The event, held at PHKL’s auditorium, was officiated by Ms. Erica Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, and Mr. Daniel Kaeflein, General Manager of Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, alongside corporate partners, medical professionals, and members of the media.

“When we began this journey, our goal was simple, which is to make life-saving cardiac care accessible to children born with congenital heart disease. I still remember Dr Laura and our team travelling across states, conducting awareness talks, and building connections with NGOs. Those early efforts laid the foundation for the impact we see today, children who can now laugh, play, and dream like any other child,” said Ms. Erica Lam, CEO of Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur’s Embrace the Gift of Life programme began in 1985 as the hotel’s annual charity initiative. It wasn’t until 2024 that the partnership with PHKL was formed, sparked by the arrival of Dr Siti Laura Mazlan, a dedicated paediatric cardiothoracic surgeon whose expertise laid the groundwork for this meaningful collaboration.

Since May 2024, a total of 10 children have received life-saving paediatric cardiac surgeries through this partnership. In 2025 alone, 7 children have been supported by PHKL and Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.

Through this partnership, RM329,035.90 was raised by Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, fully funding eight life-saving surgeries between January 2025 and September 2025. These procedures, often not covered by insurance due to financial constraints, are made possible through PHKL’s specially designed paediatric cardiac surgical packages.

“This initiative goes beyond fundraising, it is about giving children the future they deserve. We are deeply grateful to our guests and supporters who continue to make this journey possible,” said Mr. Daniel Kaeflein, General Manager of Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.

During the event, guests were moved by a touching video highlighting the journey of PHKL–Shangri-La patients, followed by a mock cheque presentation and the unveiling of the “Embrace the Gift of Life 2025” ornaments, symbolising hope and resilience.

Mr. Daniel Kaeflein, General Manager of Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, and Dr. Siti Laura Mazlan, Consultant Paediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon, visiting 13-year-old patient Muhammad Akif Amsyar bin Md Amri and his family in the ward. The family had travelled from Terengganu for Akif’s life-saving heart surgery.

Adding a deeply human touch to the day, the teams from PHKL and Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur paid a special visit to 13-year-old Muhammad Akif Amsyar bin Md Amri and his family, who had travelled from Terengganu for Akif’s life-saving heart surgery. He is currently recovering well in the ward following his successful surgery on 18 October 2025.

“We are very grateful to receive this opportunity and would like to thank Dr Siti Laura and Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur for their contribution. We are excited to see Akif’s recovery progress and his return to his active lifestyle at school,” commented Puan Suzie, Mother of Akif Amsyar.

The hospital also acknowledged the dedication of its medical team, led by Dr Siti Laura, primary paediatric cardiothoracic surgeon at PHKL, whose expertise and compassion has been instrumental in treating young patients with complex heart conditions and have brought hope to families throughout Semenanjung Malaysia and as far as Sabah.

The event concluded with a visit to Shangri-La’s sponsored patients, reinforcing the initiative’s purpose to embrace the gift of life and heal little hearts together.

From creating access to critical care, to embracing community partnerships that matter, this initiative is a reflection of PHKL’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement, core values that continue to guide the hospital’s purpose beyond its walls.

With every heartbeat restored, PHKL and Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur reaffirm that healthcare is not just about treatment — it’s about compassion, continuity, and creating a better future for the next generation.

WiMi Researches a Blockchain Privacy Protection System Based on Post-Quantum Threshold Algorithm

By

-

BEIJING, Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that they are exploring a blockchain privacy protection system based on post-quantum threshold algorithms, aiming to build a blockchain ecosystem that is both secure and efficient.

The core of blockchain is its chain-like data structure, where each block contains three components: transaction data, a timestamp, and the hash of the previous block. This design ensures data integrity and immutability because any modification to the data would change its hash, thereby breaking the continuity of the chain. In blockchain, asymmetric encryption algorithms (such as RSA and ECC) are widely used for data encryption and digital signatures. These algorithms are based on complex mathematical problems, such as large number factorization and discrete logarithms, ensuring the authenticity of transactions and the confidentiality of data. However, the security of these algorithms relies on computational complexity, and the advent of quantum computers, particularly with advancements in quantum parallel computing, poses a risk to the security foundation of these algorithms.

Post-quantum cryptography, as a solution to the threats posed by quantum computing, aims to develop cryptographic algorithms that can withstand quantum attacks. These algorithms include new mathematical constructions such as lattice-based structures, hash functions, and multilinear mappings, which do not rely on the difficult assumptions used in traditional cryptography. As a result, they can maintain security even in a quantum environment. However, the application of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms is not straightforward; they need to meet the requirements of blockchain systems for efficiency, scalability, and decentralization while maintaining security.

Threshold key sharing technology, as a distributed key management strategy, splits a private key into multiple parts and allocates them to different participants. Only when a sufficient number of participants cooperate can the complete private key be reconstructed, enabling decryption or signing operations. This mechanism not only reduces the risks associated with centralized private key management but also enhances the system’s fault tolerance and security. However, applying threshold key sharing technology to blockchain systems presents several technical challenges, such as ensuring trust and cooperation among nodes, preventing attacks from malicious nodes, and maintaining the system’s scalability.

WiMi’s blockchain privacy protection system, based on post-quantum threshold algorithms, provides a comprehensive security solution for blockchain systems through the deep integration of post-quantum cryptography and threshold key sharing technology. The main technical features of the system include:

Post-Quantum Security: The system uses post-quantum encryption algorithms to ensure that data remains effectively protected even with the widespread use of quantum computers. The security of these algorithms is based on mathematical problems that are difficult for quantum computers to solve, thereby maintaining robust security in a quantum environment.

