On September 20, 2025, New York time, the 21st United Nations International Peace Concert in 2025, jointly produced by the World Madam Foundation, Good News, OMMM, etc., achieved complete success. The event started at 11:30 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. with more than 100 volunteers holding the flags representing 193 countries of the United Nations forming a circle symbolizing unity and peace and calling out “Let peace Prevail” in unison. During the event, two songs, “Dear World” and “Let peace Prevail”, sparked enthusiastic responses from both online and offline audiences.

​”Dear World” was composed by Dai Rui, the President of the International Artificial Intelligence Association, who traveled a long – distance to the event site in person and sang it jointly with American male singer Mark MK McLaughlin and American female singer Renee Knorr.

“Let peace Prevail” was jointly sung by Huang Annie, the founder of the World  Madam Foundation and the representative of the composition, Liora Michelle Greeng, the 2024 Global Champion of World Mrs., American young singer Martin Qin, and American male singer Mark MK McLaughlin.

These two songs skillfully blend passionate and lyrical melodies. Through their emotionally – charged lyrics, they depict a fervent yearning for peace and a beautiful vision for future life.

The English lyrics of “Let peace Prevail” were written by Wang Jiangang, the Vice – President of the United Nations Correspondents Association. Anni Huang, the founder of the World  Madam Foundation, was responsible for the Chinese lyrics, and Liu Liangzi, the 2021 Global Runner – up of World Madam, composed the music. She and American singer Josh Moran gave the song’s premiere at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 8, 2024. This song has been translated into the six official working languages of the United Nations: Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic, and has been released around the world.

When Anni Huang was interviewed by the media and shared her creative insights, she said, “When I first entered the United Nations, I saw the words of former UN Secretary – General Ban Ki – moon, ‘The World is Over – armed, and Peace is Under – funded’, which gave me profound inspiration and a strong spiritual shock. I hope that by creating this song full of hope and strength, it can shine like a beam of light on people’s longing for peace in their hearts and inspire people to work together for world peace as a gift for the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.”

The International Day of Peace was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981. It aims to advocate a global cease – fire and non – violence, and to commemorate and strengthen the ideal of peace. This festival is set on September 21st every year, calling on all countries and peoples to stop hostilities on this day. Since its establishment, it has become a global event, encouraging people to promote peace through education and public awareness.

As of 2024, 20 United Nations International Peace Concerts had been held. These events aim to inspire action and emphasize the “initiative for peace”, jointly caring for the earth and the environment and working for peace. The 21st concert in 2025 was the largest – scale one ever. It was grandly held in Times Square and was live – streamed on various global platforms. According to incomplete statistics, the cumulative number of online viewers across all platforms exceeded 10 million.

【WORLD MADAM New York Update】

“Let Peace Prevail” Echoes as the Theme Song at the 21st UN International Day of Peace Concert in Times Square

New York, September 20, 2025 — Co-produced by the World Madam Foundation together with Good News, OMMM and other partners, the 21st United Nations International Day of Peace Concert was held in grand fashion at Times Square, New York, and concluded with great success.

The event ran from 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It ended with more than 100 volunteers, carrying the flags of the UN’s 193 Member States, forming a great circle symbolizing “unity and peace,” and together raising their voices in the call: “Let Peace Prevail.”

Two theme songs—“Dear World” and “Let Peace Prevail”—stirred both live audiences and millions watching online across global platforms.

Songs that Resonated with Peace

“Dear World” was composed by Dai Rui, President of the International Artificial Intelligence Association, who traveled thousands of miles to perform live alongside American singers Mark MK McLaughlin and Renee Knorr.
“Let Peace Prevail” was performed by World Madam Foundation Founder Anni Huang, World Madam 2024 Global Champion Liora Michelle Greeng, young American singer Martin Qin, and Mark MK McLaughlin.

Both pieces fused passionate and lyrical melodies, with heartfelt lyrics expressing humanity’s fervent longing for peace and bright hopes for the future.

The Inspiration Behind Let Peace Prevail

“Let Peace Prevail” was created with English lyrics by UN Correspondents Association Vice President Martin Jiangang Wang, Chinese lyrics by World Madam Foundation Founder Anni Huang, and composition by World Madam 2021 Global Runner-up Liangzi Liu. The song was first performed at UN Headquarters on March 8, 2024, by Liu and American singer Josh Moreland. It has since been translated into all six official UN languages—Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic—and released worldwide.

In an interview, Annie Huang recalled: “When I first entered the United Nations, I was struck by former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s words: ‘The world is over-armed, and peace is under-funded.’ Those words inspired me to use music as a light to awaken the yearning for peace in people’s hearts. My hope is that Let Peace Prevail is not only a song, but also a beacon that inspires people to work together for a future without war. I dedicate it as a gift to the 80th anniversary of the United Nations.”

The Significance of the Day and the Concert’s Impact

The International Day of Peace was established by the UN General Assembly in 1981 and, since 2001, has been observed annually on September 21. Its aim is to advocate for global ceasefire and non-violence, and to encourage nations and peoples to promote peace through education, culture, and cooperation. On this day, the UN Secretary-General traditionally rings the “Peace Bell” at UN Headquarters in New York, while peace concerts, seminars, and cultural events are held around the world. It has become a global day of reflection, reminding humanity that without peace, there can be no sustainable development—nor a future.

