1 and 5- 12 After the Sichuan earthquake, Zhang Ziyi said in his blog that he would donate 1 10,000 RMB to the disaster area through the Red Cross Foundation.

2. During the Cannes Film Festival, on May 2 1, Zhang Ziyi raised nearly 500,000 US dollars for the disaster-stricken areas at the "Zhang Ziyi Earthquake Relief Fundraising Conference". Among them, there are 465,050 dollars, 2,700 euros in checks, and 145 pounds, 860 euros and 60 Hong Kong dollars. And set a fundraising goal, hoping to win a donation of 6.5438+0 million US dollars;

3. Zhang Ziyi announced the establishment of Zhang Ziyi Fund in Cannes. In addition to raising nearly $500,000 in Cannes fund-raising activities, the media reported that Zhang Ziyi had promised hundreds of thousands of donations from well-meaning overseas friends before;

Second, netizens questioned:

1. The netizen found in the donation inquiry system of China Red Cross Foundation that on May 15, 2008, a donor named Zhang Ziyi donated 400,000 yuan and 440,000 yuan to the Red Cross Foundation respectively, and recorded 840,000 yuan. It is different from the previously claimed 65,438+0,000.

2. Why is the donation of $500,000 raised by Cannes not recorded?

3. There is no "Zhang Ziyi Fund" on the website of Gold Club. Why does the statement of child-friendly organizations only mention 400,000 yuan, and there are still 65,438+million yuan?

Third, Zhang Ziyi responded:

Everyone is welcome to supervise.

This matter will not affect her concern for society.

(1) In response to questions from netizens and the media about why Zhang Ziyi donated 1 10,000 RMB, only 840,000 RMB was found. Ji Lingling responded: She did donate RMB 65,438+0,000 to the Red Cross Foundation. We were in no hurry to need this donation voucher at that time, because it was a charity. I didn't expect the situation to be so complicated now. Ziyi was busy working in new york at that time. Knowing that the domestic disaster was urgent, she immediately informed me, her assistant and an accountant in Beijing to do it.

The assistant directly contacted Secretary-General Wang of the Red Cross Foundation for handling. Two days ago, some media interviewed the person in charge of the Red Cross, and they also confirmed that Ziyi donated money in installments 1 10,000. Ziyi herself wants to contribute to the disaster area, but now someone comes out to ask such and such questions. Ziyi wants to give1000000, will she be short of that money? "

(2) Regarding the donation of $500,000 raised in Cannes, Ji Lingling said: When the earthquake happened that year, Ziyi was filming an advertisement for Maybelline in new york, and she went to Cannes the next day because she heard that the disaster was very serious, and she wanted to do something for the disaster area. So I decided to try to raise money with my appeal for the time being, so as to help the people in the disaster area get more help.

But at that time, we had not set up a foundation. In foreign countries, charity has strict procedures. No one dares to donate money to you without a foundation. So we decided that I should open an emergency fundraising account in America. At that time, I found a lawyer specializing in non-profit foundations in Los Angeles to help us deal with it.

At that time, Ziyi hoped to raise $6.5438+0 million, but only raised $500,000, of which $6.5438+0 million was promised by Ziyi's good friend Wendi Deng. But Wendi Deng really wanted to do something for the disaster area, so before we returned to America, she donated the money to another foundation. She wrote it in my space, so she can go and have a look. The remaining $400,000, recently, Care for Children has issued a certificate, announcing that the $400,000 donated by Zhang Ziyi Fund will be used as financial support for the resource center project established by Care for Children in Deyang.

(3) Regarding why the Zhang Ziyi Fund can't be found on the website of the Red Cross Foundation, Ji Lingling said: It's very simple. The Zhang Ziyi Fund is registered in the United States. At that time, in Cannes, our donors were all Americans or Europeans, and their donations were tax-free, so they wanted the money to go to professional institutions in the United States. So we have to register in the United States and donate it to China. This is also convenient for donors to inquire.

Extended data:

Regarding the "fraudulent donation" storm, Ji Lingling said: Anyone who does charity is a good thing for social progress, not to mention an actor with strong social influence like Ziyi! What used to be a positive thing is now putting the cart before the horse, which is a blow to everyone. But what Ziyi said impressed me deeply. She said, "China is a fast-developing country, people will naturally be attracted by many new things, but the important thing is that we can't get lost and forget that there are still many vulnerable groups in this society who need our love!" I don't think this matter will really affect her attitude towards social care.
