New year is a time for giving. With the Spring Festival---the beginning of a new year in Lunar Calendar--- around the corner, the annual Charity Parade kicked off its preparatory work. Last night, a TV live show was broadcast to raise money. Besides enterprises and institutes across the 24 towns scrambling to donate, audiences of the program called in one after another to give money. As of Jan.9, the Red Cross has received 98 million yuan.
