Not long after China’s “Super Girl” Li Yuchun was included among the Top 10 most influential Chinese celebrities, she’s been demonstrating that influence by the public’s overwhelming support for her request to help in raising money for her favorite charity. After becoming ambassador to the Chinese Red Cross Foundation, Li Yuchun set up a special fund within the agency, to help poor and disadvantaged children with Leukemia, cope with the disease. The Chinese pop star has made it her mission to promote the foundation with every chance she gets, and it seems to be paying off. The CRCF has reported several website crashes after Li Yuchun spoke about the charity during recent public appearances. So far, the foundation has received more than 6,000 donations from Li Yuchun fans throughout the Asian region.

Just in case you haven’t heard of China’s latest pop phenomenon Li Yuchun, let me introduce you. She recently won China’s “Super Girl” contest, a talent show broadcast to over 400 million viewers, and quite similar to the US’s “American Idol” show. Despite not being the strongest singer or dancer of the bunch, it seems she’s hit a nerve with the Chinese public because of what many termed “her over the top originality.” She reportedly showed up to early auditions wearing loose jeans, no make-up, and an overly androgynous “Ziggy Stardust” like persona. The jury’s still out on whether her success will last, but the management team assembling around her at the moment, seem quite confident that they have a future star on their hands.
