慈善是改革开放以来相对较晚出现的新词,20世纪90年代初,人们潜意识里一说起慈善,马上联想到的是外国神父、帝国主义走狗在中国办育婴堂、残害中国儿童。直到1989年中国青少年基金会“希望工程”建立、1994年中华慈善总会成立,中国慈善的社会环境才越来越好。进入21世纪,一些民间慈善机构也逐渐发展,发挥着它不可替代的作用。 Charity is a relatively new word since the beginning of the reform and opening up. In the early 1990s, when people talked about charity in subconsciousness, they immediately thought of as foreign priests and imperialist lackeys running baby cribs and crippling Chinese children in China. It was not until 1989 that China Youth Foundation “Project Hope” was established. Since the establishment of China Charity Federation in 1994, the social environment of China’s charity has become better and better. In the 21st century, some non-governmental charitable organizations have gradually developed and played an irreplaceable role.
