Preface:
If you had to describe Han Hong in one word, how would you describe her?
Over the years, she has interpreted the word "kindness" with practical actions.
Whether it is the Wenchuan earthquake or the Wuhan epidemic, she will be the first to appear on the front line of disaster relief.
Just like her classic song "Lovely People", she uses sincerity to warm this society and help those who need it most.
However, in this materialistic society, it seems that "kindness" has become a nail in the eyes of some people, and it is necessary to get to the bottom of it and find out the "problem".
A report against her foundation for illegal acts caused her to encounter an unprecedented setback on the road to public welfare.
But Han Hong didn't back down.
She just held the microphone tightly in the show, and justified herself with red eyes and grievances.
The face that always showed a bright smile in front of the camera was full of unwillingness and helplessness at this time.
An epidemic and a flood have tested her kindness again and again.
However, she never gave up, and for 23 years, she was just to protect that pure land.
When the world becomes colder and colder because of interests and malice, we need such a warm sun even more.
encountered doubts, and justified himself with red eyes
At the beginning of 2020, the new crown epidemic broke out in Wuhan, and Han Hong donated 100 million yuan to fight the epidemic as soon as possible.
Regardless of her own safety, she personally led a team to Wuhan to deliver supplies and rescue.
But at the moment when she was full of kindness to save people, she encountered unprecedented doubts.
On February 13, Weibo big V "Sima Sanji" suddenly issued a real-name report of hundreds of words, accusing Han Hong Foundation of multiple illegal acts and suspecting that Han Hong had embezzled the foundation's donations.
This sudden questioning caught Han Hong, who was on the front line rescue, off guard.
She had to give up her rescue work and return to Beijing for investigation as soon as possible.
In those days, Han Hong was helpless and extremely anxious.
She knew that supplies in the disaster area needed to be transported urgently, and that if there was any further delay, her life could be in greater danger.
She couldn't sleep well every night, and the cries of patients in the Wuhan epidemic area echoed repeatedly in her mind.
She knew they were expecting the aid they had sent to arrive in time, but the investigation was a long one.
"I'm really, where can I get more than 100 million to go to me!" Han Hong later quipped helplessly.
As an ordinary citizen who sings to make ends meet, the amount of money she can come up with is already a strong spirit, and there is no secret foundation account to check.
Fortunately, the results of the investigation were soon released, proving that the Han Hong Foundation did not commit serious violations.
It is only that there are some omissions in the disclosure of some investment matters and fundraising qualifications, which need to be corrected within the time limit.
Even so, "Sima Sanji" still did not give up, and on the night the investigation results were announced, he grabbed an audit report from the Han Hong Foundation in 2018.
Notes such as "self-use" computers and printers appeared in the report, which made "Sima Sanji" even more convinced that Han Hong must have a problem.
He made up his mind to make this matter bigger, and he had to find out what the problem was.
Actually, the reason why Han Hong didn't respond is very simple.
Because she had just returned from a high-risk area in Wuhan, her physical condition was not optimistic, so she could only recuperate at home.
She is seriously ill, but she still has to face this sudden questioning, and the psychological pressure can be imagined.
"These people say that I have made more than 100 million for myself alone."
Three years later, Han Hong still remembers this questioning vividly.
She said puzzledly: "I'm really, where to get more than 100 million to me!" In the picture, her eyes were red, and she defended herself aggrievedly.
Coincidentally, during the time when the Han Hong Foundation was inspected, this "Sima Sanji" deliberately spoke up, questioning that Han Hong was not quarantined as required.
He played a label like "Han Hong is sick and refuses to be isolated", suggesting that she may become the source of virus transmission, causing netizens to soar.
All indications indicate that he is probably eyeing Han Hong, a good person, and wants to take the opportunity to profit from it.
This false accusation directly caused Han Hong's planned follow-up disaster relief work to be unable to carry out, leaving a large backlog of supplies that should have been delivered to the victims.
She had no choice but to choke up with red eyes and choked to try to justify herself, but in the face of cruel online violence, she had nothing to do for a while.
Witnessing tragedy as a child lays down a good character
Faced with the situation of being controlled by others, Han Hong once cried.
She couldn't figure out how she could still be treated like this when she loved the country and the people, and did good deeds to help the world for so many years.
In fact, Han Hong's kind character comes from her childhood experience.
In 1971, Han Hong was born in a Tibetan art family, her father was a famous cross talk actor, and her mother was a singer.
But when she was 6 years old, her father died in a work accident, and her mother also left her, entrusting her to live with her grandmother in Beijing.
Although life is poor, the days with my grandmother are very warm.
Grandma always tried her best to help those who were poorer than them, and enlightened the young Han Hong to do many good deeds.
Whenever Grandma sent some insignificant alms, those who received it always had tears of gratitude in their eyes.
"There is true love in the world, and we must believe in the power of love and goodness."
Grandma always said this to Han Hong.
This made Han Hong, who was originally disheartened by the loss of her parents, rekindle the spark of hope.
In 1999, the Maling River cable car crash made Han Hong's kindness sprout and blossom.
She witnessed the loss of 36 lives, and only one young child miraculously survived.
Looking at the child's confused and helpless eyes, Han Hong's heart was completely broken.
Her grandmother's words echoed in her head: believe in the power of love and kindness.
So she mustered up the courage and decided to adopt the orphan and named it "Han Houhou".
From the moment the adoption agreement was signed, Han Hong felt like she had regained the meaning of her life.
