"We are China fans of Rain. Rain celebrates his birthday on 25th June."
As of 7th Feb, about 100 members had an intense discussion on this, and subsequently issued the "Rainbow Action¡ªRaining on Spring Buds Proposal (Eng trans my own)" online. Rain fan Xiaodong told the reporter that this is a joint project between Rainchina and Baidu Rain. The aim is to do raise funds, in the name of Rain, and help a group of "Spring Bud" children living in poverty areas to complete their primary six education.
According to Xiaodong, they selected Chongqing for this project after many fans saw reports of teachers in Chongqing who are living in poverty conditions. In addition, this project was greatly aided by the Women Association of Chongqing, who helped the fans reach out to 50 children in the Chongqing "Spring Bud" project.
"Rain is a very caring artiste. We hope that more people can get to know about Rain through such methods. We hope to show our passion for the artiste through a more meaningful way, and at the same time, lend a helping hand to these children. More so, we hope to reach out to the public to help and support the needy."
According to Xiaodong, the proposal was issued online on the 7th February. By 27th Feb, in just 20 days, the "Rainbow Action" has raised more than 17 thousand Yuan of funds. The project is currently still going on.
"We have set up four bank accounts. The donor's name and amount contributed are announced in the forum. We are projecting to raise 20 thousand yuan; 15 thousand yuan for school fees and five thousand for things like stationary and daily lives necessities," says Xiaodong.
