As a mother, Cecilia had a great deal of pity for the children in Qinghai.

Since the victims were fellow countrymen, everyone should support each other. Lynn said that aside from taking care of their own children, the women in Qinghai also took care of other young orphans, whose parents died in the earthquake.

Donnie Yen said, “The people in Yushu are our countrymen. We will always support you. Please stay strong!”
