A well-known Chinese philanthropist donated 100 million yuan (US$12.3
million) in Fuzhou on Wednesday to the Jiangxia People's Medical Relief
Foundation in east China's Fujian Province, to provide medical services for the
needy.
The donation from Huang Rulun, a native of Fujian and a successful
entrepreneur, will be chiefly used to help needy families who can not afford
medical treatment.

million yuan (US$740,000) to Fujian Charity Federation in June.

the philanthropist has donated a total of 450 million yuan (US$55.5 million) in
China over the past few years.