By 2024, the International Peace Concert had been successfully held 20 times.

The 21st edition in 2025 marked its largest scale ever, with Times Square as its iconic stage. The event was streamed live on multiple global platforms, attracting an estimated audience of over 10 million viewers worldwide, making it a landmark celebration of peace that drew global attention.

【WORLD MADAM纽约动态】

《守望和平》在时报广场第21届联合国国际和平日大型音乐会上唱响主题

纽约时间2025年9月20日，由世界夫人基金会携手 Good News、OMMM 等机构联合制作的第21届联合国国际和平音乐会在纽约时代广场隆重举行并取得圆满成功。

本次活动自上午11时30分持续至下午5时。在百余名志愿者手持代表联合国193个会员国国旗组成的圆形方阵中，以象征“团结与和平”的歌声齐呼“Let Peace Prevail（守望和平）”，为整场活动画下完美句点。

音乐会上，两首主题曲——《Dear World》与《Let Peace Prevail》——引发现场观众与全球线上平台的热烈反响。

两首歌曲共鸣和平呼声

《Dear World》由国际人工智能协会理事长戴睿创作，他不远万里亲临现场，与美国歌手 Mark MK McLaughlin 和 Renee Knorr 联袂献唱。
《Let Peace Prevail》由世界夫人基金会创始人黄安妮、世界夫人2024全球总冠军 Liora Michelle Greeng、美国少年歌手 Martin Qin 以及歌手 Mark MK McLaughlin 同台演绎。

两首作品将激昂与抒情的旋律巧妙融合，以饱含深情的歌词描绘了人类对和平的炽热向往与对未来的美好憧憬。

《Let Peace Prevail》的创作初心

《Let Peace Prevail》由联合国记者协会副主席王建刚创作英文歌词，世界夫人基金会创始人黄安妮撰写中文歌词，世界夫人2021全球亚军刘良子担任作曲，并与美国歌手 Josh Moreland 于2024年3月8日在联合国总部首唱。该歌曲已被翻译成联合国六种工作语言（中文、英文、法文、俄文、西班牙文、阿拉伯文），并在全球范围广泛传播。

黄安妮在接受媒体采访时回忆道：“我第一次走进联合国时，看到前秘书长潘基文的一句话——‘The world is over-armed, and peace is under-funded（世界军备过度，和平资金不足）’，这句话深深震撼了我。它启发我用音乐去点亮人们心中对和平的渴望。我希望《守望和平》不仅是一首歌，更是一束光，鼓舞全世界携手努力，共同迎接没有战争的未来。谨以此作为对联合国成立80周年的献礼。”

和平日的意义与音乐会的影响

联合国国际和平日（International Day of Peace）由联合国大会于1981年设立，自2001年起固定在每年的9月21日，旨在倡导全球停火与非暴力，呼吁各国与人民通过教育、文化与合作推动和平。在这一天，联合国秘书长会在纽约总部的“和平钟”敲钟，全球各地也会举办音乐会、研讨会、艺术活动等形式多样的和平庆典。国际和平日已成为全人类共同反思的重要时刻，提醒世界：没有和平，就没有可持续发展，也没有未来。

截至2024年，国际和平音乐会已成功举办20届。今年的第21届活动是有史以来规模最大的一次，首次在纽约时报广场盛大举行，并通过全球多平台同步直播。据不完全统计，累计在线观看人数超过1000万，成为全球瞩目的和平盛事。

September is National Cholesterol Education Month, an annual observance aimed at raising awareness about the importance of managing cholesterol levels. The month is dedicated to educating the public about the heart disease risks associated with high cholesterol and the steps individuals can take to help maintain healthy levels.   It’s the perfect time to meet the animated characters called the “Lipid Lurkers”—a visual representation of an often-unnoticed risk lurking in patients’ artery walls. While they may look small and silly, they represent a very real and dangerous health threat. Fat and cholesterol are types of lipids transported through the blood. Certain types of lipids, particularly LDL-C or “bad” cholesterol, can lead to buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke.   This campaign was created to help educate and empower the nearly 100 million U.S. adults with high LDL-C—especially those who can’t take statins (medications to lower cholesterol) or who have uncontrolled cholesterol and haven’t reached their target levels despite treatment.   Now, there are solutions that offer an alternative to statins— additional options for lowering LDL cholesterol—while also lowering the risk of heart attacks and heart procedures like stent placement or bypass surgery    On Wednesday, September 10, LeAnne Bloedon, MS, RD, Vice President, Clinical Development at Esperion Therapeutics, will be available to discuss the havoc that too much bad cholesterol can cause inside artery walls—and how to lower your cholesterol.   She’ll also outline:   What high LDL cholesterol really does to your body (and why it’s often silent) Why managing cholesterol matters before your first cardiovascular event How the “Lipid Lurkers” campaign is making heart health more accessible, relatable, and even fun Who’s at risk—and what new options are available beyond traditional statins https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/esperions-lipid-lurkers-campaign-sheds-light-high-ldl-cholesterol-hiding-artery-walls
