Taiwan’s Min Nan language Heavenly Queen Jiang Hui managed to raise NT$ 10,000,000 in the first instance; meanwhile Jay Chou and Wang Leehom each donated NT$2,000,000. Elva Hsia, Jolin Tsai, Barbie & Dee Hsu, together with other celebrities also did their parts in the fund raising activities. Ella’s hometown, PIngtung, was badly hit by the disaster; together with other members in S.H.E, and artistes within HIM, they donated NT$2,000,000. Just being awarded recently as Best Female Singer in Min Nan language category in Golden Melody Award, Heavenly Queen Jiang Hui Heavenly Queen Jiang Hui updated her blog to encourage fans to do their part and contacted Quan Lian Welfare Chairman Mr Lin Min Xiong, who generously donated NT10,000,000. Jiang Hui shared that she would continue to make efforts to raise funds after she passed the current funds raised to the charity organizations. Meanwhile Jay Chou, who was in the United States currently, immediately donated NT$2,000,000 to TVBS Care for Taiwan funds when he first heard of the news. Wang Leehom also donated NT$2,000,000 and led the 70 staff of Sony Music to donate a day’s wages. Cai Qin donated NT$1,000,000 to Taiwan World Vision while Mayday, Fish Leong, Victor Huang etc donated another NT$2,000,000. A-Xin (Mayday) also made another donation of NT$500,000 under his apparel brand “StayReal”. On the other hand, Show Luo, Stanley Huang, Jolin Tsia, Rainie Yang raised a total of NT$3,000,000.

Ella’s hometown, which is Pingtung, has been badly hit by the typhoon, she shared, “To eat is one of the basic needs of human, yet we are seeing many people who are suffering in hunger now. I feel that the fastest way to render help to them now is through making donations of funds.” Barbie & Dee Hsu also raised a total of NT$2,000,000; Li Jing donated NT$100,000, and newcomer Hey-Girl Yao Yao also made a donation of NT$10,000. I put it in here since HIM is mentioned and we know FLH was part of the fundraising. Mods, feel free to move it if I should have put it elsewhere.

Celebrities from all over Asia including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China are actively rallying the public for more donations to aid the suffering victims. Taiwanese pop idol group, Fahrenheit, earnestly appealed to their fans for help and donations when they got wind of the devastating news. Inspired by their appeals, their appeals for help were met with an overwhelming response from their fans. Their generous donations were enough to fill three large lorries, with as much as 3.5tonnes of relief items donated over a course of just five days. In response to the active donations made by their fans, band member Aaron Yan expressed, "There are many overseas fans who are unable to donate relief-items. They have been leaving messages on discussion boards in hopes that the company can help them with it. Actually, everyone can make donations to the Red Cross foundation or the World Vision organization." Apart from taking time off to participate in the televised fundraiser event, the four-member group each bought 50 boxes of daily necessities for the affected Taiwanese citizens. The group also decided to donate the profits made from their Taipei concert to the relief fund. "This fundraising activity has really touched me. I hope everyone can continue to make donations and help successfully rebuild the lives of these victims," said Jiro Wang. In appreciation for their fan's unyielding support, Fahrenheit promised to present fans with an exciting and spectacular concert for their Nanjing concert in the Olympic stadium on September 5. Yay!!!! And thanks to Joanne for contributing!

I think out of the four FRH members, he is the only one that have gone through poverty before, working a few jobs just to pay off debts right? He totally understands how the victims are feeling right now without shelter and all. Ahh I'm so touched! I'm glad he is still who he is, being careful with money and being so kind to the victims. I remembered seeing a video of Jiro using a lady's purse? Claimed that the purse was for his mum, but since she feels that it's too small, he use it instead. Ahh with him being so rich now, what is a purse to him right? Hehe. I'm glad he's not a spendthrift. Due to his past experience I think he knows money is difficult to earn! :p The other three members are really sweet too eh. Just can't help but to love them more and more! hehe.
