the reporter noticed that this @everyone message reminded everyone of the fundraising ceremony held on september 5, and specifically noted the "limit" of the donation standard - "individuals donate one day's (salary), more than 200 yuan for section-level cadres, and more than 100 yuan for general cadres and employees."

>>>donate more or less voluntarily

the notification sent to the work group was not accurate, and there was no mandatory donation amount.

on the afternoon of september 5, a reporter from the huashang daily dafeng news contacted the civil affairs bureau of guangfeng district, shangrao city, and the staff clarified: "we are advocating and advocating for everyone to donate, but it is not mandatory."

the staff explained that there was a problem when the notice was released in the work group. "we have an internal work group, so maybe the wording was not accurate when the notice was released."

"our donation is in accordance with the traditional virtues of the chinese nation of helping the needy and accumulating good deeds, advocating a people-oriented and dedicative spirit. this activity is not mandatory, and the statement may not be accurate when it was released."

when asked whether some people were unwilling to donate, the staff said they were not sure. "we advocate voluntary donations. we are all volunteers. it's okay if you don't donate. the amount you donate depends on your personal income. if you want to donate more, you can donate more. there is no requirement for anyone to donate a certain amount."

the staff member emphasized: "some people donated more today, for example, some people felt that they could afford it, so they donated a little more. there is no requirement for everyone to donate a certain amount."

>>>donate every year

last year, the district donated a total of 1.58 million yuan to help the poor, medical care, education, orphans and the disabled.

as for where the donations go, the staff told the reporter, "we organize this donation every year. the key is to help those vulnerable groups, such as those in poverty, medical care, education, orphans, and the disabled. it involves quite a lot of areas. through this kind of activity, we gather the love from all walks of life and form a strong social effect. the purpose is to help vulnerable groups improve their quality of life."

according to the staff, the donation activity is currently ongoing and "it is still going on and there are still a few days left before it ends."

when the reporter asked about the current cumulative donation amount and whether the donations needed to be posted publicly, the staff member said: "then you should ask their charity department."

the reporter then contacted the charity department of the bureau and asked about the current donation amount. the staff replied: "donations need to be scanned by the qr code. it has not been summarized yet. the summary is the total donation of one unit. it is the money donated by the entire unit. last year, our donation was 1.58 million, which is the total amount of all units in guangfeng district."
