Times Property and Times Property Charity Foundation are actively engaged in charitable causes, always with the intention of benefiting society as a whole. Thus far, they have subsidized the establishment of a recovery building in the welfare house for children's special education; two comprehensive hospitals; and 13 Hope primary schools. Additionally, they have held nearly 300 public events, enabled more than 3,000 cataract patients to receive surgery free of cost, and helped 30,000 students from poor families to finish school. Moreover, they operate the Times Museum--which they built--and, with that facility as the core, they have worked to promote urban civility through the melding of local culture and art ecology. To date, donations amount to more than RMB 300 million. In the future, Times Property and Times Property Charity Foundation will carry forward their mission of love as they strive for the development of social charity and public welfare. Thus the Times Property name will continue to represent the finest in corporate citizenship and social enterprise.
