Preface
Who is she, a philanthropist who has dedicated her life to her faith, or a liar who has been carried away by money?
Han Hong, a household name.
As one of the top singers in China, her singing voice is shocking and her works are popular.
However, people seem to mention her more often than praise her singing voice.
Because she is also a controversial philanthropist.
The whereabouts of the money are a mystery, and her true intentions are doubtful
In 2020, an explosive news spread quickly on the Internet - some netizens reported that the Han Hong Foundation had "disappeared" 300 million donations.
In an instant, she fell from an exemplary philanthropist to the position of a liar.
When this message was frantically forwarded in the circle of friends, many people were stunned.
Three hundred million, that's an astronomical amount.
How is it possible for a charitable foundation to embezzle so much money without being discovered?
However, this seems to be the case, and the investigation team soon intervened and demanded that the Foundation reveal its whereabouts.
Han Hong's response was that this was purely a false accusation, and there was no "missing donation".
The two sides have been arguing back and forth, and even turned into legal proceedings.
However, Han Hong refused to explain the flow of 300 million donations, which undoubtedly attracted more questions for her.
Public opinion swept in like a tide, and Han Hong could no longer resist it, so she had to suspend all public welfare activities.
In the midst of this unprecedented scandal, her reputation hit rock bottom.
The image of the once generous and leading female philanthropist is gone.
People have even questioned whether her large-scale assistance to the victims is just to win attention and highlight her charity image?
However, what is the truth of this "missing donation"? Is her original intention to be for money and fame, as everyone has suspected? Or is she really just trying to do everything in her power to help others?
Dedicated to her faith, she was in the same boat through thick and thin
In fact, Han Hong did not become a leader in the philanthropic world overnight.
Her path to public welfare began with a sad childhood.
When she was 6 years old, she lost her father and was abandoned by her mother, and wandered to Beijing alone, finally reunited with her grandmother.
However, an even greater tragedy continued to play out in her life - in 2005, her grandmother, who loved her dearly, also left her.
This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for a girl with a fragile heart.
She couldn't sleep all night, and her grandmother always echoed in her head.
She was in unprecedented pain and confusion.
Once upon a time, she was also a cheerful and sunny girl who could always make her grandmother laugh.
Now, however, all good things are in the past.
The world was a gloomy place for her.
In search of solace for her soul, she began to do good deeds.
At first, she would donate gifts to the children in orphanages and welfare homes on birthdays or at the end of the year.
Looking at their happy smiling faces, she felt more relieved than ever.
Perhaps, this is what her grandmother said to her in the spirit of heaven: "Be kind and do good." ”
In 1999, a cable car ride for a family of three in Guangxi fell and both husband and wife died, but only their 2-year-old son survived.
When Han Hong learned the news, as an orphan, she immediately contacted the rescuers and said that she wanted to adopt the child.
Eventually, after a series of procedures were completed, she was able to adopt the poor child as she wished.
This is the first time in her life that she has officially tried to "do good".
However, it was the Wenchuan earthquake that really made her decide to devote herself to philanthropy in 2008.
That year, as one of the members of the disaster relief charity performance, she witnessed the loss of relatives and homes in the earthquake.
The despair and sorrow in their eyes completely touched her weakness.
So, with almost no hesitation, she was determined to devote herself to the cause of disaster relief and do her part for these suffering compatriots.
This became a turning point in her life.
Since then, she has been determined to direct her career towards charity.
In the years of going to the disaster areas to rescue, she and the victims were in the same boat through thick and thin, and they survived the difficulties together.
Perhaps it is this compassion for the weak that makes her still down-to-earth after success.
She seems to have found spiritual sustenance, and this is her belief.
The temptation of money is hard to resist the faith in my heart
However, anything good is immune to jealous scrutiny.
When Han Hong's philanthropy became bigger and bigger, the interest groups in Vanity Fair also targeted her.
In their eyes, a woman with hundreds of millions of donations is undoubtedly a cash cow.
As a result, rumors about her "embezzling charity funds" began to spread in the circle.
Some people questioned what she was spending all her money on; Some directly accuse her of using celebrity effect to gain political capital.
All kinds of voices converged, and her image fell to the bottom.
But the most fatal blow came from the netizen who reported her "missing" 300 million donations with her real name.
The "ironclad evidence" he provided directly pushed Han Hong to the forefront.
For a while, in the face of surging public opinion pressure, she was almost at a loss.
The temptations of money and fame are undoubtedly big enough to shake anyone's faith.
But she held on.
Because a consistent belief is rooted in her heart: that is to save people and do good.
This has also become her spiritual pillar to survive in difficult times.
When the truth was revealed and the rumors were shattered, the people who slandered her disappeared one by one.
And she still goes her own way, continuing her philanthropic work, even harder than before.
Because she found the meaning of life, which is what she has believed in all her life.
The power of love, warmth and hope continues
Now, when people mention the name Han Hong again, the first thing that appears in their memory is no longer the suspicion of money, but her meticulous dedication and care for the suffering people.
In 2021, when a catastrophic flood struck Henan, she was one of the first volunteers to arrive at the scene, and she saved many lives by herself.
She cried and picked up one child after another and moved them to safety.
Some of the elderly in the families of the victims had difficulty moving, so she put down her body and carried them out step by step.
And the courage and love she showed also touched and awakened the kindness of countless people.
More and more people are joining the rescue efforts and fighting alongside her.
Today, a year later, when she resolutely stepped into the disaster area again, those people who had been helped by her stepped forward to hug her.
Some of them came to participate in the disaster relief.
epilogue
All people saw was the familiar figure - she smiled, cried, and sent love and hope to the victims one by one.
Perhaps it is this emotion that makes more and more people willing to join her career.
Perhaps, this is the message she wants to convey the most: no matter what ups and downs fate brings, as long as we have good intentions and pass on warmth and love, hope will always be ahead.
The most precious thing in the world is not money, nor power, but love.
This is also the belief that Han Hong has been passing on and practicing all her life.
When we mention her name, let's also remember the power of her love!
