ASUS has always upheld the concept of "towards technological innovation and social responsibility". In 2009, it joined hands with the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Youth League to launch the "ASUS e-Volunteer Project". Since 2018, ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good has established the "ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Project", encouraging young people to engage in public welfare through video creation and expression. In 2021, the BJIFF ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Section was launched in collaboration with the BJIFF, bringing together young talents in video creation and providing a better platform for them. So far, the project has covered over 30 key cities and more than 1,000 colleges and universities and impacted over 80 million people.
In 2022, the BJIFF ASUS e-Volunteer Social Good Video Section collaborated with over a hundred colleges and universities including Beijing Film Academy, the Communication University of China, the Hebei Institute of Communications, Yunnan Arts University, and the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Nearly a thousand young creators submitted over 560 original social good short films under the themes of "Technology, Creativity", "Warmth, Fulfillment", and "Dimension, Breakthrough". 
In 2023, we continue to aim to convey warmth and care through social good videos, and we welcome those who are passionate about social good videos to join this event. This year, our focus will be on "hometown cultural tourism", and more young creators are welcome to speak up for their hometowns and give back with love.
 
 
▍Theme: "Shine, Youngsters! Shine, Hometown!"
For many college students, going to college means their first time leaving hometown and coming to a strange city. However, their roots are still deeply embedded in their hometowns, and the familiar accents and hometown delicacies at school can evoke deep nostalgia.
We hope that you can use your camera to showcase the natural landscapes, historic culture, ethnic customs, intangible cultural heritage, culinary culture, and any unforgettable memories about your hometown. Let more people see and understand your hometown.
