During the flood season in May and June this year, floods occurred in 18 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and serious floods occurred in five provinces and autonomous regions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two provinces that suffered the most serious disasters and suffered the greatest losses were the flood-stricken provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu -- the Jianghuai River valley entered the plum rainy season one month ahead of schedule, with heavy rainfall in succession, with high intensity and long duration, and the rainfall in Changzhou and Xinghua in Jiangsu, Quanjiao in Anhui, and Wuhan in Hubei Province was close to or more than 100 years of rain in 30 days. According to statistics, more than 48 million people in Anhui Province, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the province's total population, died as a result of the disaster, affected more than 4.3 million hectares of crops, and lost nearly 7 billion yuan in direct economic losses. More than 42 million people, accounting for 62 percent of the province's total population, were affected by the disaster, 164 people died as a result of the disaster, 3 million hectares of crops were affected, and 9 billion yuan was directly lost in various fields.

Due to the large and widespread damage caused by the disaster, more than 2 million people have been left homeless, and the victims are suffering from intestinal diseases and malaria and other infectious diseases, and a large number of roads, bridges and other facilities are in urgent need of repair.

More than $200 million and various materials and equipment are needed to complete the above-mentioned disaster relief tasks alone.

Plus huge post-disaster reconstruction.

The amount of money required will be incalculable!

Chen Hong, Secretary-General of China's International Decade for Disaster Reduction Committee and Vice Minister of Civil Affairs, briefed Chinese and foreign journalists on the disaster situation at the press conference held in Beijing on 11 July, and on behalf of the Chinese Government, urgently appealed to relevant United Nations agencies, governments, international organizations, and all relevant parties of the international community to provide humanitarian relief assistance to the disaster-stricken areas in China's Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.

The 1991 flood in East China was a painful memory for many people in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces -- perhaps it was not as dangerous as the catastrophic flood of '98, but because of the lack of preparation (mainly inexperience) of local governments at all levels, coupled with the ineffective disaster relief, and many other reasons, the two provinces suffered heavy losses in this natural disaster.

Although he did not directly face the flood, he was trapped in Lianyungang and starved for a long time because of the flood, and he also saw a lot of family destruction and death, life and death because of the close proximity to the disaster area.

Therefore, at the first time of the press conference of the "Disaster Relief Emergency Appeal", Xu Cun donated one billion Hong Kong dollars to the disaster area - in fact, Xu Cun had already heard about this major flood, but Xu Cun could not take the initiative to help if they did not ask for help, and he was not a real philanthropist who took the common people of the world as his own responsibility.

In addition to directly donating 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Xu Cun also used all his connections to raise 200,000 tons of rice, 100,000 tons of white flour, hundreds of millions of cold, anti-inflammatory, and fever medicines, as well as tents, instant noodles, drinking water, compressed cakes, shoes, clothes, quilts, and other materials for the mainland within 10 days -- the total value of these materials also exceeded 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In other words, Xu Cun alone donated more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to the East China flood.

In addition to personal donations, Xu Cun also proposed that Wang Jing, Huang Baiming, and Gao Zhisen be the directors, and Zhou Yanfa, Cheng Long, Zhou Xingchi, Li Lianjie, Zhang Manyu, Zhong Chuhong, Lan Jieying, and Wang Guxian should be the male and female protagonists, and prepare to make an all-star movie, and all the box office money earned will be donated to the East China flood.

Led by Xu Cun, on the second day of the press conference in Beijing, Hong Kong Governor Wilson wanted to take this opportunity to mend relations with the mainland, and approved an aid proposal proposed by the Financial Secretary, agreeing to allocate 100 million Hong Kong dollars to help the disaster areas in East China (in the previous life, it was 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but in this life, under Xu Cun's generosity, 50 million is really not enough, so the British government in Hong Kong changed to 100 million Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, the British government of Hong Kong took the initiative to contact the Xinhua News Agency Xiangjiang Branch, the highest office in the mainland, and the two sides reached a consensus after only ten minutes of exchanges, that the British government of Hong Kong would set up a disaster relief fundraising office to collect donations from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

The red-roofed businessman Huo Yingdong took the lead in donating 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the Disaster Relief Fundraising Office, Li Jiacheng was a little later than him, but he also announced a donation of 100 million Hong Kong dollars the next day, Dong Jianhua donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars, Lee Shau Kee donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars, the Kwok brothers donated 40 million Hong Kong dollars, Zheng Yutong donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and Hui Shixun donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars......

Different from the previous life, this life also killed two donation forces that are no less than or even faintly surpass the business community of Xiangjiang.

One of these two donations is that under the suggestion of Xu Cun, a group of stars in Xiangjiang, popular first-line male stars such as Zhou Yunfa, Cheng Long, Zhou Xingchi, Li Lianjie, and popular first-line male singers such as Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin each donated 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and quasi-first-line popular stars such as Hong Jinbao, Liang Jiahui, and Xu Guanjie, as well as quasi-first-line male stars such as Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Guo Fucheng, and Li Ming, donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars each, Yang Ziqiong, Zhang Manyu, Anita Mui, Lin Qingxia and other popular first-line female stars and female singers each donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and so on......

(Celebrities don't want to donate, under this suggestion, Xu Cun also has two additional mentions, first, the donation process is broadcast live on Phoenix Channel, which can accumulate popularity for the donation stars in the mainland, second, DreamWorks will use the number of donations from the stars as a reference for the star's salary, in other words, this donation is, to a certain extent, a level for the star, in addition, the star itself is not strong enough, and it is impossible to donate more.) ）

Another donation force is Xu Cun's women - Xu Cun did not let his women donate because he donated more than 2 billion, on the contrary, Xu Cun also encouraged them to donate, and as a result, the least of them also donated 5 million Hong Kong dollars, with a total donation of 700 million Hong Kong dollars, even more than the business community and celebrities in Xiangjiang.

In just 10 days, the total amount of funds raised for disaster relief in Hong Kong has reached more than HK$2 billion.

This is not counting the more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars donated by Xu Cun - the more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars donated by Xu Cun did not go through the disaster relief fundraising office, but were directly donated to the disaster areas in East China.

It's not the box office of disaster relief movies - unlike the shoddy "Rich Night Banquet" in the previous life, in this life, Xu Cun gave a death order, and the box office of disaster relief movies is not used for disaster relief but for helping the disaster area rebuild, so don't rush to make it, you must be worthy of the time of the stars and the money of the audience!

In the past 10 days, the United Nations has received donations totaling more than 50 million yuan from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, New Zealand, and other countries, and Taiwan's donations to the disaster-stricken areas in East China have exceeded US$3 million, and Macao's donations have exceeded MOP20 million......

These donations are actually not small, but compared with Xiangjiang with Xu's existence, they were immediately compared!
