创意城市成都以免费服务致敬白衣天使

 (English version below)

成都因其历史悠久、不断创新的美食而闻名于世。2010年，成都加入教科文组织创意城市网络，成为创意城市美食之都。成都是中国四大菜系之一——川菜的摇篮，成都美食、餐饮业和公众对美食的热情举世闻名。每年，成都在这一领域举办许多活动，如“成都国际美食旅游节”。

作为新冠病毒疫情退却阶段的一部分，教科文组织创意城市美食之都成都发起了“为白衣天使提供免费服务”倡议，以表达市民对医护人员的无私奉献和辛勤劳动的敬意，感谢他们在这场大流行病中捍卫市民的福祉和健康。

当地政府对医护人员采取了一系列优待和激励政策。除了提高工资和发放补贴外，该倡议还向医护人员提供免费参加文化活动的机会。许多文化企业也通过向医务工作者提供免费的休闲娱乐来支持这一倡议。例如，峨眉电影集团和四川省电影公司向医护人员赠送了“白衣天使礼品卡”，让他们可以任意选择100部电影免费观看。

四川省火锅协会的400多家餐厅还承诺让支援武汉的医护人员免费就餐一年。武汉是此次疫情的一大中心，也是教科文组织创意城市设计之都。此外，许多重要旅游景点已经决定在重新开放后对医护人员免费。

这项倡议受到当地居民的广泛欢迎和支持。多家企业纷纷加入这一行动，向成都医务工作者致敬。

The Creative City of Chengdu establishes free services for White Angels

A renowned city for its gastronomic inheritance and creativity in China, Chengdu joined the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in 2010 as a Creative City of Gastronomy. Cradle of Sichuan cuisine, one of the four references of Chinese cuisine, Chengdu is known for its cuisine, catering sector, and its extensive public participation in gastronomy. Each year, the city organizes many activities in this domain, such as the Chengdu International Food and Tourism Festival.

As a response to the recovery process to COVID-19, the city initiated “Free services for white angels” to pay respect and show the inhabitants’ appreciation for the selfless dedication and valuable work of doctors, nurses and medical staff in protecting the wellbeing and health of fellow inhabitants in the ongoing pandemic.

In this regard, local government has taken preferential policies and incentives to support medical personnel. In addition to salary hikes and others subsidies, the initiative also aims to provide medical staff free access to cultural activities. Various cultural sectors have also supported the initiative by providing free cultural experiences and comfort to medical workers. For instance, the Emei Film Group and Sichuan Provincial Film Company have created ‘White Angels Gift Card’ for medical staff to watch 100 movies of their choice for free.

More than 400 restaurants from the Sichuan Hot Pot Association have also committed to provide free meals for a year to all medical personnel who supported the city of Wuhan, the primary centre of the outbreak and a UNESCO Creative City of Design. Furthermore, many major tourist attractions have decided to provide free admission to medical personnel once operational.

The initiative is widely welcomed and supported by the local population. Several corporations and private enterprises are coming forward to join this initiative to highlight their appreciation and gratitude to the medical staff of Chengdu.
