Stars from the entertainment circle are making great effort to contribute to the relief work in southwestern China, which was struck by a major earthquake.

Kungfu star Jackie Chan and the foundation in the name of Hong Kong Emperor Group have together donated 10 million yuan to the quake-stricken Sichuan province.

Jackie Chan also sent his consolation to the quake victims and encouraged them to hold on as "people all over the country are with you," the star said.

The One Foundation initiated by kungfu star Jet Li has made a donation of one million yuan and volunteers as well as medical experts under the organization have also headed for Sichuan.

Basketball star Yao Ming, who is currently in the United States for his injury treatment, donated 500,000 yuan upon hearing the news.

China Central Television's top show "The Same Song" will also stage a charity special, donating all proceeds to earthquake relief.

Established songwriter Xiao Ke composed and recorded a song over night tilted "I Know You Will Come" to warm the hearts of the victims in despair.
