January 2026

In 2013, we established our pet sanctuary, which is currently home to 29 dogs, including eight that are over 10 years old, four aged 9, one at 8, ten at 7, four at 6, and two at 5.

The senior dogs require heart medication and joint supplements, while eight others are on prescribed medication and prescription food.

All of them were abandoned or surrendered, but they have since found love and care at our sanctuary, where they will continue to lead happy and healthy lives.

We are immensely grateful to our friends and community for their support, which has enabled us to provide a dedicated on-site kennel technician, spacious indoor and outdoor facility, a playground, food, and medical care.

If you are interested in adopting, please reach out to me to arrange a visit to the sanctuary located in Laocheng City.

Thank you.

For climbers interested in testing their skills on one of Hainan’s most distinctive natural rock formations, the Shili Gallery competition offers a focused and well-structured outdoor event in a remarkable setting.

Baisha’s rainforest and terraced mountain rice fields set the scene on November 29 for the premiere of Homeland of the Stars, an original song introduced at the 2025 Rainforest and You Shanlan Culture Festival.

The event took place at Yacha Town’s Rice Farming Park and was jointly organized by several talent service organizations based in Hainan, including the Hainan International Talent Contact Service Workstation, Haikou International Talent Home, its Foreign Expert Work Space, the Friendly Foreign Relations liaison workstation, and the Longhua Fuan “Migratory Bird” Talent Workstation.

Emily, the song’s Cameroonian composer, attended the launch in person. Haikou International Talent Home also brought more than ten international professionals to take part, adding a global element to the celebration.

The festival is one of Baisha’s major cultural programs this year. With the theme “Preserving Millennia-Old Mountain Rice, Enjoying Rainforest Moments”, it is hosted by the Baisha Li Autonomous County Committee and County Government. The broader aim is to highlight Li ethnic traditions while linking cultural heritage with the region’s ecological resources. The song’s debut reflects an effort to include international talent in the cultural landscape of the Hainan Free Trade Port.

Emily has lived in Hainan for eight years. Drawn to Chinese language and culture, she came to the island from Cameroon in 2016 to study. She now performs Hainanese folk music and takes part in cultural exchange activities across the Free Trade Port. She says Baisha’s starry rainforest skies and stepped rice terraces remind her of home, and that the song grew out of that sense of connection. Through her involvement with programs run by Haikou International Talent Home, she has developed a creative style that blends local themes with an international sensibility.

According to Pi Jinyu, operations manager of Haikou International Talent Home, the event marks another step in ongoing cooperation between Baisha and the growing international community in Hainan. Since 2021, the organization has helped bring in more than 500 foreign professionals and has organized volunteer initiatives in Baisha.

Contributing to the creation and launch of Homeland of the Stars, Pi said, is an example of international talent engaging directly with local cultural projects and supporting the Free Trade Port’s development. It also offers new global perspectives for integrating agriculture, culture, and tourism.

The premiere incorporated traditional Li musical instruments, blending Emily’s composition with Li vocal styles to create a cross-cultural performance. The song was broadcast live by the Baisha Media Convergence Center and several provincial media outlets.

The 2025 “La’Aomen” festival also featured exhibitions of intangible cultural heritage, a farmers’ marketplace, and ethnic sports events. The involvement of international talent added new energy to Baisha’s longstanding Shanlan culture, helping present this heritage in a more open and outward-looking setting.

It's one of the most essential - yet often overlooked - steps to keeping your pet safe. Parasites can significantly affect your pet's health.

FLEAS

Their bites can lead to severe skin inflammation, hair loss, and secondary infection.
Fleas can also carry tapeworms, which pets may ingest while grooming, leading to intestinal infections.
In addition, pets can develop anemia from a severe flea infection.

TICKS

When attached to your pets they can transmit several dangerous diseases. While feeding, ticks can also release a toxin that causes paralysis caused by a toxin in tick saliva, leading to a loss of coordination and potentially severe breathing issues, which typically resolves when the tick is removed.

It is essential to use consistent, year-round tick prevention products. Routine checks after your dog has been in wooded or grassed areas are also critical. Prompt veterinary care is necessary for diagnosis and antibiotic or specialized treatment.

HEARTWORMS

They are transmitted to your pets by mosquitoes causing potential fatal effects. Once inside the body, heartworm lavae mature and settle in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, causing progressive damage. Growing worms can cause coughing fatigue, weight loss and difficulty breathing. Advanced heartworm disease can cause heart failure, organ damage, and death.


INTESTINAL PARASITES

Intestinal worms such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms feed on nutrients or blood in the digestive tract, leading to diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss.
intestinal worms can cause anemia, malnutrition, and intestinal blockage.
In addition, roundworms and hookworms can be sptead to humans.

Consult your veterinarian regarding whether to use oral or topical treatments according to your pet's age, health, lifestyle, and any specific regional risks.

Stick to a regular schedule to apply or administer the medication. 4-6 weeks apart.

Beware when ordering online as it could be fake goods using a brand's trademark often made with low-quality materials.
