NT$1,200,000 for Jay Chou guitar
by kelvin@multistars - 6th January 2005
Jay donated his beloved guitar for the charity auction on the 7th. This guitar which has the autograph of Jay, was immediately bought by the assistant general manager Wang Ling Qiao of The Chinese Bank for NT$1,200,000.
"This guitar was with me for the lonely days, I hope that Mr Wang can value it!" Young heavenly king Jay was like giving his daughter away to marriage, he donated his beloved black guitar, originally he was still a bit unwilling, until he saw the buyer was Wang Ling Qiao, who is also a lover of music, only then was he a lot more relieved. Seeing Jay's unwilling eyes, Wang Ling Qiao pledged: "When I go back I will use a vacuum package to handle it, I will love it like my wife!"
Before Director Chou was famous, this guitar was his best friend, even though the price was only a few 10,000 yen, yet it contains a lot of sad memories. At the start Director Chou was really afraid the price of the guitar wouldn't be high for the charity auction, it was good to sell for NT$1,200,000, plus the fans all called to donate, even though the volume of money was only a few $1000, but as they are students, donating this much money, is really rare and also proves there is kindness all over Taiwan, the warmth of the world.
