On December 18, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, which has killed more than 100 people, collapsed many houses, interrupted water and electricity supply and transportation connections, and caused serious secondary disasters. In the face of the sudden disaster, the Chinese government quickly activated the disaster relief mechanism, and at the same time immediately received strong assistance from all sectors of society.
The China Charity Federation released a number of enterprises and individuals for the first time. Li Jiaqi donated 5 million yuan, and Three Sheep Group donated 12 million yuan for emergency rescue and follow-up recovery and reconstruction. In addition, Anta, Tencent, ByteDance, Hongxing Erke, Li Ning, Xtep and many other companies have announced that they will donate tens of millions of yuan in cash and disaster relief materials through charities for medical treatment, transitional resettlement, infrastructure repair and other work in the disaster area.
The kindness of these enterprises and individuals demonstrates the spirit of unity and mutual help of the Chinese people. When one side is in trouble, all sides support, and China's strength is invincible. In the face of sudden disasters, saving lives and helping the injured is the top priority. We have seen a number of companies act quickly, open warehouses to allocate materials, and send relief materials to the disaster area as soon as possible, which is admirable.
At the same time, the disaster relief donations also reflect the sense of social responsibility of enterprises and the public. It is the obligation of successful enterprises to return to society and care for the disadvantaged groups. Individual donations also show the kindness and humanity of ordinary people. It is this spirit that has brought us together to overcome the difficulties together.
At present, the rescue work in Jishishan County is still advancing, and the lives of the people in the disaster area have not yet fully returned to normal. We call on the community to continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the disaster area and provide assistance within its capacity. Let us go hand in hand, let the warmth into every family in the disaster area, and let the sunshine re-illuminate the hometown.
