Singer Han Hong took action to help Wuhan, the city at the center of the

coronavirus outbreak （冠状病毒爆发）Han Hong had planned to hold the first

concert of her 2020 national tour in Wuhan on February 29. But she called off the

show and called upon people to donate to the city. Soon over 2 billion yuan was donated through

Han Hong Love Charity Foundation which she founded in 2012.

“When you are going through a situation like this, you want to do anything you can to help.

There are so many kind people out there,” wrote a fan, who donated through Han’s foundation.

“it’s good to know that there are trucks with medical things going straight to the hospital. They are

badly needed.”

In 2008, Han held a charity performance for Wenchuan, Sichuan Province, after an

earthquake. That inspired her to found her foundation. Over the years, she has donated to people

in different disasters, including an earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai Province, in 2010, a huge

mudslide (泥石流) in Gansu Province and an earthquake in Yunnan Province in 2013.

“I almost spent all my savings. That’s what I want and what I can do,” Han said in an

interview on the online show, Opinion, in 2015. “many people don’t trust charity organizations to

use their donations properly. Charities are held at a higher standard and need to win people’s

trust.” The show also reported that Han had helped over 200 orphans(孤儿) since 1999.
