Halo, I am Long Kuan, and you are watching Supreme Master Television.

Greetings, cheerful viewers and friends! We welcome you back on Vegetarian Elite for the second part of “The Queen of Lohas, Long Kuan.” Last week, we spent some time getting to know the well-acclaimed vegan singer-songwriter and designer…

Lohas in Chinese means “happy and lively.” In English it means “Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability.” “Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability.”

her quest to save the planet…

Around New Year of 2008, I traveled to Europe. During the trip, I heard news that global warming is getting more and more serious and the Arctic ice is going to melt very soon. So I decided to devote the year 2008 to sharing this news and to help save the Earth.

and how she is creating positive changes wherever she goes.

As for our first VIP today, she is not a politician, nor has any mission to accomplish, but she has already made environmental protection part of her daily life. Let us welcome singer Long Kuan.

Today, Long Kuan shares with us the lofty inspirations for her music and eco-fashion designs.

Our sweet animals friends
Be it on land, on air, or in the sea
They should be loved, protected, and cherished,
just like the life that we so wish

Halo! I’m Tian Yuan. I am also a vegetarian and a Buddhist. I think Long is such a person who tries very hard to promote vegetarianism and environmental protection with the influence she has on the public.

I think we should have more people like her. I also have been slowly learning how to tell people to be vegetarian and to protect the environment. Actually many fans of mine who are close to me, and people who like me, have also slowly begun to accept the vegetarian diet.

Halo! I’m Zhang Ya-Dong. I am a music producer. [Long Kuan] always hopes that music can be a part of her life. I actually appreciate her music very much and what she tries to express. I think it is really wonderful! I hope she will live a Lohas life forever.

Since the start of her campaign to raise awareness about climate change, Long Kuan continues to receive overwhelming support from the public, especially from young fans. International media such as BBC and a Hollywood film crew also reported on her unique leading role as an artist in animal welfare and eco-endeavors in China.

Every day, I have miraculous encounters. Every day there are people leaving messages on my blog, or telling me through various ways, “Oh! After I heard what you said, I’ve decided to become a vegetarian.” Or after me on television or hearing a related sentence somewhere that I spoke, they quickly changed and said,“I have decided to become a vegetarian from now on.” Moreover, I have also influenced my colleagues around me. There are many examples like these. After realizing miracles really happen everyday, I have become more and more confident.

Dearest Heaven, Dear Lord of Karma
Please do love and care for all creatures
For it breaks my heart to see their plight.
I cannot bear to see them suffer

In the Chinese music business, Long Kuan has the nickname of “music bluestocking.”

She is often referred to as a poster child for young Chinese musicians who are insightful, creative, and who choose to express their visions not only through music but also in other areas of their lives. In addition to learning about her music and dreams of a dawning Golden Age on Earth, Long Kuan tells us the stories that inspire her fashion designs. She happily models her most favorite pieces especially for us.

What you are seeing now is what I made when I first decided to design clothes. My clothes all have a unique characteristic: they stick out like this. So they look more… Probably I have this kind of personality, and I always walk like this. This piece looks similar to the one I’m wearing right now. A small difference is that this rabbit is puffy, but the rabbit on my clothes is actually a pocket. Like this piece, it’s actually from a game that we made. The door of this house can be opened. Now I’ll give you three seconds to guess what’s inside… Wow! It’s a PooBabe.

This one is my favorite because it’s one of my favorite scenes in my game. This castle was drawn by me. It’s an imaginary place. If you play this game, you’ll find a little character in the game, and in the end he’ll climb up to the top of the castle and fly to the moon. I always wear this piece during my favorite shows. This is my newest design.

We’ll be back in just a moment to learn why Long Kuan personally hand stitches her designs before they are sent to you.

Welcome back to Vegetarian Elite and the concluding half of our two-part special on “The Lohas Queen, Long Kuan.” Long Kuan cleverly chooses what she wears to publicity events and concerts. She makes sure that even her clothing can arouse curiosity in her promotion of vegetarianism and environmental awareness.

There is a song named “Wake Up My Love,” in which there is a passage: “Do you know why there are rainbows hanging in the blue sky over Earth?” Putting such a big character, “Veg,” on the clothes is also my idea. I always wear this piece to very important events. So when people see this character “Veg,” they would ask in curiosity: “Why did you put such a big character on your clothes?”

