　　BEIJING－After a night of wining and dining with 50 of China's richest people, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates told the journalists on Thursday that the biggest difference between eating with Chinese tycoons(企業(yè)界大亨)and Western ones was the food．

　　“I was amazed last night, really, at how similar the questions and discussions and all that were to those in the dinners we had in the U．S．,” said Mr．Buffett．

　　Mr．Buffett and Mr．Gates, two of the best known Westerners here, announced in September, 2010 that they planned to invite 50 wealthy Chinese tycoons to dinner in Beijing to encourage philanthropy(慈善事業(yè))among China's new rich．

　　On Thursday, the two men pronounced the dinner a great success, saying that two-thirds of those invited had shown up, and that more than half of them had offered their own ideas on how Chinese philanthropy should work．

　　The guest list wasn't made public, but the Chinese news media reported that it included Jet Li, the movie star; Niu Gensheng, the founder of a Chinese dairy business; and Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, who control the SOHO China real estate(房地產(chǎn))empire．

　　As with four earlier dinners held in the United States, Mr．Buffett and Mr．Gates said, no one at the Beijing event was asked to donate money or to promise to engage in charity．“Bill and I won't be calling anybody．What happens in China will depend on what the Chinese people feel about a project of this sort,” said Mr．Buffett．

　　China is widely reported to be second only to the United States in the number of dollar billionaires．Mr．Gates and Mr．Buffett said the nation was unique because its wealthy class had arisen almost wholly in the past 30 years, so the philanthropic practices established among European and American dynasties are new here, and open to change．

　　The two said the dinner wasn't a long planned matter, but an offshoot of a trip that Mr．Buffett had already scheduled to Guangdong and Hunan Provinces, where BYD Company, a maker of clean-energy automobiles, has factories．Mr．Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds a 10％stake(股金)in the company．

　　But Mr．Gates suggested that their philanthropic trip wasn't yet over．“We may do an event in India,” he said．

　　She was a lovely and pretty girl but now Liu Siying's seriously burnt face and hands tell people that she might never be happy again. On January 23, 2001, the 12-year-old fifth-grade primary school pupil from Central China's Henan Province was taken by her mother to Bei-jing's Tian' anmen Square, believing she would enter“Falun World”. There the two set themselves on fire. She said she was told,“the flames Can't hurt you. They will only pass through your body and you will reach heaven in the twinkling of an eye. It's a wonderful world. You could become a religious queen and many people will serve you.”She said her mother and other Falun Gong practitioners said this to encourage her to set herself on fire. However, the flames changed everything. The pain and fear made the young girl cry out for help. She was rescued by the police and sent to Jishuitan Hospital, China's leading hospital for treating burnt patients.

　　The hospital found the girl had burns to 40 percent of her body and burns to her face. A healthy girl has been physically damaged for life. Siying had been a well-behaved girl. Her mother told her to practise Falun Gong last March and she became acquainted(熟悉) with a number of Falun Gong practitioners. The followers often praised her for being clever and said that she could become a“religious queen”in heaven. Doctors at the hospital said it was only after 16 hours at the hospital that the shock caused by the burns was controlled. Her head was bandaged and she was given a skin-transplant operation on her left hand.

　　The girl said she set herself on fire because she was“going to heaven”. She said she no longer believed in Falun Gong and that she had been fooled.

　　Scores of days later, she died in the hospital.
