On March 19, 2006, with the advice of many "Yumami" (Li Yuchun's fans) and the support of Li Yuchun, the China Red Cross Foundation established the Yumi Love Fund, which is the first special fund in my country donated and named by fans. Over the past 18 years, Li Yuchun and "Yumami" have donated more than 34.93 million yuan, and more than 150,000 people have benefited from public welfare projects. In 2019, with the support of Li Yuchun, the Yumi Love Fund launched the "Yellow House - Aesthetic Enlightenment Public Welfare Project", which aims to open a window of beauty and love for children in rural schools with relatively closed information and relatively backward conditions by building art classrooms for rural schools, donating aesthetic education equipment and teaching materials, and organizing aesthetic courses and activities. As of June 2024, the project has built "Yellow Houses" in 20 rural schools in 10 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Hunan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Qinghai, Hubei, Chongqing, Liaoning, Xinjiang, and Guizhou, benefiting more than 30,000 students.
