"This is not an ordinary comprehensive theatrical evening, nor is it a joint performance of many actors in the usual sense. There are no gorgeous and luxurious costumes for the show, nor are there any bejeweled earrings and chest ornaments.

However, the deep affection of the actors and actresses for the people in the disaster area, and the fiery emotional exchanges on and off the stage, from time to time made the audience sitting in front of the TV burst into tears and raised their seats.

This is not an ordinary creative collective, nor is it your average live TV broadcast. Hundreds of actors, 28 programs, nearly three hours of performance, from preparation to performance took only eight days, which is unprecedented on CCTV.

At the scene of the live broadcast party, a program based on real people and real stories was broadcast that was filmed by the film crew in the flood fighting and disaster relief front line for two years; the host reported from time to time the news of donating money and materials to the party from all over the country.

With a grand scale, majestic momentum, and touching and emotional programs, the whole party praised the spirit of the people in the disaster area to save themselves and rebuild their homes under the care of the Party Central Committee and the hard support of the People's Liberation Army; It praised the deep affection of the people of the whole country and Hong Kong and Macao compatriots to support the disaster area, and was full of heart-wrenching feelings from beginning to end, which truly made the audience feel "in the same boat through thick and thin, warm in the world".

.........................................

Zhao Benshan, a comedian who is loved by the people of the whole country, donated not only the 20,000 yuan to the disaster area this time, but also the heartfelt words full of true feelings: I am the son of a farmer, and it was my parents and villagers who raised me..... Zhao Benshan, who has made many viewers laugh, moved the audience to tears........

The 28 performances received applause, not only for the praise of the actors, but also for the gratitude of the people in the disaster area and the deep affection of the blood of the compatriots.

The "Together Through Thick and Thin, Warm World" Disaster Relief Gala was a success, raising more than 3 million yuan for the disaster area, which was praised by the audience and left us with more inspiration

..................................

Looking at the report on the People's Daily in his hand, Qiao Feng was a little speechless, he was the central father covering the whole country, whether it was the scale, the number of participants, or the influence far beyond Beiping TV.

But as a result, the amount of money raised was only a little more than twice that of Peking TV.

Not to mention being slapped in the face, at least it's a little humiliating.

It's strange that Daddy Yang didn't ban Liu Huan.

However, it can also be seen from here that the people's income is really not high, and the country is really poor.

Nearly 100 million people in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces were affected by the disaster, with direct economic losses of nearly 20 billion yuan and more than 2 million refugees left homeless.

To complete the disaster relief, at least more than 200 million US dollars and various materials and equipment are needed.

It would not be enough to say that the state could not come up with the money for disaster relief.

But what about after taking it out?

The country is so big, the population is so large, and it is the most important moment of reform and opening up, and money is needed everywhere.

The country is poor, and a fundraising party on CCTV only raised more than 3 million yuan, and the big star Zhao Benshan donated only 20,000 yuan.

This can be regarded as a lot of donations among celebrities.

Not a gap of more than two hundred million dollars means anything for the country.

Taking out so much money for disaster relief will inevitably reduce the investment in other aspects.

The impact is enormous.

And money is still secondary.

More importantly, all kinds of relief materials are in extreme shortage.

With the production capacity of the interior at this time, even if the country puts aside other aspects of development and grits its its teeth and comes up with money, there is simply no way to raise enough disaster relief materials in a short period of time.

Not even at this time, even thirty years later, in the face of the sudden Yiqing, as the world's factory, the country with the most complete manufacturing capacity in the world, will still fall into the dilemma of material shortage and have to seek international assistance.

Not to mention at this time.

Seeking international assistance is currently the only way to go.

"President Zhou, what do you mean?" Qiao Feng looked at the old man opposite and asked in a deep voice.

The old man Qiao Feng is no stranger, he is the Hong Kong bureau chief of the Xinhua News Agency who just took office last year, but Qiao Feng only saw his photos in the newspaper in the early years.

Like the Sino-British negotiations and the negotiations with Portugal to return to Macau, President Zhou often appeared in newspapers and television.

Later, after Qiao Feng became the boss of Ming Pao, he met President Zhou a few times when he visited Hong Kong or something, and chatted.

The newspaper was given to him by President Zhou, and Qiao Feng had some guesses about President Zhou's intentions, but he still had to listen to what the old man said to know for sure.

Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if you make a fuss.

After all, the Xinhua News Agency has a lot of functions and powers in Hong Kong, and President Zhou has served as vice foreign minister before, so he may not be able to find himself with other things.

"Mr. Joe's ......"

President Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, what he wanted to say was actually exactly what Qiao Feng thought, because the disaster was serious, the Central Committee held a meeting and decided to announce the disaster situation in East China to the international community and seek assistance.

For nearly 100 years, Hong Kong has been an important window for the mainland to the outside world.

As a window connecting the mainland and the world, whether Hong Kong's fundraising is good or not has a bearing on the effectiveness of the entire international aid.

So, President Zhou found Qiao Feng.

Because both the Central Committee and President Zhou himself believe that with Qiao Feng's energy and influence in Hong Kong, whether in the entertainment industry or the media circle, he is the most suitable person to help contact and operate disaster relief fundraising.

But after all, this is the first time in the history of Xinzhongguo that a large-scale and direct appeal for assistance from the international community has been encountered, and President Zhou always feels a little embarrassed when he asks others for help when he encounters something at home.

But President Zhou is a person who has worked in the diplomatic system for most of his life, and he can't wipe his face, which is just a matter of an instant.

Thinking of the people affected by the disaster in China, President Zhou didn't have time to think about anything else.

"Mr. Qiao just went to Su Province not long ago, which was hit by a catastrophic flood, and Mr. Qiao must know something about the disaster, and I know that Mr. Qiao has been paying attention to the disaster." President Zhou took a deep breath and said.

Qiao Feng nodded, he had seen the disaster in Su Province with his own eyes, and since he came back, the reporters of Wireless and Ming Pao have sent new reports about the disaster every day, and then they have appeared in the newspapers.

Not only him, but also the people of Hong Kong have a certain understanding of the disaster situation in East China.

There have even been calls to Wireless and Ming Pao to ask for ways to donate.

"Now, the central government has decided to seek humanitarian disaster relief assistance from the international community, and here in Hong Kong, Mr. Qiao has a huge influence, and we hope that Mr. Qiao will come forward to call on all sectors of society to donate money and materials to the disaster areas in East China." President Zhou asked very solemnly.

"No problem, it is incumbent upon me to help my compatriots in the motherland." Qiao Feng said it as a matter of course.

But then Qiao Feng changed his words: "It's just ....."

"Just what?" President Zhou was happy when he heard Qiao Feng agree, but he heard the words of the turn before he thought about it, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

"It's nothing, I just heard that because of the competition between the disaster relief charity performance and the CCTV disaster relief charity performance, the mainland singer Liu Huan was banned by CCTV. Qiao Feng said in a joking tone.

"Rumors, they must be rumors, they are completely imaginary, Mr. Qiao, don't worry."

Although Qiao Feng said it like a joke, President Zhou didn't dare to listen to it as a joke.Liu Huan was banned, this kind of thing is big and small, anyway, President Zhou will definitely not pay attention to this kind of thing.

But now that Qiao Feng has spoken, President Zhou believes that this must be the case.

But I can't admit it yet, because once I admit it, what will happen to the people who spread it out of Hong Kong.

Just like Qiao Feng said, it will be chilling.

President Zhou scolded to death in his heart for the people who did some bullshit, and he had to explain to Qiao Feng, and then after he went back, he would solve the matter of Liu Huan being banned.
