Olympic tennis champ Zheng donates US$150,000 to Nepal-Tibet disaster
The 23-year-old is one of China's biggest sports stars and gave a similar amount of money after an earthquake in Tibet in 2025.
Olympic tennis champion Zheng Qinwen has contributed US$150,000 to aid efforts following devastating flash floods and landslides that struck the China-Nepal border. The 23-year-old, currently competing at the US Open, is one of China's most prominent athletes and has previously donated the same amount following an earthquake in Tibet in 2025.
Zheng, who secured Olympic women's singles gold at Paris 2024, is closely monitoring the relief efforts and hopes for her compatriots in the disaster zone to overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes as soon as possible. Nearly 4,500 people remain missing, while over 900 have been confirmed dead after tsunami-like glacial floods surged down from the border between Tibet and Nepal last week.
