The hurricane left New Orleans after raging through it for five days.
The upscale neighborhood where Tang Tian lived, being upstream, had not suffered too much damage, but the downstream areas had been devastated.
More than half of the Port of New Orleans had been destroyed, over a hundred thousand people had been displaced, and fifty people had died in the hurricane.
With the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 not yet fully faded from memory, enduring another catastrophe like this ten years later was truly cruel for the people of New Orleans.
Many of those still living there began to question whether they should remain.
At that moment, Tang Tian immediately posted a message on his personal Twitter.
He would establish the Tang Tian and Olson Global Foundation, investing 10 million US dollars as the foundation's startup capital.
The foundation's first funds would be used for post-disaster reconstruction in New Orleans.
After Tang Tian posted the tweet, many NBA stars immediately stepped forward to show their support.
Kobe replied on Twitter right away, saying he would contribute 1 million to the foundation.
James, Harden, Wade, Duncan, and other stars all reposted it and expressed their willingness to donate.
In the face of disaster, grudges and conflicts became insignificant.
In Hollywood, the first person to step forward was Emma Watson.
When Tang Tian made the post, Watson called to ask about his situation and immediately donated 500,000 us dollars to the foundation.
Scott and Yates followed soon after. After donating and reposting the message, they also called on Hollywood stars to join in.
After that, wealthy people from New Orleans and surrounding cities began donating as well.
Quite a few fans back home also voiced their support. Lin Huanyu alone donated 10 million, living up to his reputation as
