1. The journey of Han Hong's music dream
Yangjin Zhuoma, who then transformed into the well-known Han Hong, was born in 1971 in an ordinary family in Qamdo, Tibet. His father is a popular comedy artist, and his mother is a well-known singer.
However, fate suddenly changed when Han Hong was six years old - her father died heroically because of official duties, and her mother had to remarry with deep pain. Thinking of this, the young Han Hong had to be sent to Beijing to seek refuge with her elderly grandmother.
When she was nine years old, Han Hong took the green train to Beijing alone for the first time, and a lonely and helpless little figure appeared at the station. When the grandmother saw her arrival, she was very excited and tightly hugged this long-awaited granddaughter into her arms.
In the bustling capital, Han Hong began a new journey in life.
At first, Han Hong was an introverted and taciturn little girl who always seemed timid and shy, which made her grandmother feel distressed. However, as time went by, under the meticulous care of her grandmother, Han Hong gradually grew into a sunny and cheerful "little padded jacket", bringing endless warmth to people.
Music is undoubtedly the love of Han Hong's life, and in her spare time, she always sings to her grandmother, showing the powerful charm contained in her unique voice. Every time my grandmother heard her granddaughter's singing, she was moved by it, and her heart was full of pride and relief.
Until the age of 14, her grandmother resolutely decided to pave the way for Han Hong's musical dreams. She ran around and finally succeeded in getting Han Hong admitted to the Children's Choir of the Central People's Radio.
Since then, Han Hong has taken a solid step in her music career.
Although in her later career in the entertainment industry, Han Hong has suffered from the difficulties and rejection of laymen, in that unfamiliar field, she is like a wandering fallen leaf, struggling to find a place to live, but she has been ruthlessly crushed.
However, she did not give in to this, but faced the difficulties with a positive, optimistic, self-deprecating and humorous attitude, always remembering to be grateful for God's favor, and never complaining.
She participated diligently in various competitions, especially in the 1993 Dongfanghong Competition, and won the third place in one fell swoop, which laid a solid foundation for her future popularity.
Since then, Han Hong has been like a bright new star, gradually emitting dazzling light.
2. The first signs of philanthropy - Wenchuan earthquake relief
On May 12, 2008, a sudden 8.0-magnitude earthquake ruthlessly ravaged Wenchuan, Sichuan, and the disaster was terrifying!
Seeing with his own eyes the scene of devastation, collapsed houses, and damaged roads, Han Hong was deeply saddened! Countless innocent lives were taken away in an instant, and their homes turned into the dust of history in a moment.
At the same time, she also deeply experienced the warm power that continues to emerge from all over the country, and people have generously donated money to practice the ancient proverb of "support from all sides in times of trouble" with practical actions.
This personal experience deeply touched the softest part of Han Hong's heart, and she firmly decided to do everything she could to provide assistance to the people in the disaster area.
Therefore, Han Hong quickly organized and established the "Han Hong Love Action" volunteer team, actively recruiting volunteers to devote themselves to the front-line rescue work, racing against time to deliver food, drinking water, blankets and other urgently needed relief materials to the victims to alleviate their survival crisis.
What is even more touching is that Han Hong did not hesitate to pay out of her own pocket and donated up to 3.3 million yuan to support the reconstruction of the disaster area. Under her inspiration, the "Han Hong Love Action" raised a total of 2.75 million yuan.
In the critical period of post-disaster reconstruction, Han Hong did not stop, but took the initiative to participate in the work of disaster relief and reconstruction. She has led a team of volunteers to go deep into the hard-hit areas many times, personally visited the affected people, donated funds to local schools to build new teaching buildings, and was even invited to serve as the honorary principal of Longju Central Primary School in Shifang City, instilling confidence and courage into the students with her own affinity, and enlightening their wisdom.
She is willing to shoulder the great mission of public welfare and charity, hoping to use her meager strength to help more people in need, so that the cause of "doing good" can continue to develop and pass on from generation to generation.
At that time, Han Hong was actually at the peak of her career, and all kinds of endorsement advertisements, commercial performances and other work in the entertainment industry came one after another. But in the face of the sudden catastrophe of the Wenchuan earthquake, she resolutely put down all her work and rushed to the disaster area without hesitation.
When she saw the victims whose families were ruined and displaced, Han Hong's heart was filled with endless grief, and her compassion prompted her to devote herself to the rescue work regardless of her personal gains and losses.
At the scene of the disaster-stricken area, Ms. Han Hong and her enthusiastic volunteer team worked together to distribute urgently needed relief materials, regardless of the harsh environmental conditions, devoted themselves to meticulous wound dressing and hemostasis treatment for the injured people, and even occasionally cooked delicious meals herself, bringing endless warmth to the victims with delicious food! Many victims were deeply touched by Ms. Han Hong's sincerity and kindness, and the voices of praise were endless, calling her "the people's outstanding artist".
3. The pace of philanthropy never stops
After the Wenchuan earthquake, Ms. Han Hong did not stop her philanthropic steps, and her philanthropic footprints continue to extend forward.
In the face of subsequent natural disasters in other parts of the mainland, such as the 2010 Yushu earthquake in Qinghai, the catastrophic mudslide in Zhouqu in Gansu Province, and the 2011 Yingjiang earthquake in Yunnan, Ms. Han Hong has never shown any fear or flinching.
