朱春燕是北川中學初中學生，在地震中為了救自己的同學而被倒塌的房屋砸斷了雙腿，被迫截去雙腿。王菲李亞鵬得知後立即同好友李厚霖一家、李滔一家發起關愛地震災區兒童未來的“汶川新家庭”計劃。

“汶川新家庭”助養計劃就是在這樣的背景下，由李亞鵬王菲一家及他們的朋友李厚霖一家、李滔一家發起的。這個活動將目光投向關愛地震災區兒童的未來，這個行動還有一個特別的口號：以父母的名義。

昨天是六一兒童節，李亞鵬一家、李厚霖一家及李滔一家一同來到醫院探望正在接受治療的北川孩子朱春燕、蒲虹學和李榮榮。也就在這一天，三個孩子分別得到了三個家庭的助養，她們三人有了屬於自己的新家庭。

當天與王菲一塊來到醫院探望新家庭成員朱春燕的李亞鵬，為了這次的新家庭團聚，特意帶來了參與助養計劃的女兒童童和侄女楚楚，而一向都避免把孩子展示在媒體鏡頭前的李亞鵬，這一次帶著全家來和朱春燕一塊過六一兒童節。從這個六一節開始的未來八年裏，朱春燕的新家庭裏多了四位成員。

當從李亞鵬口中得知朱春燕不幸截肢的消息後，童童立刻拉著他的手，大聲說道：“爸爸你一定要幫幫她！”童童和楚楚都為朱春燕準備了一個代表新家庭的禮物，而年齡相倣的三個小女孩，很快融合在一起成為了朋友。

在當天的探訪快要結束的時候，為了紀念新家庭的成立，李亞鵬、王菲、童童、楚楚、朱春燕和她的母親，六個新家庭成員一塊合影留念。然而“全家福”照片上大家沒有笑容，是因為春燕和她媽媽尚未從地震的傷害中恢復過來；而李亞鵬王菲夫婦的表情沉重，是因為他們家庭的“新成員”所遭遇的傷害。更重要的是他們深知肩上的責任重大。作為“汶川新家庭”助養計劃中的第一個家庭，他們希望這個行動可以得到更多的家庭響應並且參與，然後才會有更多的被傷害的兒童被關注，獲得幫助，擁有未來。

I have just moved into a big Peranakan House in Geylang area. There is this small backyard where I am thinking of can throw in a BBQ party for our house warming.
