WINDHOEK, July 19 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese artist collaborated with three artists from Namibia for a song aimed at helping decrease gender-based violence worldwide.

The song, titled "The Gender-Based Violence Song," features Chinese artist Geng Shudong and Zulu Boy, Chezlam and Lilianah from Namibia.

Geng said working with Namibian artists was a huge privilege for him.

"The reason why I decided to partake on this project is because I don't like it when people abuse each other," Geng said.

Geng came to Namibia two years ago. He is working as a water meter engineer.

Zulu Boy said the song serves as a wake-up call to those who abuse others. Zulu Boy is excited to feature a Chinese national for the time.

"I met Geng on social media. We exchanged contact cellphone numbers. A few weeks later we met up and teamed up for the project. I loved working with him because we both don't condone abuse. While working with him I have learned a lot about the Chinese culture and China. This project was a lot of fun," he said.

Zulu Boy urges artists world wide to start working with each other. According to him, this will better the world.

"Teaming up with another national is the prefect platform to learn about other people and their countries. Let's team up and create a beautiful world," he said.
