The wealthy ladies in east China's Zhejiang Province are proving they're deeper than their Louis Vuitton handbags by joining the new Red Cross charity club for the well to do.

 

Zhao Li is a successful entrepreneur with her own beauty salon. She says she has always worked on charitable activities in her spare time, like donating to a primary school in Tibet. Now she's decided to commit herself further by joining the new club set up by the Zhejiang Red Cross.

 

The China News Service quotes Zhao Li as saying the more money she earns, the less satisfied she feels about the life. She thinks joining the club offers her and many others the opportunity to enrich their lives by participating in public welfare work.

 

Wang Jianbo, Vice Secretary-General of the Zhejiang Red Cross, says the club aims to help more generous and rich ladies participate in charity work and spread their love to more needy people.
