After the earthquake in Gansu, online public welfare activities have attracted widespread attention. Many Internet celebrities, celebrities and entrepreneurs have reached out to convey the true feelings of the world. However, despite the fact that donations have been controversial and especially evident in the online environment, many netizens are still keen to force others to donate or publicly criticize inappropriate behaviors such as insufficient donations.
In response to the issue of donations in Gansu, the donations of relevant enterprises and celebrities can be learned from news reports. For example, a well-known chemical company donated more than 10 million yuan, although some netizens expressed dissatisfaction with this and questioned whether the company embezzled the donation, such doubts are undoubtedly inappropriate and irresponsible. No matter how much money is donated, each one is selfless goodwill, and too much argument will undoubtedly affect the true meaning of goodwill giving.
In this donation campaign, Bai Bing, a well-known food Internet celebrity blogger, won praise from the public. He was highly concerned about the needs of the disaster area, and learned from local friends in Gansu that there was a lack of warm clothing and food in the disaster area. Therefore, he took the initiative to coordinate the resources of all parties and provided 80,000 barrels of selected halal instant noodles, a large number of branded sanitary napkins and quilts and other urgently needed supplies.
What's even more admirable is that Bai Bing also raised 5,000 down jackets for children in the disaster area. While buying expensive down jackets isn't a problem for many, it can be a little extravagant for the general public and families. Therefore, his act of love is beyond gauge. The affected children will soon receive the clothes, a selfless act that has attracted applause from netizens and made Bai Bing more accessible and credible.
Some netizens expressed concern about the donation of down jackets, after all, these are valuable brand goods. However, we believe that the sincerity of the donor's attitude towards the charity, as well as the good reputation of the charity, will ensure that the clothing is properly distributed and used. In the face of this disaster, we should give full trust and support to the rescue system.
This incident once again highlights the other side of the influencer phenomenon, where online technology acts as a catalyst to not only drive change in the way we live, but also create more revenue streams for us. As long as we can correctly grasp the values of Internet celebrities, there is nothing undesirable in cultivating the phenomenon of Internet celebrities appropriately.
However, I don't think it's appropriate for someone to force others to donate or dislike donating less. Sincere and willing Internet celebrities like Bai Bing deserve our high appreciation, and we must not underestimate any sincere kindness they give.
First of all, donations are based on the expression of personal will, which reflects the recognition and concern for a charitable cause or a special group. Conversely, if we exert pressure to force others to donate, we will be violating their rights.
In life, everyone may have a different level of understanding and involvement in philanthropy. Instead of being harshly criticized for not meeting our expectations, we should reflect on whether we have done our best.
Secondly, objectively speaking, publicly criticizing others for not giving enough money is actually a sign of lack of empathy. Because everyone thinks differently about the amount of donations, there may be people who are unable to donate due to financial reasons. We should show our understanding and respect their decision.
Finally, the amount of donations cannot be a measure of love, we should do what we can according to our actual situation.
