that Ifeng.com Forever Happiness and Half the Sky to cooperate together in presenting charity gala. We come to this beautiful city with the same purpose and wishes as everyone sitting here, to help children in need. I want to thank Mr. Guy Russo, Ms. Deanne Bevan, and the Half the Sky Australia team for having us tonight. Because of your efforts, lots of children in need can feel the care and love across the ocean.

　　Ifeng.com is not only an internet enterprise in China, but also plays the important role as an influential media. We keep creating high quality contents and insist the responsibility in media. Meanwhile, we have been making lots of effort to fulfill our corporate social responsibility. “Forever Happiness” is one of the most significant charity events of Ifeng.com. We started from Daliangshan, Sichuan province in 2007, which included both fundraising and charity activities. In the past years, we have faced lots of challenges and difficulties. However, we believe that little actions together will generate big social awareness and promote the progress of the whole industry. So far Forever Happiness charity gala has gone to seven cities in three different continents. Throughout the years, we have built partnerships with over 10 experienced charitable organizations, and helped them reach a larger audience and raised more than $ 32 million.

　　Last year, I couldn’t come to this gala because of the born of my second child. It is my honor to join the event this year, together with all warm heart people, for a good cause. As a mom for two children, I understand how important roles that companionship and love played in the children’s growth. When I hold my daughters, I can feel their satisfaction and happiness. They will learn the courage and kindness by facing the difficulties. And they will always carry the love and confidence to discover the new world. What we do today is not only for children, but also for ourselves. Therefore, we would like to keep developing good projects and cooperate with great organizations like Half the Sky to benefit more children in China!

　　Thanks to our programme, I got to know people like Guy & Deanne who are kind, modest, and have a deep love with surroundings over the last few years. We get together through our common aspiration and the team of ‘Forever Happiness’ has been growing over the last 12 years as well. We will not be what we are today without our cooperators. On this journey, we recognize each other, support each other and cheer for each other, just for helping more vulnerable children.

　　Finally, I want to once again, thank Half the Sky Foundation Australia and everyone here for your time and effort to care about and help children in China. It must be a special and warm night for all of us to remember
