In line with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Regimen and Culture Exhibition on Ngong Ping 360 at Lantau Island and the brand’s long-standing motto of “Nurturing Kindness and Virtue. Preserving Tranquility and Wellness”, BTRT donated 1,669 Ngong Ping 360 Cable Return Tickets to different social welfare charities and organizations around Hong Kong to offer a complimentary trip exploring Ngong Ping. In addition, Beijing Tong Ren Tang BTRT will organize free health talk on stroke prevention and clinic visits for the elderly between October and November to promote stroke awareness. By welcoming participants from all walks of life, it encourages the public to adopt a more active lifestyle with better health management methods.
As the eighth consecutive year of “Stroke Prevention Campaign”, Beijing Tong Ren Tang continues to spread awareness for stroke prevention and share the brand’s spirit of “Nurturing Kindness and Virtue. Preserving Tranquility and Wellness”. According to the World Stroke Organization, one in six people will suffer from a stroke, while one dies from a stroke every six seconds. As an aggressive, rapidly evolving cerebrovascular disease, stroke can cause permanent brain damage and is the leading cause of disabilities worldwide. Long work hours, an unhealthy diet, and a lack of exercise are all potential risks of stroke. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Regimen and Culture Exhibition will hopefully help participants learn more about effective health and wellness methods via TCM and offer encouragement to implement TCM into daily practice and lead a healthier lifestyle.
