The level 5 fire at Hoang Phuc Uyen apartment complex, Dai Bo district, Hong Kong (China) shocked public opinion. Right after the disaster, many artists in the country of a billion people have donated and become the focus of discussion on social networks.
Tieu Chien, Vuong Nhat Bac, Thanh Nghi, Chau Tham respectively donated 1 million yuan. While the online community is paying attention to which artist is donating the most and responding the fastest, a quiet announcement posted on the website of the Chinese Red Cross Society has surprised everyone.
On November 29, Liu Yifei donated 1.5 million yuan, the amount of money was allocated for emergency relief, psychological support, living necessities, temporary accommodation arrangement and reconstruction work after the disaster. At that time, it was only 72 hours after the fire.
What surprised the public was that Liu Yifei did not have any press reports or posts from the studio. Even fans accidentally discovered the news on the Red Cross website.
Traditionally, considering Liu Yifei's17-year charity journey, she always puts modesty and quiet as the principle.
In an era where artists' charity activities often come with "trending topics" on Weibo, Liu Yifei's donation process is extremely simple: natural disasters - silently transferred money - the agency published - the fan discovered. There was no promotion.
Liu Yifei's donation does not include "disaster rescue", but clearly shows each item, showing deep understanding and empathy.
This is not a coincidence. That is a charity style that has been formed over many years of her.
In early 2025, when an earthquake occurred in Tibet, the temperature dropped below 0 degrees Celsius and the transportation of goods was difficult. Instead of just transferring money, she chose to donate 500,000 yuan in cash and 730 fireplaces.
This amount of money allows local organizations to allocate resources flexibly, while the stoves have solved the urgent needs of the people.
The biggest difference of Liu Yifei is that she does not chase money, but focuses on practicality.
In 2008, Liu Yifei was only 21 years old at that time, just becoming a phenomenon with "The Condor Heroes" and her career was on the rise. When the earthquake occurred in Van Xuyen, Liu Yifei donated all the remuneration of 4 major films, plus personal savings, totaling 1 million yuan.
In 2023, Liu Yifei received the "Dedication Medal" from the Chinese Red Cross Society. She is the only solo artist to be awarded this title this year. But the actress did not post it on social media, until fans had to read the announcement to know.
Liu Yifei's actions also inspired fans positively.
Her fan community quickly launched the "According to you do charity" movement, donating an additional 200,000 yuan and buying warm blankets to temporary shelters for people affected by the apartment fire in Hong Kong (China) in just half a day.
