Chinese Actor Li Xian and His Fans Playing an Unexpected Role against the Coronavirus
From the initial promotion of idols’ charity activities to voluntarily organize a variety of supportings in the name of idols, Fans Charity has been emerging into a powerful force. With its great potential in public welfare projects, Fans Charity has already refreshed the public’s cognition.
Actor Li Xian, as a positive-energied idol, and his fans, showed positive impacts on society in the face of an outbreak of new coronavirus in Hubei province.
On the morning of January 29, Li Xian, ambassador of China Youth Devlopment Foundation, donated 200,000 yuan to the foundation. Under the leadership of the role model, his fans spontaneously launched a public fundraising activity “Donate together with Idol Li” to the foundation’s “Fight against the Epidemic – Project Hope Special Action” through the Blog Public Welfare Platform of Sina Weibo.
In just 30 hours, more than 9,000 people have donated more than 190,000 yuan. As of 2 p.m. on January 29, BJT, Li’s fans had spontaneously set up a charity organization for their idols, or conducted public welfare activities in the name of their idols. Over 1.1 million yuan of donations and materials have been raised (according to incomplete statistics).
The Teletubbies (Li Xian’s fans code name) generate electricity for love, with great public enthusiasm, delivering warmth and responsibility to the society.
Like Li’s fans, all the girls in “fans circle” believe that love with no size and public welfare without name. The more emergency arise, the more need for calm, humanity, and unity. We are fans of the idol, but more fans of “Brother China(fans take the country as their beloved brother)”. Come on, Wuhan! Come on, Hubei! Come on, China!
