In the early days of the pandemic, masks were a scarce resource that could not be purchased with money. However, Chen Guangbiao resolutely donated 500,000 masks and personally went to Wuhan to volunteer. During the epidemic, he donated nearly 300 million yuan. Whenever a disaster occurs, he is always the first to lend a helping hand and personally go to the disaster area, so he is known as "China's first kindness". However, when he made a high-profile donation of 2 billion, he suddenly disappeared.
Now, he's reappeared, raising speculation about where he's been and whether there are other legends in his life.
Chen Guangbiao was born in 1968 to a poor family in Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, where his parents made a living from farming. His arrival brought a hint of joy, but it also added to the already poor family's woes. One of his older brothers and sisters died of starvation.
As a young boy, he used his spare time to sell water to support his family, which was his first opportunity to show his business acumen. He carries two wooden barrels to the town every day to sell water, and the ** he sets is surprising. He can drink as much water as he pleases for a penny. Although it seems that this is not a profitable practice now, in fact, he goes home with an income of two or three cents a day.
When he grew up, he used his holidays to buy grain from the village and sell it to the town. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and these little things show his talent in business. He was only 17 years old at the time and had become the first "young 10,000 yuan household" in the township.
Maybe you don't know, Chen Guangbiao has been a good person since he was a child. When he was a child, he used the money he earned from selling water to not only pay for his own books, but also for the neighbors' children. This behavior was influenced by his parents, who regarded Lei Feng as an idol since he was a child.
In 1985, Chen Guangbiao was admitted to Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in a medical company. The daily life is comfortable, but he is not satisfied, because the salary is fixed, and there is no high income from starting a business.
After much deliberation, he decided to quit his job and start his own business. After several days of market research, he found that the auricular disease detector has great market potential. However, the instruments of the time did not fully meet the needs of patients.
Therefore, he consulted some experts at his own expense, and improved the instrument on the basis of understanding, so that it could intuitively observe whether the body was suffering from diseases, and applied for a national patent. After its launch, the instrument was warmly welcomed by the market.
He also used this as an opportunity to set up his own company. In the first year, the company earned 200,000 yuan, but he took out 30,000 yuan to help a man with leukemia. This kind of behavior seems to require a lot of courage now, but it is normal for Chen Guangbiao.
For start-up companies, 30,000 yuan is a very valuable fund, but they still donated it and successfully survived the difficulties. By 2000, his business had expanded further, making basically tens of millions of yuan.
Two years later, he saw an opportunity in the circular sector and formed a new company. After an inspection in Germany, he found that a device could process construction waste such as bricks and concrete and use it for paving.
He immediately introduced several such equipment, so that customers saw the benefits of environmentally friendly building materials and placed orders one after another. The scale of the company has also been further expanded.
In addition to his professional career, he has also put a lot of effort into philanthropy. Whenever disaster strikes, he is always the first to donate money. He donated large amounts of equipment and cash to SARS and the Southeast Asian tsunami.
As a result of his long giving, he realized the importance of charitable programs. As a result, he sought the support and help of charities such as the Red Cross to make his giving more professional.
In 2008, when Wenchuan ** occurred, Chen Guangbiao immediately led the personnel to the disaster area to participate in the rescue work, and donated to the local area, and he also donated the urgently needed equipment to the local area to buy materials to help rebuild the home.
In Wenchuan**, he personally rescued hundreds of trapped people. In 2011, Yushu ** happened, and he appeared in the disaster area again. Whenever a disaster strikes, he is always the first to arrive.
In addition, he supports infrastructure development and education in poor areas, because he believes that knowledge can change destiny. He himself is a living example. He also believes that education can change the future of a nation.
Therefore, he devoted his energy to the cause of education, and successively donated 16 hope primary schools, and donated teaching equipment and uniforms to the schools.
Chen Guangbiao is a philanthropic enthusiast and has received pennants and certificates that could fill a room. He was praised as "China's first good" and was praised by the society.
However, there are highs and lows in life. Beginning in 2010, his high-profile donation caused discontent among the public. Although he has always stressed that he only wants more people to participate in charity, he has not been able to stop the name-calling.
In 2014, public dissatisfaction with Mr. Chen peaked, and his popularity plummeted. At that time, he was doing charity in New York, and invited hundreds of homeless people to dinner, and even gave everyone a few hundred dollars after the banquet.
The report of this incident caused a strong reaction among the people in the country. Many people think that as a Chinese entrepreneur, he actually does charity abroad.
After that, Chen Guangbiao's scandals continued. Although none of these things were done by him personally, but the fault of the company's executives, as the boss, he could not escape the blame of the masses.
What's even stranger is that after his high-profile donation of 2 billion, he suddenly disappeared from public view. Rumors about his whereabouts spread everywhere, some said he was bankrupt, some said he went home to farm in discouragement, in short, no one knew that he went **.
What is Chen Guangbiao's real whereabouts?Now, he has reappeared, and we know that he has not stopped his philanthropy, but he is no longer as high-profile as before, and he will not let ** publicize his good deeds, but do good deeds in obscurity.
During the epidemic in Wuhan, he donated a large number of much-needed supplies and equipment. When Henan was flooded, he also reached out to help. In the past, many people thought that he was doing a show, but the key is that his intentions are good, and he sincerely does charity.
There is often a misconception in society that when we are doing charity, this is what we call "kindness is not rewarded". But we must know that we must not give up doing good because of the malicious understanding of others, which will only play into the "evil heart" of those people.
In Chen Guangbiao, we see the image of a true philanthropist and caring person. He shows us what a true philanthropist looks like with his actions. Maybe he has always kept the hot-blooded young man who fell for Lei Feng in his heart.
