After the earthquake in Gansu, Internet celebrities, celebrities and entrepreneurs from all walks of life are offering love, reflecting the great love of the world and making the people in the disaster area feel the warmth of the big family.
Donations, the act itself, have been the subject of widespread controversy. Especially in the online environment, the controversy is becoming more and more intense. Many people like to force others to donate, or publicly accuse others of giving too little, which is really inappropriate and even unethical.
It's the same for donating to Gansu this time, not to mention which companies and celebrities are involved, I believe you have also seen it, people donated 12 million, 5 million, netizens actually accused them of donating too little, thinking that the money was given by fans, and even thought that the donation could be tax deductible......
In fact, as long as you donate, it's all good, too much discussion will make love taste, who will dare to donate in the future?
But in the process of this donation, there is an Internet celebrity who has gained general favor, that is, Bai Bing, a well-known food Internet celebrity blogger, who eats very luxuriously and makes generous donations, and this time he is even more attentive.
Because I learned through local friends in Gansu that the most lacking in the disaster area is warm materials and food, so I mobilized materials overnight through various channels and resources, and there are several details worth paying attention to:
1. Knowing that the locals don't eat ordinary beef instant noodles, they only eat instant noodles with halal, so they managed to raise 80,000 barrels of halal instant noodles;
2. Knowing that local women lack physiological hygiene products, they specially prepared a large number of brand sanitary napkins;
3. Prepare a large number of quilts, and also take into account the lack of warm clothes for local children, but now the supply of down jackets in the market is tight, and in desperation, I directly contacted the big-name down jacket Gao Fan, and the other party said that it was impossible to raise 5,000 pieces in a short time, but Bai Bing asked the other party to find a way to prepare 5,000 pieces of down jackets to send over.
Seeing this scene, many netizens were not calm, and praised Bai Bing, thinking that this Internet celebrity seems to have a sense of distance, but in fact it is very warm-hearted, and the three views are very positive.
The most important thing is that many netizens said that the brand's down jackets are very high-end, a piece is thousands of yuan, two or three thousand yuan a piece is the norm, even children's down jackets are thousands of yuan, ordinary people can't afford to wear them, and ordinary parents are reluctant to buy them for their children.
Some people also said that they had bought this brand of down jacket for their families, but they were reluctant to buy it when it was their turn, because the price was too expensive, and they didn't expect Bai Bing to go out for the children in the disaster area.
Some people are even worried that after such a valuable down jacket is delivered to the disaster area, it must be handed over to a reliable institution or department, otherwise these down jackets can be worn on the children in the disaster area?
Judging from everyone's worries, these down jackets are indeed very valuable, but since Bai Bing has donated them, everyone should be assured that they will be properly docked and dealt with, and we must have confidence in the rescue system in the face of the disaster.
Through this incident, it further shows that the current Internet celebrity phenomenon also has a reasonable place, not useless, with the help of the Internet, people have a different way of life, with different ways of generating income, as long as you uphold the right values, it doesn't hurt to have more Internet celebrities.
For the phenomenon of forced donations or dislike of small donations, I personally think it is inappropriate, and an Internet celebrity like Bai Bing deserves recognition and praise, but other people's love should not be blamed.
On the one hand, donation is a voluntary act of an individual, which is based on the individual's recognition and care for charity or a specific group, while forced donation is to force others to donate according to their own expectations, which is undoubtedly infringing on the rights of others.
In reality, everyone's understanding and participation in philanthropy is different, and we can't blame others for not meeting our expectations, and we can even think about how we are doing.
On the other hand, from a practical point of view, publicly accusing others of donating too little is a sign of lack of empathy, because everyone has their own considerations about the amount of donations, and some people may indeed be unable to donate due to financial reasons, and we should understand and respect their choice.
In addition, the amount of donations cannot be a measure of a person's love, everyone should donate according to their actual situation, just do what they can.
