"We are now more than inspired to continue the work that we started. Our hard work has initially paid off and we are up to the challenge in breathing life to what was once a huge task. Let us all move fast enough almost on double time before everything turns from bad to worse. We cannot wait. The time to act is now. Our dreams for us and our children will never be realized unless we collectively take the cudgel for a better future," said Dingdong.
