ChineseAll, a leading Chinese digital publishing company, donated 10 digital reading tables for children to the Women's General Association of Macao via the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation (CCTF) at a ceremony in Beijing on Thursday.

Xie Wanxiu, vice-president of Women's General Association of Macao, expressed her thanks to the company for its donations on behalf of the association, and hoped to cooperate more closely with the company in the future as well as bring more outstanding children's picture books to Macao, so that children there could know more about the Chinese mainland through digital reading.

Tong Zhilei, president of ChineseAll, said in his speech that as a leader in China's digital publishing, ChineseAll has attached the same importance in creating economic and social benefits, participating in public welfare causes and shouldering social responsibilities. Tong hoped that the donation would enhance communication and exchange, and help build a bridge between preschool children in the Chinese mainland and Macao.

Zhao Donghua, vice-president and member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) and vice-president of CCTF, delivered a speech in which she expressed her thanks to the association of Macao for its consistent support for women and children's development in the Chinese mainland.

This year, the association will donate around U.S. $81,400 to the Children's Happy Home and the Spring Bud projects in the Chinese mainland, to help children of migrant workers and impoverished female college students improve their lives and promote their healthy growth.

Zhao also expressed her thanks to ChineseAll for its contributions to children's public welfare.

"As a public company and one of the pioneers in digital publishing in China, ChineseAll has shouldered its social responsibilities to repay society during its development," Zhao said, lauding the company that the digital reading tables it donated would help establish a platform of cultural exchanges between children in Macao and Chinese mainland and offer them an excellent cultural and reading experience.

Tong Zhilei, president of ChineseAll, also said in his speech that as an enterprise that applied digital publishing to the educational field in its infancy in China, it has shown concern for the reading demands of people at different ages. Preschool education plays a crucial role for children's development and is a necessity of developing their talent and potential, so the donated children's digital reading tables were selected based on its long-term observation of children's reading features, to help children study whilst playing and read during the games, he said.

By combining various multi-media educational reading resources, the tables provide a unique study platform for children, said organizers.
