has been rampaging across the world, threatening lives, and

Ted Wen, Chairman of the two foundations, said, "this is a critical
moment for human beings. No single country or person can control
the crisis alone. We need everyone to take actions." Mr. Wen
further elaborated that "quarantine is not distance, but can be a
thought of as a new way to live. And this new lifestyle can be the
key to defeating COVID-19."
The video production is the brainchild of Audrey Yang, Vice
Chairman of the foundations. The messages relayed are that "It's
time for all of us to stand up, and by protecting yourself, you can
protect many, and thus the world. The willpower of individuals can
forge into a global strength to safeguard public health and save
lives."
Most countries have imposed lockdown and closed borders to restrict
the movement of individuals in a disparate effort to contain spread
of the deadly virus. The drastic measures alone are not strong
enough to crush the virus that we know very little about.
Everyone's participation is needed in order to beat COVID-19.
Four stories are told in the video to stress that by starting from
protecting yourself, you can make changes to the world. The
up-pointing index finger means "protect one and protect
everyone."
The segments depict how residents from different corners of the
world are coping with unprecedented threats in their life. They
show how the individuals, from different cultures and age groups,
do their best to fight the coronavirus in an effort to protect
themselves, their family, and society, with hopes to restore peace
and order in their hometown.
The iSee Taiwan Foundation was founded by late entrepreneur Sayling
Wen In 2003. The foundation's vision is to become an essential
portal for the world to see Taiwan via cultural tourism. The
Sayling Wen Cultural & Educational Foundation's vision is to
provide talents for future society by promoting industrial value
oriented lifelong learning.
