About the Competition

In recent years, social pressures have become widespread, and negative news about young people is often heard. To help young people establish correct values, cherish life, and develop their potential, the "The Corner of Life" series of activities was launched. This competition is the first event in the series, aiming to encourage young people to record meaningful life stories through their camera lenses in their daily lives. Through online media, the goal is to use life to educate life, allowing more young people to be nurtured and grow.
