On the morning of April 14, an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 happened to Yushu County, Qinghai Province, resulting in collapse of all the houses at the epicenter and serious casualties. Immediately after he was informed of such situation, Professor Xu Jiayin, chairman of Evergrande Real Estate Group, who has been receiving the title of "China Charity Award" for three consecutive years and has been among China's top ten philanthropists, gave maximum support by all means to the people in disaster areas, and made an immediate decision to make the first contribution of five million yuan via the China Charity Federation to the disaster areas, for which Evergrande has become one of the first large enterprises to offer compassion to the disaster areas.

Natural disasters have no mercy. The Yushu earthquake is another disaster with large number of casualties and broader involvement following the Wenchuan earthquake. The rising casualties are knocking the hearts of people with Evergrande.

March 2010, when Chinese football is at the most vulnerable state, Evergrande came out boldly and invested more than 100 million yuan to take over Guangzhou Football, with determination to promote Chinese football to return to the peak.
