Zhang Ziyi :Outraged by quake ignorance
HONG KONG (AP) -May 24, 2008 Zhang said in several Chinese-language blog entries over the
past week that she has been busy raising money for relief efforts
after the deadly quake struck in China's central Sichuan province,
which has killed more than 60,000.
But she said she was surprised to find one group she solicited
on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in France knew little
about the disaster.
"I was as angry as a madwoman. I said, 'Are you idiots? You are
well-dressed people who look like you identify with society, but
you don't know what's going on on planet Earth.' It's incredible!"
Zhang said.
Zhang said she has made a pamphlet about the quake to show
foreigners. She said she donated $144,000 and received a pledge of
$100,000 from Wendi Deng, the Chinese-born wife of media mogul
Rupert Murdoch.
Zhang's other credits include "Memoirs of a Geisha," "Rush
Hour 2" and "House of Flying Daggers."
