Anti-SARS Evening Gala to Be Staged in China
A special evening gala praising the outstanding achievements of the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan in the battle against severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) will be staged in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, on Friday.

The evening gala will be the largest cultural and artistic spectacle since the country was ravaged by SARS early this year.

The gala will feature dances and songs by pop singers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and televised interviews with celebrities such as Juan Antonio Samaranch, former president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Tung Chee-hua, Hong Kong Chief Executive, and Edmund Ho Hau Wah, Macao's Chief Executive.

The evening celebration, which will be broadcast live, is organized by the Foundation for Poverty Alleviation in China, the China Red Cross and the Yunnan Provincial People's Government, said sources from the Yunnan Provincial Government.
