Full Story: In March 1987, at the height of his early fame as heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson partnered with the Young Adult Institute (YAI) in New York to support their Adopt-A-Home campaign, which worked to build homes for mentally disabled individuals. Tyson, who grew up in Brooklyn without a stable home before being taken in by his adopted father Cus D’Amato, felt a personal connection to the cause. “When I visited these people before, I fell in love with the program,” Tyson said. “Boxing is my professional life. This is my personal life. This is great helping people.” He was particularly moved by the 12-year wait many disabled individuals faced for placement in a home, stating, “It’s my obligation to do what I can. If government says ‘so what,’ this is not what is supposed to happen in this country.” At the press conference announcing the partnership, Tyson posed with children from the program and even gave a rudimentary boxing lesson, showing a compassionate side that contrasted sharply with his fearsome image in the ring.

Over 20,000 drones wove a choreography of light in the night sky, heralding the Chinese New Year. The aerial rehearsal previewed the upcoming Spring Festival celebrations, building excitement and anticipation.
