    In the developed countries, the proportion of the workers’ rewards in the national income reaches 55% and even more, while, in China, the year 2007 witnessed the decrease of the proportion from 53.4% in 1997 to 39.7% (See Haitao Du, “Expert: Unreasonable National Income Distribution Attributable Finally to Economic Structure”, People’s Daily, December 31, 2009). Relatively low and imbalanced labor reward level is one of the important factors affecting the ordinary residents’ capability of making charitable donation.

    According to the statistics with regard to vocations, of the donors in the activity, students were the biggest in number, which was directly related with the fact that student volunteers served as the donation workers on that day. Those student volunteers from several universities and colleges, when carrying out their task, thought that they themselves should show their loving heart by giving some money of their own.
