More than 3,000 members of Deng's fan club joined in the donation effort, which raised more than 230,000 yuan ($32,752) in 12 hours.
On Jan 24, the fans bought 20,000 surgical gloves, which arrived in Wuhan three days later. On Friday, 1,200 protective goggles were sent to the city. In addition, the fans have donated 205 pieces of ultraviolet disinfection equipment and nearly 15,000 facemasks for hospitals in Wuhan.
Some people donated more than 10,000 yuan, while others, mostly students, gave less.
"We all tried our best to help," Deng said.
