Abstract

Charity in China stems from the development of economy in both national and personal aspects. Celebrities’ enthusiasm in charity evokes public participation. Considering the similarities and also the differences between China and some other countries which has relatively sophisticated charitable systems, China has the potential to take on its social responsibilities through learning from those forerunners in its own characteristic way. Individual charity finds its hotbed in this country because of public distrust for governmental organization and preference of personal contact with the recipients. Privately found organizations and self-donation now become the main stream of individual charity in China. The growth of Chinese individual charity may give its peers and following generations useful reference value and guidance to some extent.