Distributed Key Management and Fault Tolerance: Through threshold key sharing technology, the system distributes private keys across multiple consensus nodes. The leakage of a single node’s private key will not compromise the security of the entire system. This distributed key management mechanism not only reduces the risks associated with centralized private key management but also enhances the system’s fault tolerance. Even if some nodes are attacked or fail, the system can still operate normally, ensuring the integrity and security of the data.

Flexible Data Authorization and Access Control: The system employs a threshold-based data authorization mechanism. When users request data access permissions from consensus nodes, they must meet certain threshold conditions (e.g., a specific number of nodes must agree). This mechanism ensures controlled access to data while preventing permission abuse caused by single points of failure. Additionally, the system offers fine-grained access control policies, allowing users to set different access permissions and conditions based on their specific needs.

Efficiency and Scalability: The system design takes into account the high concurrency and scalability requirements of blockchain. By optimizing the consensus algorithm and data processing workflows, the system can achieve efficient data processing and transaction confirmation while maintaining security. Furthermore, the system supports dynamic scalability, allowing the addition of new consensus nodes and data storage nodes as needed, thus meeting the demands of large-scale applications.

Smart Contracts and Decentralized Applications: The system supports the deployment and execution of smart contracts, enabling users to create custom contract logic and rules. The introduction of smart contracts not only enriches the functionality and application scenarios of the system but also promotes the rapid development of decentralized applications. Through smart contracts, users can automate transactions and other applications, further driving the innovation and adoption of blockchain technology.

The blockchain privacy protection system based on post-quantum threshold algorithms, explored by WiMi, not only addresses the security risks of traditional encryption algorithms in the quantum era but also further enhances the security and flexibility of blockchain systems through features such as distributed key management, flexible data authorization and access control, and smart contracts with decentralized applications. As the technology continues to mature and improve, we believe it will play an increasingly important role in protecting user privacy, promoting secure data sharing, and driving blockchain technology innovation and applications. In the future, with the continuous development of quantum computing technology and the widespread adoption of blockchain technology, blockchain privacy protection systems based on post-quantum threshold algorithms will become a significant research direction and development trend in the blockchain field.

“Our power battery packs are built for reliability and versatility, with a cycle life that is 20% longer than comparable products,” said Lin Yong, General Manager of Zoomlion New Energy Technology Development Co., Ltd. “They have been successfully implemented in new energy buses and construction machinery, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.”

In addition to the battery milestone, Zoomlion also introduced a new matrix of key new energy components, spanning lithium power, electric drive systems, and hydrogen energy. This launch reflects the company’s “full-stack innovation, full-scenario compatibility” strategy.

In lithium battery solutions, Zoomlion launched three major series: the “Xiaoyun” hybrid-agriculture pack with full spectrum compatibility and -40°C to 60°C temperature range; the “Standard Box” series supporting 140–800kWh flexible expansion, already tested across over 2.6 million kilometers of commercial operation; and the “Mining” series, designed with robust structural safety and in-house management systems tailored to demanding mine environments.

The electric drive suite introduced includes high-efficiency, high-density motor and control systems such as the 120kW reluctance flat-wire motor, 300kW dual-module main drive controller, and a 700kW electric mining truck powertrain. At the heart of this ecosystem is a newly unveiled domain control platform powered by a six-core chip capable of over 1,000 dynamic adjustments per second, enabling seamless multi-domain control across the full range of electric machinery.

Zoomlion also introduced a full-range hydrogen solution covering production, refueling, and usage. The system includes compact electrolyzers, its first high-pressure refueling station, and a 300kW fuel cell power unit, offering new low-carbon options for transportation and energy sectors.

The milestone rollout and the new component launch signal Zoomlion’s continued drive for innovation, advancing industry’s transformation through core technologies.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 October 2025 – The consumption season of the 2025 Beijing Chaoyang International Light Festival is now underway, transforming the capital’s nights with a dazzling array of experiences.

Running through the end of October under the theme “Together! We Shine!”, the event contributes to Beijing’s development as an international consumption hub by offering nearly 400 integrated cultural, commercial, tourism, and sports events. These range from large-scale, tech-driven spectacles like a light show parade and illuminated water tours to diverse public activities.

Centered on the Liangma River Cultural and Economic Belt and Beijing Olympic Center, the festival offers a glimpse into just how trendy and technologically dazzling a Beijing night can become, witnessed firsthand by Liu Zhengxi, an international expert from Egypt at the China International Communications Group, as he explores the city’s most technologically advanced and artistically rich nocturnal landscapes.

The Shell Theater, Beijing’s first open-air performance space over water, dazzles with a dynamic interplay of light and water. Adding to the marvel is Beijing’s first floating stage on water, which Liu described as reminiscent of a scene from a sci-fi film.

Invited for a boat tour, Liu found Beijing’s vibrant nightscape, transformed by cutting-edge light art installations, nothing short of spectacular. A truly magical moment followed as a singer appeared, performing afloat on the water. Hao Yangchun, a project planner for the consumption season, explained that it is a floating performance by a Dutch artist, where the singer delivers arias by Mozart and Puccini, gently propelled by attendants in the water.

The immersive experience extended from Pop Land, China’s first themed park dedicated to copyrighted designer toys in Chaoyang Park, to a vibrant food festival at the Olympic Forest Park branch venue. There, Liu sampled local delicacies, enjoyed live music, and immersed himself in the relaxed and vibrant atmosphere of Beijing’s nightlife.

Despite the evening chill, a palpable warmth permeated the event, radiating not only from the stunning illuminations but also from the deep cultural resonance of the light festival, which masterfully bridges ancient and modern culture, offering joy and inspiration to all attendees.