She decided to embark on a path of philanthropy and took on the mission of saving more lives.
Every time she helps others, she feels more satisfied than ever.
Perhaps, it was this compassionate, kind heart that made her constantly encounter ups and downs in her later life.
But Han Hong never regretted it, because her grandmother's words as a child have always been rooted in her heart: to believe in the power of love and kindness.
Wenchuan earthquake, take the lead
In 2008, when the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, Han Hong once again exerted her good deeds.
She donated 3.3 million yuan as soon as possible, and personally led the team to help the front line of the disaster area.
That's when she realized that the tragic situation reported on the TV news was far from what she saw with her own eyes.
Bloody corpses were everywhere, and the air was filled with the stench of decay.
The rescue team kept collecting the victims who were crushed beyond recognition, and the wails at the scene were heard one after another.
Han Hong saw a little girl sitting in the ruins, holding a bleeding female corpse in her arms, and calling for her mother in a hoarse voice.
It turned out to be her mother, who was reluctant to leave, just mechanically shaking her mother's horrific body.
But it is not so much a celebrity doing charity, but an ordinary volunteer.
Serving instant noodles, carrying supplies, carrying stretchers, acting as a medical staff, she does all the services herself.
On that delicate face, there is no trace of the squeamishness of a star.
In its place, there is tenacity to stand with the people.
"I've lived in vain in this life, and I don't want to mention all the things I did before."
After the Wenchuan earthquake, Han Hong told media reporters.
In the face of the disaster in her hometown, her heart was like a knife.
Maybe it was because she cared too much that she chose not to mention it, because the trauma caused to her during that time was too heavy.
In the Yushu earthquake in 2010, she also rushed to the front line as soon as possible.
That's when she knew what it meant to be fragile in life.
It took Han Hong and other rescuers several hours to get a pregnant woman buried in the rubble, but she died in childbirth soon after.
Another elderly man suddenly stopped beating during the rescue and died after rescue.
Faced with so many bereaved victims, Han Hong's heart was torn to pieces.
She is there where she is most in danger, and she lends a hand when she needs help.
She could no longer stay away from the catastrophe because life was too fragile and needed to be guarded by everyone.
Establish a foundation to do good more systematically
Having seen too much life and death, Han Hong was determined to do something.
In 2012, she finally established her own public welfare foundation.
She injected all her savings into it, and called on more friends in the entertainment industry to join in and gather a force for good.
Soon, it became one of the highest-rated and most transparent public welfare organizations in China.
With her own organization, Han Hong can plan and carry out public welfare programs more systematically.
For example, she has sponsored hundreds of children in difficult circumstances to prevent them from going astray.
One of the most heart-wrenching cases was a 10-year-old boy whose parents were drug addicts and locked him in his home for years without food or water.
Finally, during a police raid, the dying little boy was rescued.
Seeing his skinny body, Han Hong burst into tears.
Since then, she has started sponsoring these children to keep them away from domestic violence and have a normal study and life.
The act of kindness also allowed her to make a lot of like-minded friends.
During the anti-epidemic period in 2020, she immediately summoned a group of caring artists such as Wang Yibo to join the volunteer team, so that more donations and materials could be delivered to the disaster area.
A big boy like Wang Yibo usually seems cold, but once he puts on a volunteer costume, he becomes a little sun.
His ability to coax dolls is first-class, and he often amuses the affected children.
Zero-distance contact with pain, calling for the brightness of human nature
Over the years, Han Hong has been in close contact with grief and suffering.
She has seen the fragility of the loss of life, and she has also seen the strength of the victims.
There was once a family of five living in the same house, the father and the second son were buried, and the mother, eldest son and youngest daughter hung by a thread.
Han Hong knelt in front of the bed, holding the girl's cold hand and praying.
Eventually, the girl miraculously woke up, but soon the family received the sad news that their eldest son had been killed.
Such ups and downs made her even more eager to call for the light of humanity.
"I'm sure there will be someone to help anyone who is in dire need."
Because she has witnessed the commonality and interconnectedness of life, this beauty cannot be covered up by disasters.
In the Zhengzhou flood in 2021, she once again did not hesitate to go to the front line.
She'd seen too many lives that couldn't be saved while waiting for help, so she had to do everything she could this time.
According to statistics, her personal donation is as high as 40 million yuan, and the foundation fundraiser is as high as 1 billion yuan.
In those places that were most severely affected, Han Hong could always be seen.
One family was trapped on the first floor of a building, and the father was holding his two-month-old daughter and standing in front of the window and calling for help.
Han Hong tried to reach the baby three times and twice, and finally saved her at the last moment.
The father told Han Hong that his other three-year-old son was still trapped inside.
Han Hong once again mustered up the courage to rush into the water and finally rescued the unconscious little boy.
Seeing the two children return safely to their father's arms, Han Hong had mixed feelings in her heart.
She knows that life is so fragile, so we should cherish the people in front of us.
Epilogue:
Kindness should not be a sin.
How many natural and man-made disasters we need, what we need is not suspicion, but trust and encouragement.
Because we can't give any more support to those who are struggling with suffering.
As ordinary people, it is difficult for us to go to every place where we need help in person.
Fortunately, there are always lovely people in this world who are selfless and dedicated.
Han Hong held even a little warmth with both hands, which made this society more full of love.
Such good deeds deserve to be celebrated and disseminated, not speculated and doubted.
