Critical Quote

"Since 1978, tremendous changes have taken place in every aspect of both the social and charity field, from the expansion of social organizations and ways of governance to charity philosophies and ways of operation. Zhong Yanqun also introduced the practice of modern charity by the Shanghai Charity Foundation in five aspects, including; the precision and effectiveness of key projects; the more efficient response to the new changes and difficult social issues arising from social transformation through innovation; the focus on cross-border cooperation and diverse collaboration; the expansion of the social influence of charity institutions based on representatives in every district; and the active advocacy and practice of modern charity culture. Zhong Yanqun said, efforts should be made to scale up the new modes, approaches, and means of charity, so as to make new headway in legal charity, targeted poverty alleviation, and the integration of charity in the Yangtze River Delta, and in exploring the path to charity with Chinese characteristics."

—Zhong Yanqun, Chairman of Shanghai Charity Foundation
