The entire showbiz community of Hong Kong on Sunday staged another fund-raising concert for victims of the Sichuan earthquake. An eight-hour-long concert, the largest ever charity show in the city, was held on Sunday in the Pop TV Arena in west Kowloon. More than 20 entertainment industry guilds and major TV stations in
Hong Kong teamed up to organize the event, which saw 200-plus stars
from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese mainland performing.
Reports said 20,000 people paid a minimum donation of 20 Hong Kong
dollars to see the concert. Donations also poured in from TV viewer
through dedicated hotlines. All proceeds from the show will be donated to quake funds, said
Gordon Chan, who initiated the event along with Jackie Chan and Andy
Lau. In fact, Jackie Chan gave the show its theme: "Rebuilding homes."
