Chen Guangbiao's difficult childhood
Chen Guangbiao was born in a remote mountain village in the 60s of the last century, where the barren land was barely enough to grow some food to fill his stomach. He also has two older brothers and an older sister, and a family of six lives in a humble adobe house, living in isolation.
Whenever the harvest was poor, the Chen family had to face the dilemma of insufficient food rations. Chen Guangbiao still remembers that when he was a child, he always held a bowl and waited for his mother to scoop the thin porridge into the bowl, and then devoured it.
At that time, the frequent floods and droughts led to poor harvests, and sometimes the Chen family could not even eat a full meal, so they could only gnaw some tree bark to satisfy their hunger. The hardships and ups and downs of this childhood have become the deepest shadow of Chen Guangbiao's memory.
What makes Chen Guangbiao even more painful is that his two older brothers and only sister died of malnutrition and illness in childhood, and his mother wailed about this. Faced with the death of a loved one, the young Chen Guangbiao was full of panic and anxiety.
He understands that in order to survive, he must work hard to earn a living.
After school, Chen Guangbiao always carried a heavy burden and walked several miles to the county seat to set up a stall. He excitedly put the vegetables he grew and the specialties of his hometown on the shoulders, shouting "fresh and good vegetables, sell them cheaply to everyone", hoping to sell something.
Sometimes you can earn a few cents with good luck, and when you earn a lot, you can have ten or twenty dollars, which is already very considerable for a primary school student.
Chen Guangbiao would also run to the village well, carry two buckets of water on his shoulder, and carry it to the market to sell. He shouted "one penny for one water", and the low price attracted many passers-by to come and fetch water.
Although the profit per bucket of water is meager, relying on the accumulation of quantity, Chen Guangbiao can also earn two or three cents a day, which is already a lot of money for a small child.
Although life is still difficult, Chen Guangbiao did not get discouraged and gave up. He knows how to create hope for life through his own efforts, which has become an important spiritual pillar in his fight against poverty.
Poverty may have limited his life, but it also forged Chen's hard-working qualities, which laid the foundation for his future career.
Study hard and resume trading
Under the baptism of childhood, Chen Guangbiao understood that only reading can change his fate. So he seized the rare opportunity to study Xi and worked hard. After school, he always lies on the low table, does his homework carefully, and then opens his textbook to carefully prepare Xi.
Sometimes when he had a difficult problem, he would think hard under the lamp and not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
In high school, Chen Guangbiao's academic Xi grades were among the best. Teachers and classmates praised him for his hard-working spirit and courage to climb new heights. With the encouragement of his teacher, Chen Guangbiao applied for the coveted university medicine major, and successfully passed the exam with his own strength, and stepped into the university gate as he wished.
During his college years, Chen Guangbiao did not slack off because of a slightly affluent life, and he still maintained a hard-working character. In order to alleviate the financial burden on his family, Chen Guangbiao relied on his excellent business ability to undertake some substitute tutoring work in the school, and actively made up lessons for his classmates to earn extra money.
At the same time, he regained his experience in buying and selling in the past, and spent his weekends shopping for scarce supplies, such as popsicles, which were in short supply at the time, as well as agricultural and sideline products such as hometown specialties, and then sold them on campus at low prices to make a small profit.
Chen Guangbiao rode a dilapidated bicycle, running back and forth to deliver goods, sometimes earning dozens of yuan a day, which is already considerable for a college student.
After graduating from university, Chen Guangbiao was faced with a career choice. The salary offered by the county hospital was too low to meet his determination to realize his dream of starting a business. So resolutely, Chen Guangbiao chose to resign from his public job and return to his hometown to start a business again.
Back in his hometown, Chen Guangbiao first ran a small shop. But due to lack of experience, it failed in less than a year. This is an important and painful lesson for Chen Guangbiao.
However, he was not discouraged, but reflected and summarized, and after careful consideration, he finally founded a medical device company in his hometown. With industry expertise and innovative business acumen, Chen Guangbiao finally changed his fortunes and made the company a quick success.
Career take-off, be kind and charitable
After founding a medical device company in his hometown, Chen Guangbiao devoted himself to the construction of his career. He works diligently, mingles with employees, and always pays attention to market dynamics to ensure the quality of the company's products.
With excellent professional knowledge and rich industry experience, Chen Guangbiao has developed a variety of practical and easy-to-operate medical device products, which are well received by customers. The response to the launch of these innovative products has been overwhelming, and sales have continued to rise.
The company's performance is also booming, and the scale continues to expand.
