Lin Jun Jie donates 500 thousand Yuan to help the victims in the earthquake disaster zones; First to compose song

The Si Chuan huge earthquake this time round caused JJ to be remembered of the scary earthquake incident he encountered in Taiwan 5 years ago when he just went there. Coming from Singapore, he had never experienced an Earthquake and at that time, he was living by himself in a hostel. When the room started shaking, he thought that it was just him being overworked and having a headache but after he realise that even the lights on the ceiling were shaking wildly, he thought of what his senior Ah Du reminded him of before "When you first arrive in Taiwan, besides the change in weather and taking care of your body and health, you must also remember that when there's an earthquake, run out into open space immediately. Do not take the lift..." JJ after that said that "It was midnight at that time. i was very scared. My first thought was to start praying. Luckily, I got out peacefully. After staying in Taiwan for some time, I got used to the occasional shake of the ground. The Si Chuan earthquake this time made me feel that disasters really have no sympathy towards people. We cannot predict or control it. And when I see the photos or read the news, I find it hard to believe that they're all the truth. It's very scary and I don't know what I can do for everyone. I can only do what I can and hence, I wrote the song "Love and Hope". I hope that those friends in the disaster area will be able to gain strength from the song and persevere on." JJ also plead to everyone "If I'm at the scene, I might not be of much help because one person's ability is limited. But once united, there will be much that we can achieve. Hopefully, those with money can donate their money. Those that can help will help. We must learn to appreciate what we have."

Si Chuan earthquake shocked JJ a lot and he didn't sleep for 2 days 1 night in order to compose the song "Love and Hope" as well as record the song, being the first to compose a song for the disaster.
JJ has rushed to Beijing today morning to take part in 3 events related to the disaster. He also sang for the first time in public, the song "Love and Hope"
JJ said that "I hoep it will encourage everyone, and everything will turn out fine."

JJ originally planned to go down to Guang Zhou and Chong Qing to discuss performance details but it has been canceled due to the earthquake. He has personally donated 500 thousand yuan and Beijing OBM will help to settle the donation matter. OBM's boss and workers all followed in JJ's example and donated their earnings for a day.
Because of the earthquake, a lot of people are uncontactable. JJ is also very worried about the safety of the fans. He posted his well-wishes on his own blog earlier and this few days, fans have been posting there to report that they're safe. This made JJ very touched and less worried.

Lyrics of "Love and Hope"
大地被摇晃着
天空突然黑了
我的心也被震碎了下一秒瓦解了泪堆积成了河

但明天是好的
我们要坚定着
爱~让我们不放弃活着还要继续和大自然拔河

当爱与希望投射炙热的太阳
昨日泪光会随时间都蒸发
别轻易放弃明天要许更多愿望
装满了勇气就更有力量

当爱与希望倒映暖暖的月亮
再回头望又是筑好的家乡
我知道未来还有好多路要闯
我打开了窗看见了晴朗
