  "account": "Beijing: Renowned tennis player Zheng Qinwen has contributed $150,000 to aid relief operations following catastrophic flash floods and landslides that struck the China-Nepal border, according to a charity statement. The 23-year-old, one of China's most prominent athletes, mirrored her generous gesture after a devastating earthquake in Tibet in 2025. She remains actively engaged in tracking the advancement of relief initiatives, fervently hoping for her fellow countrymen in the affected region to swiftly recover and reconstruct their homes, as reported by a social media page linked to the China Charity Federation. Approximately 4,500 individuals are still unaccounted for, while over 900 have been officially reported as deceased following the glacial floods, resembling a tsunami, that cascaded down from the border between Tibet and Nepal last week. Qinwen, who clinched the women's singles gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, is presently engaged in a match at the US Open.",
