Many WeChat users shared their newly bought paintings on their personal pages. Some even changed their phone’s wallpaper.<\/p>\n

The works were painted by autistic people and sold via Tencent’s charitable platform. Money collected will be donated to a project called “Enlighten life with art”, which aims to eliminate social prejudice and help people with disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.<\/p>\n

Altogether, 36 works of art were available from artists 11 to 37 years old, and buyers could save a digital copy.<\/p>\n

The project began on Aug 17 but discussion heated up in earnest on Tuesday on WeChat, a major social media platform. WeChat is owned by Tencent.<\/p>\n

Donations since the project began totaled more than 15 million yuan. About 5.8 million people participated.<\/p>\n

By noon on Tuesday, 2 million people had participated and donated 8.4 million yuan. But the donation page was closed at 4 pm after the target of 15 million yuan was reached.<\/p>\n

The works will also be exhibited at the Jingdonglu Subway Station in Shanghai on Friday, according to Tencent.<\/p>\n

According to a statement released by Tencent, the project was initiated by World of Art Brut Culture- a Shanghai-based private nonprofit charity- on Tencent’s charity platform. Money raised will be accepted by Aiyou Future Foundation, a Shenzhen-based organization with public offering credentials.<\/p>\n

Money will not be funneled through Tencent’s charity platform but will be accepted directly by the foundation. Donors can track their donations on WeChat, the statement said.<\/p>\n

Peng’s phone wallpaper has been changed to a new picture – two people on a beach at sunset.<\/p>\n

“I saw what a friend had shared on WeChat,” the 30-year-old said. “The drawing was pretty and I clicked it to see more.” She bought the painting for 2 yuan.<\/p>\n

“The artist, Xiaolong, is 28-about my age- and has cerebral palsy. When I saw the painting, the orange and blue color pleased me,” she said.<\/p>\n

Peng said it is convenient to participate in charity giving online. Her last donation went to a project aimed at helping children from rural areas go to school.<\/p>\n
