Two days ago, Eason Chan attended the 愛的奉獻 fundraising event to benefit the Sichuan Earthquake Relief Efforts in Beijing. Eason was scheduled to promote his upcoming concert and Mandarin album in Malaysia, but due to the Sichuan Earthquake Eason canceled his promotions and immediately flew to Beijing for the fundraiser, where he donated his voice and money. On stage, Eason had the following words of encouragement, "Blood is thicker than water, we must be strong, there is hope for tomorrow, continue to be strong." (血濃於水, 我們一定要堅強, 希望在明天, 好好加油.)
Eason also wrote a letter of encouragement, hoping that the words will be transferred to the victims. The message in the letter is as follows:
There are always good and bad sides to everything.
Personally, I will always look to the good side!
I feel that as long as everyone works together to make something work, then it is enough - just like tonight, when I will be working with the three other performers.
I hope that everyone will continue to work hard together, then the road ahead will be very beautiful and fulfilling.
Keep on going, comrades!
