Wow Jay Chou sure is a superstar! He is very generous and kind. But that shows that Jay Chou is.... err... slightly wealthier than most Taiwanese artists...

Everyone, yesterday and today, ChinaTimes newspaper reported some very disturbing news about Jay and his donations. The paper stated that Jay did not donate enough money, and 2 million was a very small amount compare to what he earns every yr. In fact, Jay donated the most amount of money compared to other singers/entertainers. And It's the thought that counts! At this point in time, we can't just sit here and read these bullcrap articles anymore. And if you read the above article, the reporter obviously was not paying attention when writing this report because it said "Alfa Music " instead of "JVR" as Jay's record label. Please show your support by commenting to the article. We need to show them that Jay and us Jay fans can't be bullied like this!!

Eh, people complain too much. Like the time Taiwan donated a bunch of rice to support African children, and then American charities criticized Taiwan for not donating enough. Uh, America takes up like a fourth of the world, and Taiwan is smaller than the state of Florida. (-__-) People need to get their facts straight. Same with Jay, $2 million is a lot of money, regardless of how much money you make.

Heartening to hear of this act of care for his community. Disheartening to hear what criticisms people can actually spout of such a gracious act.

His action speaks a thousand words. Can't we see he's giving selflessly already?

How can we measure love with the amount of money involved?

it is terrible that Jay does something amazing like this and still gets condemned by people. well i would like to see other people donate that much money to the cause!!! Jay is a great role model for people, especially when he shows his kindness and generosity like this ^^

I'm glad that he's been donating money to help with the typhoon victims. I've seen the damage done, and it's really quite terrible in Taiwan. It's been over a week now and things are still pretty wrecked there. They're still finding people who've been stranded because of the typhoon. He SHOULD be helping out his country, and I'm very glad he is. And, not to give the wrong impression, but he's not getting the ball rolling; a lot of other artists have already been donating money to Taiwan to help out, even those not from Taiwan, those not listed in this article. They all deserve some credit for helping out (granted, this is a Jay Chou fansite, so they're not expected to be mentioned).

wow Jay really care to everyone. he has a good character and really a superstar..
I heard Wang Lee Hom and Fahrenheit also donate for this typhoon recovery...
