A Grand Event to Be Held in Dongguan for the First Time

Times Property (1233.HK), a Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed company that has won three projects (Hengli, Shipai and Chashan) in Dongguan and is determined to fully expand its business into the city, in cooperation with Mr. Lang Lang, the United Nations Messenger of Peace and a "Chinese symbol" as an internationally renowned piano virtuoso, will, on January 4, 2017, hold a world-class art event titled "The Sound of Times, Lang Lang & Dongguan" concert at the Dongguan Yulan Theatre.

In order to encourage more citizens and families to take part in the event and contribute to the success of the Sound of Times in Dongguan, Times Property, together with the Dongguan Daily Media Group, held a program titled "The Sound of Times, Lang Lang & Dongguan," targeting  the city's elementary school students. The young musicians who are eventually selected will participate in the "Lang Lang Meet-and-Greet" on January 3 and may win tickets to the "Lang Lang & Dongguan Concert" scheduled for January 4. The grand-prize winner will also have the opportunity to perform at Lang Lang's New Year's concert. A series of activities, spanning 1.5 months and covering 32 towns and subdistricts of Dongguan and the eco-industrial park Songshan Lake, has attracted nearly 400 schools and training institutions, and is further expected to draw the attention and participation of more than 100,000 Dongguan households. "We hope to join hands with more Dongguan people in contributing to the event and injecting more vigor into the city," said a management member of Times Property who attended the press conference.

Times Faith Practiced in Dongguan

Despite its high prestige, Times Property is new to the people of Dongguan.

Times Property Holdings Limited, a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, is one of China's top 50 real-estate developers and is listed on Fortune's China 500. Currently, it focuses on residential real estate, commercial real estate, furniture, home improvement and property services. Times Property's business has grown to encompass nine economically developed cities: Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Qingyuan, Shenzhen, Huizhou and Changsha.

Times Property, which adheres to the corporate mission of "helping more people achieve the life to which they can look forward," has, as a corporate body, been deeply aware that life concerns not just the requirements of living space but also the benefits of artistic endeavor. Thus, upon entering a city, the company strives to bring stellar art to daily life as a sponsor of world-class events. In the Pearl River Delta region, the company has held the Yanni Haixinsha Concert, the Elton John Haixinsha Concert, the Na Ying New Year's Concert, the Eason Chan Concert in Guangzhou, and "Romeo and Juliet" in 2016, doing so in cooperation with the Guangzhou Opera House, thereby injecting the thrill of artistic accomplishment into urban life. Accordingly, Times Property, in cooperation with the virtuoso concert pianist Lang Lang, is set to bring a timeless piano performance to Dongguan, marking another splendid new chapter in the story of this vibrant city.

The Finest in Art, the Best of Times

Dongguan, famous for its Lingnan culture, has a history of more than 12 centuries but has, since 2001, implemented a strategy of "revitalizing the city through culture." The selections for the concert were especially chosen in recognition of Dongguan's development. The international piano superstar, coupled with an expert backroom team, will provide the people of Dongguan with audio-visual enjoyment to rival the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria. Times Property hopes, through this and other activities, to encourage Dongguan's budding musicians, explore the local cultural heritage and integrate art into the city, thus contributing to a new slogan for Dongguan: "Culture, life and art."

Times Property believes that anyone can become a life stylist when the finest in art is welcomed into the local culture. Let us all identify and spread the urban art of living as we celebrate the prosperity of Dongguan.
