Around 500 artists from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan gathered at the West Kowloon Reclamation Site for the Artistes 512 Fundraising Campaign to raise money for the Sichuan Earthquake relief efforts. The fundraiser began at 2:28 pm, the exact time the earthquake hit Sichuan on May 12, 2008. Eason Chan and Eric Tsang were among the 500 artists who participated in the fundraiser, with Eric being a host and Eason being a performer.
Seeing the audience waving their yellow ribbons in support of the event, Eric could not help but shed tears. Aside from performances, artists such as Eason, Anita Yuen, Jamie Chik, and Joyce Cheng told emotional stories of events that took place before and after the earthquake. Eason, who told a story of a father's sacrifice of his own child to save others, stepped off the stage after finishing the story and shed tears himself, which led to Eric having to comfort him. Eason later said that this was a memorable experience because he felt the atmosphere of the event was filled with a mix of strength, touched, and emotional feelings.
During the event, Eason performed 他們都是我們的孩子 with Sandy Lam and Anthony Lun, 一路好走 with Jaycee Fong, 愛的暖流 with Sam Hui, Leo Ku, Miriam Yeung and Joey Yung, told a story of a father's sacrifice, and opened and closed the show performing 承諾 with all artists.
