“When disaster struck, help came from all sides.” It is not only the virtue of Chinese People, but also the tradition of PetroChina. Whenever a serious natural disaster happens, we will reach out with our helping hands, and immediately send our care,money and materials to the disaster area. In 2007, certain cities and regions of China suffered from serious natural disasters such as flooding, drought, and earthquakes. We took the crises as our responsibility and sent disaster relief funds to Anhui, Shandong, and Chongqing.

In late June 2007, the areas along the Huai River and the southern part of Anhui suffered from a catastrophic flooding – the most serious since 1954. The southern mountain area of Anhui and part of Dabie Mountain surrounding areas were hit by torrent disasters, resulting in heavy losses. We were deeply concerned about the conditions in the region and donated RMB 6 million yuan to these areas.
