An eight-hour event called One World: Together At Home made a hit online on April 18, 2020. The concert was organized by World Health Organization (WHO), Global Citizen and Lady Gaga.
What made this concert successful wasn't just its famous stars, but also its purposes (目的): to show great love for the front-line doctors and nurses and to encourage people to give away their money to WHO during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Usually, musicians give shows in a concert hall and there is the typical concert technology and camera work. However, this time, in order to protect the health of people, these musicians performed at their own homes.
"Let's remind ourselves here in these difficult times there is still so much kindness, hope and joy in the world," said actor Matthew McConaughey, who went to the show. Besides the performances, there were scenes from the front lines and thoughts from the front-line doctors and nurses. In a video, Aisha al Muntheri, a hospital worker from Paris, said, "I was happy to serve on the front line. It's part of my value (价值) in medicine to serve people."
The event also encouraged people to stay at home, like the name "Together At Home". It may be hard to stay at home for long, but doing so can help keep COVID-19 under control. This, in turn, can keep the already tired doctors and nurses from being overworked.
The event has united (团结) people against a common challenge, when doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers around the world are taking risks to care for COVID-19 patients (病人). People won't feel lonely and afraid anymore.
