On January 12th, the temperature in Shanghai dropped to the lowest level of the year, and a ragged Chinese girl appeared on the streets selling matches in the cold wind. This is not an ordinary box of matches. The front of the matches is printed with the words "There are many children in the mountain village who suffer from the cold like the 'little match seller', and they need your warmth"; On the back, there is a QR code with the words "Scan the code to donate and give warmth.". In fact, this is a public welfare performance art initiated by artist Forest Young invited by "Love Wardrobe". "Love Wardrobe" is a non-governmental public welfare organization that helps children in mountainous areas of China donate warm new clothes.
