At 11:59 p.m. on December 19, 2023, the news of the earthquake in Gansu shocked the entire country, killing 134 people. For a time, hundreds of millions of netizens have paid attention to this disaster and are eager to see the helping hand of all walks of life. When the aid list was revealed, many people were dissatisfied with Nongfu Spring's donation of only 24,000 bottles of mineral water. This is in stark contrast to the company's owner, who holds a net worth of 450 billion yuan and is the richest man in China.
"We don't produce water, we're just nature's porters!" This advertising slogan of Nongfu Spring used to be familiar to us. However, behind the scenes, a company that sells mineral water can actually become the richest man in China. In this context, Nongfu Spring's action of donating only 24,000 bottles of mineral water pales in comparison.
In contrast, Hongxing Erke, as a domestic brand in the mainland, always shows a gesture of generosity in the face of natural disasters. In the earthquake-stricken area, the boss of Hongxing Erke donated 20 million materials, which immediately aroused a warm response from the majority of netizens. Netizens have flocked to the official flagship store of Hongxing Erke, so that the phenomenon of out-of-stock goods continues to appear. Many netizens have said that even if they can't wear these materials, they will never ask for a refund, expressing their deep respect for Hongxing Erke.
Nongfu Spring's 24,000 bottles of mineral water pales in comparison to Hongxing Erke's generosity. Many netizens bluntly said that it is winter, and Nongfu Spring's mineral water stock is obviously excessive, and the donation made this time is just to clean up the inventory in order to skillfully win the public's appreciation. This trick is obviously too ingenious. There are those who call for a rational look at the issue and believe that the amount of donation should depend on the sincerity of the donor. We do not have the right to morally kidnap others. We should look at the donation behavior rationally, donating more and donating less is completely based on personal intentions, and there is no need for moral kidnapping.
To this day, there are still many celebrities and well-known companies that have not taken action. Is this pretending not to know, or is it planning an earth-shattering move? Nongfu Spring has only donated 24,000 bottles of mineral water, and I'm sure everyone has their own opinion. In this important event of human life, the size of the donation is not the only criterion, but the more important thing is the heart and care. Whether it's Nongfu Spring or other businesses, we should look to those who really need help. The lives of people in the earthquake-stricken areas are in danger, and we need to work together as a society to lend a helping hand.
May everyone be thoughtful about this earthquake disaster and take practical actions to help those in need, whether it is donations, materials, or willing to provide spiritual support. Let's share love and warmth together so that people can feel us in this disaster. To be honest, there are still many celebrities and well-known companies that have not yet launched any assistance actions. Is this a pretense of ignorance, or is there something more important to come? What do you think about Nongfu Spring donating only 24,000 bottles of mineral water?
We can't tell exactly what the real intentions behind the donation action are, but we have reasonable expectations of corporate and individual social responsibility. As a company with huge resources and influence, Nongfu Spring may not have shown the moral demeanor it should have in this earthquake relief, but we should not underestimate its past and potential actions for the future.
As the clarion call for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation sounds, let us pay attention to the needs of the people in the disaster areas and call on more forces to participate in the assistance action, so as to build a more harmonious and warm society. No matter how much the donation is or how much it is converted into a market value, we should uphold a sincere and goodwill attitude and do our part for the people in the disaster area.
Only with such joint efforts can we make our society better and let the flower of life bloom more brilliantly under the clouds of disaster.
