Andy Lau and Jackie Chan participated in the Beijing Southwest Drought Relief last night. Andy was initially at Hengdian shooting for the film "New Shaolin Temple" and especially took time off to attend the charity event in Beijing. While he was talking about the natural disaster's great impact, he was a man who choked on his tears. Throughout the night, the evening charity event raised a total of 270 million yuan worth of money and supply donations. Andy was the first guest singing performer and the organizers arranged the children who were affected by the drought to meet with him. Hearing the children not willing to drink water at school, so they bring it back to home for the family use and how their lives are so difficult, Andy found it quite moving. When one child heard Andy sing the song "The Chinese People", it brought back ad memories, everyone could not hold in their tears. When Andy and the MC were talking, he teared up as he expressed his hope that every Chinese person around the world could see this charity performance and can pray together for some rain, giving the disaster victims water to use for their daily lives.
Andy also helped answer phone calls, answering more than 10 phone calls in 10 minutes. One caller made him extremely touched, the caller was a father, his son and daughter, Andy praised that these two kids although are at a young age, really have a loving heart. The kids expressed their desire to donate 2000 yuan of their leisure money to help the victims and hoped everyone can come out show some support.
