Chinese actor and singer Huang Zitao has received widespread attention after making a major donation to support flood victims in Guangxi.
His charitable act quickly became a trending topic not only in China but also across South Korean online communities.
On July 7, 2026, Huang Zitao’s studio and his sanitary pad brand Duowei jointly announced a donation worth 1 million yuan.
The contribution included 500,000 yuan in cash and 500,000 yuan worth of emergency relief supplies for affected communities.
The cash donation was transferred to local authorities to support emergency response, temporary shelter, and post-disaster recovery efforts.
The relief packages also included daily necessities, among them women’s sanitary products produced by Huang Zitao’s own brand.
The inclusion of feminine hygiene products attracted significant praise from Korean netizens.
Many described the donation as thoughtful because it addressed the often-overlooked needs of women during natural disasters.
They also applauded Huang Zitao for providing practical assistance instead of symbolic support.
At the same time, the donation sparked debate in China. Some questioned whether including products from his own brand blurred the line between charity and marketing.
Others argued that the supplies were genuinely useful for disaster victims and that the humanitarian value of the donation should remain the primary focus. (Overseasidol.com)
