At the same time, the Chinese people also raised funds for the disaster area, and another slogan at that time was "one side is in trouble, all sides support", and the family was not rich at that time, but like all families, they donated money and materials to the disaster area.

Outside the mainland of China, the Hong Kong Governor's compatriots, who experienced the financial turmoil of '97 and ended in '98, but with the help of mysterious funds, won a big victory and donated 180 million yuan, followed by 100 million Taiwan dollars and 80 million Singapore dollars.

"ZG Investment Company" donated 300 million Franklin to the Xingchen Charity Foundation, Luo Tiancheng composed the song "Together Through the Storm" in the way of mysterious Luo, and the stars sang, and all the funds obtained were used for earthquake relief, and the Liu's Group donated 200 million Franklin to the Xingchen Charity Foundation alone, and then mobilized the Chinese in the United States to donate nearly 100 million Franklin.

Now the Chinese people donate or recognize a certain word of the Chinese government, but the Xingchen Charity Foundation has received donations of more than 7 billion RMB, because the Xingchen Charity Foundation uses all transparent methods, and the way used by the Xingchen Charity Foundation is all *******, slowly foreign people and enterprises have put money into the Xingchen Charity Foundation, no one is ******.

Huaguo, which was supposed to *******, lost ***** in this time, which basically belonged to remote mountainous areas, and those who did not come to notify the evacuees or were accidentally swept into it.

With the use of funds from the Star Charitable Foundation, post-war reconstruction work has begun.
