Jimmy Lin to donate RMB1M to the Earthquake Relief Effort

“The Little Whirlwind” Jimmy Lin opened two restaurants in Taipei, one in 京华城,and one in 乐利路. Recently, patrons saw rats in one restaurant and reported it to the media.

Jimmy said yesterday that his restaurant passed all health inspections. “The entire 11th floor in 京华城 is full of restaurants. Because ours has an the open design, the rats were just passing by and not staying. We have increased sterilization and have complained to management. If they don’t improve the situation we will move.” Besides worrying about rats Jimmy is also concerned about the victims in Sichuan. He is donating RMB1M to the relief effort.

Jimmy has confirmed that he will appear on the CTTV and Chungqing TV fund-raising shows and will leave next Monday. He said he is now collecting donations from his fan club and commercial sponsors. In order to make sure that the money will go to the victims he’ll personally deliver the money to the Red Cross account. He will also go to the frontline as a volunteer.