Whenever the disaster came, she always contacted the rescue team as soon as possible, and rushed to the front line During the arduous journey along the way, she never showed the slightest impatience or complaint, because she knew that there were countless people in need of assistance who were eagerly waiting for her arrival.
Ms. Han Hong's kindness has also infected many colleagues in the entertainment industry, who have generously donated money and actively participated in Ms. Han Hong's disaster relief project. Under the leadership of Ms. Han Hong, the entire entertainment industry has gradually formed a new trend of being keen on public welfare, and more and more artists are no longer just glamorous in appearance, but also interpret their social responsibilities with practical actions.
In order to make the charity more standardized and orderly operation, in 2012, Ms. Han Hong officially registered and established the "Han Hong Love Charity Foundation" in her personal name in the capital Beijing. Since its establishment, the foundation has received enthusiastic response and strong support from all walks of life, with central leaders, cultural and sports stars, entrepreneur representatives, etc. joining the council, and even on the day of the opening ceremony, well-known movie stars such as Zhao Wei and Li Ming came to the scene to cheer for the foundation.
With the solid support of this professional platform, Ms. Han Hong's public welfare activities have also shown a diversified development trend. In 2011, she successfully organized the "Han Hong Love Tibet Hometown Charity Tour", which extended the road of public welfare to her hometown, and in 2012, she carefully planned the "Han Hong Love 100 People Aid Mongolia" activity, focusing on the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
Originally set up temporarily in response to disaster relief, the "Han Hong Love Action" has become an important way for her to continue to pay attention to and fund all kinds of vulnerable groups after several years of development and growth.
As a result, Han Hong's charitable aid footprints are like stars twinkling all over the country. Every time a disaster strikes, she always has no hesitation to go to the front line of the disaster area as soon as possible to send warmth to those in urgent need of assistance.
Her care is like a warm current, moisturizing things silently into the hearts of millions of people, inspiring more and more people to join the big family of public welfare.
Fourth, Internet questioning and human warmth
In the past few years, Han Hong has always been firmly committed to public welfare and charity, selfless dedication and obscurity. However, while she actively advocated the transmission of love, some negative doubts followed.
An influential blogger publicly questioned Han Hong's long-standing charity activities on the Weibo platform, accusing her of embezzling donations in the name of charity and lacking transparency in her account operations.
The blog immediately caused an uproar in the online world, attracting widespread attention, and the blogger also cited a series of so-called "evidence", claiming to have submitted a complaint to the relevant authorities for an investigation.
In the face of these doubts, a large number of fans of the blogger have come forward to defend him in the comment area, and even appeared personal attacks against Han Hong. In fact, this is not the first time Han Hong has faced such doubts.
As early as a few years ago, someone reported the foundation founded by Han Hong in real name for suspected illegal operations, calling on it to disclose its financial situation and accept public supervision.
In the face of this menacing Internet question, Han Hong chose to respond with silence, and she decided to no longer pay attention to the hustle and bustle, but stick to her original intention and focus on the disaster relief work in hand.
In stark contrast, in 2021, during the heavy rainstorm disaster in Henan Province, which is rare in a century, the local people showed a touching and profound humanity Zhengzhou Metro Line 5 suffered severe waterlogging, when more than 500 passengers were trapped in the carriage, and their lives were in jeopardy. The white coat was stained with blood, but it never stopped.
On the subsequent online forums, enthusiastic netizens praised Mr. Yu Yifei as an "ordinary and extraordinary" hero.
In addition to the heroism and selfless dedication of individuals, all sectors of society have also extended a helping hand. At the same time, the Han Hong Charity Foundation also donated RMB 30,000,000 to the front line of the disaster area to participate in the rescue work.
When the broad masses of people are facing difficulties, the light of benevolence and justice is everywhere. In the treacherous environment of the subway floods, the trapped passengers supported each other and prioritized the safe evacuation of women and children.
The selfless dedication of individuals and the help of all sectors of society have made us feel the greatness of humanity and our unwavering faith in the face of disasters.
5. The road to rebuilding public trust
At present, there are many controversies in the field of philanthropy that have undoubtedly reduced the level of public trust in charities and practitioners.
First of all, it is necessary for us to establish an independent and impartial third-party evaluation system, in which professional social organizations regularly conduct comprehensive evaluations of all kinds of charitable organizations, and publish the evaluation results and rankings openly and transparently, so that they can be quantified, standardized, and subject to extensive supervision by the whole society.
Only by adhering to the principle of sunshine operation can we win the full trust of the public.
Second, we need to vigorously strengthen moral construction. Advocate more social celebrities and celebrities in more fields to actively participate in public welfare and charity, set an example with their own practical actions, and help improve the moral quality and social morality of citizens.
At the same time, we will continue to promote the culture of philanthropy and make it an important force leading new trends in society.
Finally, in addition to paying attention to those large-scale institutions and celebrities with great reputations, we should also pay attention to the ordinary people who have been obscure for a long time and have been engaged in charity work at the grassroots level of society.
The strength of each of them may seem insignificant, but as long as the little acts of kindness of these countless ordinary people are brought together, it is enough to form an unstoppable warm current and nourish the harmonious development of the entire society.
All in all, it is not easy to rebuild the public's unwavering trust in philanthropy, and it requires the unity and cooperation of all of us, from government leaders to business leaders to the general public, everyone should consciously put into practice and actively participate in it.
Only when we unite and work together can we rekindle the innocent yearning for kindness and fiery passion in the society we live in.
