In 2014, there was a 6.5- magnitude earthquake in Yunnan that took away about 400 lives and injured over a thousand of people. Jay Chou immediately donated 500 000 dollars to China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation as to help with the earthquake victims and became the first among various artists to give out donation.
Jay Chou often uses his fame and popularity to help fund-raising.
