Together with Yin Yin New, Cheung visited the communities and children that have been hit hard by HIV/AIDS in southwest China's Yunan Province. During the press conference, the host shared some experiences from this trip.
Cheung had the chance to see how children are affected by HIV/AIDS, and how successful efforts to boost HIV prevention and care are helping these communities. This was clearly a meaningful trip for the actress. "You cannot fully understand the feeling until you actually come face to face with those people, who suffer unimaginable poverty and hardship."
