Top Chinese diva Han Hong revealed that the Lion City singer was behind the previously anonymous donations while introducing Sun as a guest at Han’s Beijing concert on October 7, the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald reported.
Han established the Beijing Han Hong Love Charity Foundation in 2012. It mainly engages in medical, education and disaster relief projects across China.
Since then, Sun has donated to the fund every year using only the name Ms Sun. The total amount of her annual donations came to eight million yuan (US$1.1 million), the report said.
Earlier this year, she made an additional donation of two million yuan (US$280,000) to the fund for flood disaster victims in southwestern Guizhou province.
Sun only agreed to make her donations known to the public recently.

“Sun always told us not to write down her name on the donation maker list. I finally persuaded her to change her mind by telling her that in this day and age, we need positive energy. We need to promote good people and their good deeds,” Han told the audience at her concert in Beijing.
