Some chatted with the elderly, others helped them trim their nails, comb their hair, wash their clothes etc...These young people sent regards to the elderly similar to that of a kin's, touching the hearts of many elderly.

Working to donate to Yushu disaster area
Among the 5 smaller groups of fans, one of them is responsible for selling newspapers at the streets of Chengdu and the members had already collected the newspaper at 5AM. Although this is the first time they were selling newspaper, none of the fans complained of fatigue or difficulty, in fact, they were enthusiastically promoting the newspaper in hand and warmly encouraged everyone to show their love and concern for Yushu disaster area.
The other part of the fans walked into large-scale shopping centers and hypermarket to help out, answering customers' questions patiently and warmly, helping them. After a day's hard work, the members took all their earnings out and donated through the Red Cross Society to the people of Yushu disaster area under Wang Leehom's fanclub.

The members expressed that they "felt for themselves how hard it is for the traffic police, although they have stood for the whole day and their mouths were all dry, it was extremely worth it!"
Among all the little groups, one was really special - the fans from Japan, Korea and Singapore came together with health certificates from major hospitals in Chengdu in their hands, joining the group that is donating blood.
