Jet Li as the First International Red Cross Ambassador

Li, who is also a philanthropist in which he was appointed Ambassador of the Red Cross, confirmed he had invited to dinner on September 29, but initially refused because of his busy schedule. "Three days ago, I received an email from Bill Gates, wishing I had time because he and Buffett wish I could provide 30 minutes before dinner and talk about the future that we face as human beings. That's why I came, "he said.

Gates and Buffett have convinced 40 people were wealthy and their families in the United States to hand over more than half their wealth to good causes as part of a project launched in June. They plan to learn about China's approach to its benefactors in Beijing banquet, and have stressed they will not force one of the super-rich Asian countries to contribute.

Li, who founded his own charity One Foundation in 2006, encourages people to give money or time for a good cause but said his homeland is a newcomer to the business of charity. "Development of China's only real place in the last 10 years," he said, adding the United States has 100 years of experience in philanthropy. Li also said the U.S. film industry to give more to charity.
