With Beijing police having ruled out any link between China`s Red Cross and a self-confessed criminal, the Chinese Red Cross Foundation is calling for attention to be paid to the Yunnan earthquake rather than the earlier scandal, China News Service reported.
據中新社報道,根據警方調查與郭美美本人供述,北京警方已排除中國紅十字會與郭美美案有任何關系,而中國紅十字基金會也就此呼吁大家將注意力從此前的丑聞轉移到眼下的云南地震災情上。
The CRCF published several micro-blog posts online, saying it is very hard to eliminate the influence of rumors and doubts from the past three years, but in a key time of earthquake rescue work, "please forget Guo Meimei".
中國紅十字會在其官方微博上發布了數條微博,表示“三年謠諑也許并非一朝能清除”,但是在云南地震救援的關鍵時刻,“請大家忘記郭美美”!

In mid-2011, a young woman named Guo Meimei used social media to claim she was a manager of an organization under the charity, and openly flaunted her wealth and extravagance.
2011年年中,一個名為郭美美的年輕女子頂著“中國紅十字會商業總經理”的身份在社交媒體(微博)上公開炫富。
Her posts triggered concern over how donations are used by the country`s State-run charitable organizations and dealt a major blow to the reputation of the Red Cross Society of China. The RCSC has been struggling to win back trust since the scandal.
她的微博引起了人們的擔憂,質疑這家國家組織的慈善組織到底將捐款用在何處,令中國紅十字會名譽大受影響。自“郭美美事件”之后,中國紅會一直在為重建“信譽”而苦苦掙扎。
Guo was arrested for participation in illegal World Cup gambling activities on July 10. She confessed her crimes to the police, including being deeply involved with illegal gambling and spreading rumors about the RCSC, Xinhua News Agency reported.
據新華社報道,7月10日,郭美美因參與世界杯非法賭球被捕。她已向警方認罪,承認自己嗜賭成性、參與非法賭球,并且傳播關于中國紅十字會的謠言。
"Actually, none of my relatives and friends, including my ex-boyfriend Wang (Jun) were staff members of the RCSC. I also didn`t know anyone from the Red Cross," Guo said. "I made a huge mistake to gratify my vanity."
郭美美說:“其實我和我身邊的親人、朋友,包括我的前男友王某,都不是紅十字會的工作人員,我本人也不認識任何紅十字會的工作人員。因為自己的虛榮心,犯下了一個很大錯誤?!?/div>
"I want to say sorry to the Red Cross, all of society, and especially to all the people who cannot get aid from the Red Cross (because of my false claims)," she said.
“我要向紅十字會、全社會,尤其是那些因為我的虛假言論而沒能得到幫助的人們道歉,”她還說。
According to the police, Guo`s wealth came from illegal gambling, a very few paid personal appearances and the sex trade.
根據警方調查,郭美美的錢財主要來自賭博、性交易,以及鮮有的幾次個人演出。
The RCSC released a statement Monday morning, saying some institutions and people had made up rumors against the charity, which undermined the trust system in China, and pledged to fulfill its commission in a more transparent way.
中國紅十字會在本周一發布的聲明中寫道:一些機構和個人(利用郭美美炫富)在互聯網上編造、傳播中國紅十字會的謠言,破壞了中國社會誠信體系。而中國紅會將以更加透明的方式履行其職責。
The RCSC has 110 years of history, the statement said, and would keep improving its brand building capability, information sharing and management, and provide better aid for the public.
聲明中還說:中國紅十字會已走過110年的風雨歷程,在新形勢下將不斷改革創新和發展,在品牌管理、信息公開、規范化管理、能力建設等方面不斷改進和完善,為廣大公眾提供良好的人道服務。