Then I would have a chance to explain to them that our Earth is now facing the crisis of global warming, and why we have to eat vegetarian as much as we can to help the Earth survive this crisis. When people see this character and ask me such a question, they will have an opportunity to receive this kind of information, and maybe after they go home they will have a chance to make some changes in their lives. So this piece of clothing is quite useful. I made two pieces of the same design because we found many fun materials and we couldn’t bear to throw any one of them away, so we ended up making many pieces.

What you’re seeing now is my signature “Veg” character, because I post her on all sorts of spots. These two bags were both sewn by me. To me, sewing these things is just like painting or making clothes, because I didn’t have much experience before. Since I was little, I was the kind of person who didn’t know how to sew a button when it fell off.

Though she’s never been much of a seamstress, Long Kuan personally puts the loving finishing touches on her bag designs hoping to uplift whoever receives her items.

Now I’ve put these two items in my store, my online store. If you like it, you can order it. And then I’ll meticulously sew it stitch by stitch at home and mail it to you. To me, the biggest significance of my clothes is that while I’m sewing the bags, I would put in my love, my wishes for you, and many, many of my wishes for the planet. When you receive it, you will also find some very important materials I’ll send with the bag, along with a booklet that I designed entitled “PooBabe Saves the Planet” – a handbook on vegetarianism and environmental protection.

Long Kuan explains why vibrant colors are the signature of her artistic creations, while reminding us to live our childhood dreams of being superheroes.

The theme of this piece is “Don’t eat your friends.” You can see, it has a piglet, a chick, and a calf. People are wearing too much dark clothing. While walking on the streets, we see dark clothes everywhere. What we need more are brighter and more colorful clothes. We’ll feel very joyful when we see these colors. That’s why I chose bright pink and bright green for this piece of clothing. This is very fun. I wonder if you can tell that it was my dream when I was a very, very little girl. This little girl may have already had a hunch in her mind, that she came to this world to live happily and be a queen. So she grew up with this idea and became the way she is right now.

To make the slogan not look too serious, I’ve turn them into three circles. We only need to do three things to protect the planet: first, be a vegan, second, protect the environment, and third, share the energy of love. In fact, this is the most popular piece because many people like Superman. When people were little, they would always identify themselves as heroes, and it seems they represent a very important wish in their minds.

But as they grow up, perhaps people slowly forget about the wishes and ideas they had when they were children. I think these three phrases can remind people that we all have extraordinary power inside us. “I am the Queen of Lohas I have a big basket full of treasures.”

Dearest Heaven, Dear Lord of Karma
Please do love and care for all creatures
For it breaks my heart to see their plight
I cannot bear to see them suffer
There’re plenty places in Heaven above
Take them all up, and give them love
This is my little prayer for all beings:
Dearest Heaven, Dear Lord of Karma
Please do love and care for all creatures
For it breaks my heart to see their plight
I cannot bear to see them suffer
There’re plenty places in Heaven above
Take them all up, and give them love
This is my little prayer for all beings:

Just a little bit of your Love and Compassion
May all be well, live and let live.
May all enjoy Divine love, care, and forgiveness

Even if only one person hears this song and receives the loving energy, which is not from me but from the highest place in the universe, the loving energy will change his/her life in some way, and might even have them adopt a better way of living. I would think it’s a very, very wonderful change since every person is closely connected to the universe, and the whole planet will change to a different planet due to the changes in this one person.

To conclude with the simplest sentence, I wish everyone will “Be Veg, Go Green, Save the Planet.” I hope everyone can switch to a vegetarian lifestyle. I hope everyone can cultivate the habit of environmental protection. What I hope most is that everyone can rediscover the loving energy in their hearts.

We send a big hug to the Lohas Queen herself, Long Kuan. Thank you for being such a bright and noble example, and using your God-granted talents to inspire hopeful changes in our world. And to our precious viewers, it’s been a great pleasure to have your company on Vegetarian Elite. Please stay with us for Between Master and Disciples, here on Supreme Master Television. May we forever treasure all lives that we are so honored to share the planet with.
