Do you still remember Chen Guangbiao, who piled up a mountain of renminbi and was known as "China's first benevolent"? Recently, he appeared again in the Qinghai disaster area of Gansu Province, where a 6.2-magnitude earthquake had just occurred, carrying 13 million yuan worth of materials and wearing a military coat.
Speaking of China's non-governmental philanthropy, in addition to the notorious "Guo Meimei" incident, of course, there is also the famous "China's first benevolent" Chen Guangbiao. Chen Guangbiao has always attracted attention because of his generous and high-profile actions, but he has also been criticized by the public as a liar who is good at showmanship, rather than a real philanthropist.
Chen Guangbiao's history of philanthropy may go back far, far back, and even as of 2007, his donation amount was nearly 2 billion, making him one of the youngest top ten philanthropists in China at that time. But what really made him famous was that he led a rescue team composed of 120 operators and 60 large machines to rescue 131 lives from the hands of death during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, rescued 131 lives from the hands of death, carried thousands of corpses, and donated more than 100 million yuan to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area.
At that time, the overwhelming reports described Chen Guangbiao as a great benevolent person, saying that he was an entrepreneur with conscience and feelings. Since then, wherever there is a disaster, there is Chen Guangbiao, and he has become deeply bound to philanthropy, and the public and the media have continued to give him crazy praise. It is said that Chen Guangbiao's family has more than 30,000 pennants and nearly 400 honorary certificates.
Not only that, Chen Guangbiao also wrote on the company's official website: "When I leave this world, I will donate all my wealth to charity." looks like he wants to dedicate everything he has to charity, perhaps because of such a high-profile behavior, Chen Guangbiao began to be suspected by the public, is there really such a selfless person in the world?
Some people said that Chen Guangbiao's self-proclaimed "first pot of gold," that is, the "cross-century home CT" machine, was suspected of deceiving patients and middle-aged and elderly people; and that he later bought Ganoderma lucidum from Tai'an, made capsules and oral liquids, and sold them at high prices, also making huge profits.
He released two videos showing that he was immersed in ice water at 0 degrees for more than half an hour, and then released cruel words: within 6 days, if someone can stay longer than him in ice water, he will donate 1 million yuan. However, soon some experts came out to "slap the face", and experiments proved that soaking in 0 degree ice water for half an hour is simply unrealistic.
After the fraud was exposed, Chen Guangbiao had no choice but to admit that he had faked, and the so-called ice bucket was actually a bucket of 50-degree hot water with a layer of ice floes. Gradually, the public lost trust in Chen Guangbiao, and even his family began to be spurned by people. After that, Chen Guangbiao finally let go of the chase of the spotlight and became low-key.
It's just that the so-called "peeling" at the beginning was all inconsequential things in the end, Chen Guangbiao's dedication to charity is real, and there is nothing wrong with doing charity in a high-profile manner, but it is just not in line with the public's taste. If the high-profile of "Chen's Charity" can awaken everyone's heart to do charity and mobilize all walks of life to pay attention to the truth of charity, then what is wrong with him?
