HONG KONG – With Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and other celebrities appealing for donations, the Chinese-language entertainment industry raised nearly $4.8 million for victims of the recent earthquake in China's west after a five-hour charity concert in Hong Kong.
 
A spokeswoman for the concert, Bonnie Wong, said the biggest individual donation on Monday came from Hong Kong media mogul Run Run Shaw, who chipped in 10 million Hong Kong dollars ($1.3 million).
 
Other stars performing or attending Monday evening included Hong Kong singers Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan, Leon Lai and Joey Yung.
 
The April 14 earthquake in Qinghai province killed more than 2,200 people.
