Hong Kong Star Myolie Wu Auctions Some Stuff For Charity


Hong Kong star Myolie Wu, famous for her TV series, auctions some of her treasures and will give the proceeds to charity. Isn't she nice?

In her second year as the ambassador for Oxfam, Myolie Wu went out to Pengliang in Jinsu province earlier to visit a poor rural village. During the trip, she saw first hand the poverty and the environmental damage in the area and the cycle of destruction going on as the poverty was destroying the environment which in turn made the area poorer. After returning to Hong Kong, she is showing great support to the work that Oxfam is doing there, so she has donated many of her treasures to be auctioned and raise money for their China Development Fund.

Among Myolie's treasures on sale are some polaroid pictures that she took on her trip that have been autographed and also the hats and scarves she wore on her trip. Also, there are some autographed t-shirts and rice bags. The auction starts today and goes on until 16th May and the winning bidders will be able to collect their items from Myolie in person at the grand opening of this year's fundraising activities.

Myolie encourages everyone to place their bids and says: "This programme not only improves the lives of the villagers, they will also reduce the damage to the environment. Although the villagers are poor, they are still fiercely independent and their laughter is very touching. I hope that everyone will take part actively and let the poor areas make better use of their resources, improve their livelihoods and protect the environment."
