By doing good deeds themselves, these volunteers hoped to appeal to the public to join in charity, helping more people in need out.
The Daxing district community website, 25dx.com, helped to organize the event which has been held six times since 2012. It aims to assist children and needy people in poor areas by raising donations from netizens and social charities.
