Hu Ge makes secret donation to Wuhan but unaware netizens criticise him

Numerous celebrities have stepped up to contribute to the fight against the Wuhan coronavirus. Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu bought 10,000 masks from Japan to donate to Wuhan, Singapore group By2 "swept up" face masks in Singapore for China, and even Mandopop King Jay Chou and wife Hannah Quinlivan made a cash donation.

But one name that apparently didn't appear in the public sphere was famous Chinese actor Hu Ge. The absence of his contributions led netizens to call him out, according to Chinese reports. However, it was recently revealed that the 37-year-old deliberately stayed under the radar and has already donated 100 air purifiers to a children's hospital in Wuhan. He also wrote a note to the hospital staff to thank them for risking their lives on the frontlines.

Celebrities who publicly reveal their donations are scorned as trying to gain publicity, while those who do it discreetly get condemned. It seems there's just no way to please the masses.
