Each family of the dead peacekeepers will be offered 250,000 yuan ($36,671), and the remaining 3 million yuan ($439,412) will be used to support Chinese peacekeeping activities in Haiti, including aiding earthquake victims and rebuilding.
Jackie recorded a song, "Welcome Home", for the eight Chinese peacekeepers killed in Haiti on Monday, the report said.
