Michael Jackson’s Chinese fan club held a bicycling event around the capital last Saturday to commemorate the first anniversary of the King of Pop’s death and spread Jackson’s dream of healing heal the world.
“Heal the World” blasted from a mini-boom box attached to a bicycle early that morning in front of Xidan Joy City. Thirty fans gathered for the one-day green biking trip. Some wore Jackson T-shirts, others wore crystal gloves or black hats.
The cyclists carried boards with environmental protection slogans as they rode from Xidan to Sanlitun to Wangfujing before ending at Houhai.
The cyclists were members of the Michael Jackson Love Club, a subdivision of Beijing’s largest Jackson fan community.
“They came together because of Jackson. They stay together because they want to be people who love our environment and help the children,” said Chen Yang, the 30-something leader of the club.
