I am actually one of the returning Chinese that he mentions, and I am currently interning for an NGO in Kunming China. Volunteerism does seem to be taking hold in college communities, however, once the students mature into upperclassmen or graduate, they give up volunteerism to focus on building their careers. JIA- Joy in Action is a Chinese NGO　based in Kunming, Yunnan. Their volunteer camps run every summer and winter, consisting of 20-30 people who are mostly college students. They go into recovered leprosy villages, usually located in remote mountainous areas (isolated, but also as a result beautiful) to help improve the living conditions of the villagers. Great affordable (only 200-300 rmb) opportunity to see a side of China most visitors don't ever see. Interesting article.
