Chinese power couple Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming is many things: drop-dead gorgeous, influential, tabloid-worthy, the list goes on and on. 

And yet, it seems that the couple isn’t stopping just yet, as they’ve just added another star-worthy trait to that list: benevolent. 

In light of the recent coronavirus outbreak (a calamity that has claimed the lives of 170 civilians in China and infected thousands), the pair has donated a hefty SGD$39K in a bid to fund much-needed masks for valiant healthcare workers in Wuhan.

Now, money might not solve everything…

But when used in the right circumstances, it sure could do a lot for those who need it.

Our hearts too, Mr Huang.

Meanwhile, Chinese tech firms have also pledged millions as they join the fight.
