9月12日，第四届中国爱滋徒步在河北金山岭长城举办，活动吸引了近160名公益人参与其中。
徒步的过程中，来自江西伴艾骑行的骑行勇士，艾滋病病毒感染者刘九龙受邀参加了徒步过程中爱的拥抱环节，他今年刚刚结束了43天骑行，从南昌骑行至北京。在爱的拥抱环节很多人都上前给他一个大大的拥抱，支持他为艾滋病反歧视做出的工作。
【采访】我是经历了那种恐惧、绝望，当然我也遭受过歧视。但是我后来学会了正视自己的疾病，在我内心里来说我已经爬越了那座对自我歧视的那座长城。
同时出现在该环节的，还有今年勇敢报名的一位90后艾滋病病毒感染者小夫，希望通过自身阳光积极乐观的态度影响更多的人。【采访】今天是第一次参加爱滋徒步，发现这个世界其实挺暖的，大家也很愿意接受感染者，给我们一个爱的抱抱。
与往年相比，今年的活动新增了四个艾滋病知识问答点，希望更多的人能够通过这样寓教于乐的方式，在运动徒步过程中学习。不少人表示自己今天学习到了很多从来不知道的知识，也了解到艾滋病的防治过程在全球的进展。
本次爱滋徒步的筹款，除去成本将全部用于四川大凉山地区/艾滋病家庭中健康宝宝的奶粉救助上，也希望更多的人能够关注和帮助到他们。
截止到目前为止，爱滋徒步北京站的活动，共募集到10万余元，捐款活动仍在继续，截止日期为10月15日，希望更多的爱心人士参与其中，据悉， 9月20日爱滋徒步将前往山西太原，让我们共同期待。
On 12 September 2015, the Beijing leg of the fourth China AIDS Walk took place on the Jinshanling Great Wall. More than 150 walkers from different nationalities and communities took part in the hike to benefit children affected by HIV/AIDS in Daliangshan (Sichuan Province).
Liu Jiulong, an HIV-positive participant in the Jiangxi “Ride with AIDS” event, was a prominent China AIDS Walker. He just finished a 43-day bike ride from Nanjing to Beijing to raise HIV/AIDS awareness. During the walk, he held a “Free Hug” advocacy activity, giving away free hugs to all China AIDS Walkers and passers-by.
Liu Jiulong: “I experienced fear and despair, and of course I also encountered discrimination. Yet I learned to face up to my illness. I managed to conquer the Great Wall of self-discrimination that was enclosing my heart.”
Xiao Fu, a young HIV-positive person born in the 90s, also took part in giving away free hugs. He did it to influence others with his own positive, optimistic and sunny disposition.
Xiao Fu: “This is my first time participating in the China AIDS Walk. I now realize that this world is a warm place. Everybody here really accepts HIV-positive people, and they all want to give us a hug.”
On this year’s China AIDS Walk Beijing event, there were 4 HIV/AIDS knowledge stops. They enabled people to learn more about the progress of the global fight against HIV/AIDS in a playful fashion, and largely enriched the hike.
The 2015 China AIDS Walk hopes to bring more attention and care towards children affected by HIV/AIDS in Daliangshan (Sichuan Province). It raises funds to provide them with powdered milk.
After finishing the Beijing leg of its journey, the China AIDS Walk will go to Taiyuan (Shanxi Province) on 20 September. The China AIDS Walk has already raised more than 100.000 yuan renminbi for its cause. You can donate to the China AIDS Walk up until 15 October – every contribution counts, every voice counts, so please join us in our fight for love and care!
