Round Six

On last March 23, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion and Rhodes Scholar 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), through her 新浪微博 (Sina Wēibó) microblogging account, wanted to personally thank Russian-Israeli tycoon Yuri Borisovich Milner for his donation of ¥10 million 元 (yuán) to 北京 (Běijīng)’s 小米 (Xiǎomǐ) Charity Foundation amid coronavirus pandemic:

Thumbs up, boss 👍! While working for the Breakthrough Prize, I was fortunate to meet Yuri Borisovich Milner and his wife Julia, who established the Prize, and feel their concern for the Chinese people. At a critical juncture in the global pandemic, Yuri Borisovich does not forget his Chinese friends, thus hoping to praise the Chinese government and people for the efforts and sacrifices they made in the past few months to fight the epidemic and support resumption of work and production. A war without borders! Gens una sumus ❤️.
