Jerry Grey, a British cyber influencer, attended the event and did a signing for his charity riding photo album. Jerry has been living in Zhongshan for 20 years and engaging in charitable causes for long. In 2013, Jerry and his friend have traveled across China by bike. He put what he saw and heard into a photo album, 57 Days across China, hoping to present a true China to others.

Many special items are displayed at the Bokai booth, such as the eye-catching stainless steel bottle opener produced with 3D printing technology. This product is made by a mould company run by British businessman Gordon Styles. He hoped more residents and students could learn about this high-tech production technique through this charity bazaar. Popular items also included baseball-themed cultural products donated by Panda Sport and hand-painted postcards donated by artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
