答案                         On High-profile Charity
    People in China are now getting accustomed to news snapshots of Chen Guangbiao, a famous Chinese philanthropist, surrounded by a group of disadvantaged people with donated cash in hand. Quite many are disgusted by this kind of show-off generosity, because it goes against the traditional Chinese virtue of "not seeking recognition from doing good". Personally, however, I applaud the charity in the spotlight.
    To start with, this high-profile manner could urge millionaires and lucrative companies to contribute more to the society. Profit-seeking businesses nowadays are too often concerned with material gains, paying little attention to repaying the society. Against this backdrop, if charity is brought to the limelight, greater sense of corporate social responsibility would be called upon among the corporate communities. With the pressure from public exposure, enterprises and rich individuals would be urged to do more to live up to the expectation of the public. In this regard, we should welcome more acts of benevolence to go public, to create a healthy and favorable climate for charity in China.
    Secondly, from the perspective of the beneficiaries, this high-profile method guarantees that the money goes to the intended receivers. It is reported that the transparency of philanthropy is greatly demanded by the general public, in light of a few scandals of money embezzlement or under-the-counter deals. If we ask the press to oversee and witness the process, people are enabled to have full access to the whereabouts of the money. To be specific, when the contribution is made, the money arrives directly at the hands of those in need. There are no middlemen or roundabout procedures during the process. Everything and every move are recorded on camera in the press, with the whole nation watching. The watchdog role of the mass media is exercised and the transparency of charity is achieved. Above all, making generosity public can ensure that those intended recipients truly benefit from the donation.
    In conclusion, we should not worry about the way in which money is contributed, but rather the authenticity and sustainability of the donation. In this sense, doing charity in public, though a bit different from conventional practice, actually urges us to contribute more and requires relevant parties to be transparent. These are the two blessings in the so-called "high-profile" disguise.