Over the past ten years, Chen Guangbiao's company has developed into a leading enterprise in the medical industry, with an output value of more than 100 million yuan and a huge profit. As a result, he accumulated considerable wealth and realized the counterattack of the poor Confucian becoming a rich man.
After his career was successful, Chen Guangbiao did not rest on his laurels. With his knowledge in the medical profession, he saw a lack of resources in primary care. So he actively participated in public welfare undertakings and donated generously.
In the 90s of the 20th century, Chen Guangbiao began to donate to his hometown and remote mountainous areas to build schools, roads and bridges. He has donated tens of millions of yuan every year, which has greatly improved local education and transportation conditions.
The villagers were sincerely grateful to Chen Guangbiao for his great kindness.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Chen Guangbiao took action as soon as possible. He led the company's employees to the disaster area and drove a large number of relief materials.
The scene was badly damaged and injured everywhere. Chen Guangbiao personally participated in the rescue and successfully rescued nearly 200 trapped people.
For a whole month, Chen Guangbiao and his staff have been on the front lines of the earthquake. Despite the difficult environment, everyone is fighting on the front line. Chen Guangbiao's benevolence and benevolence have touched countless people.
That year, he was hailed as "China's first good" and became famous.
Became famous overnight, fell overnight
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Chen Guangbiao fought on the front line of the earthquake, saved countless people, and won the reputation of "China's first kindness". For a time, he rose to fame and became a moral model of the year.
At the disaster relief site, reporters rushed to interview and report on Chen Guangbiao's deeds. His dedication has touched countless readers and netizens. Public opinion cheered and praised Chen Guangbiao as a great benevolent person who brought hope to the people during this difficult period.
However, the good times were short-lived. In 2009, an image of Chen Guangbiao standing in front of a banknote wall went viral. In the picture, he looks proud, and the huge "wall" of RMB numbers behind him is particularly eye-catching.
As soon as this photo came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Many netizens accused Chen of deliberately flaunting his wealth and questioned his impure philanthropic motives. Some people even speculated that he made profits through illegal means, using charity as a guise to cover people's eyes.
For a time, all kinds of rumors spread. But in the face of doubts, Chen Guangbiao did not respond positively, but chose to remain silent. He was never seen in the public eye again, and all public events were cancelled.
In this way, the reputation of public opinion was turned upside down overnight. People were surprised to find that the originally beautiful "Shoushan" seemed to disappear overnight, as if the thief had a weak heart.
As a result, the voices of doubt are getting higher and higher, and they have called Chen Guangbiao the "first fraud".
This sudden change actually reflects the public's suspicion of the good intentions of celebrities. The complete collapse of Chen Guangbiao's public welfare image also indicates the direction of the changing times.
With the rapid growth of the economy, there is also increased scrutiny of the rich and powerful. Anyone who wants to build a good image on philanthropy must stand the test.
Otherwise, the doubts of public opinion will make the reputation disappear overnight.
Chen's experience is a microcosm of a period of social transformation. It teaches people that morality and conduct must not only be substantive, but also stand the test of all parties in order to be invincible.
Low-key good deeds, precipitation of life
The doubts of public opinion made Chen Guangbiao understand that good deeds do not need to be publicized too much. As a result, he chose to withdraw from the public eye and continue his philanthropic work in a more restrained way.
Chen Guangbiao shifted his focus back to the company and plunged headlong into product development and team building. He focused more on improving the company's social responsibility and launched a number of public welfare projects to help poor patients.
A number of low-cost medical devices newly developed by the company are directly donated to health centers in remote mountainous areas. These products have greatly improved the medical conditions of the poor.
Chen Guangbiao also regularly sends employees into the mountains for free clinics, and he occasionally participates.
While avoiding the public eye, Chen Guangbiao's annual donation has not decreased, and even exceeded. He just stopped deliberately going public to avoid attracting criticism.
During the holidays, Chen Guangbiao still drives back to his hometown and lives a simple rural life. He wakes up early and works in the dark, planting rice with the villagers, and then pushing a cart to transport the harvest back to the warehouse.
This simple labor made him feel the roots of life.
Chen Guangbiao's two sons also inherited their father's kindness. The eldest son returned to China after studying in the United States to start a business that produced life-saving medicines and provided them to the poor at low prices. The youngest son chose music composition and regularly taught music lessons in remote areas.
Chen Guangbiao was relieved to see that the children had a sense of justice and a broad vision. He now lives a simple and quiet life, not pursuing fame and public exposure as before.
Chen Guangbiao seems to have found his own state of life, which is also the precipitation of his life.
The foundation of kindness, enthusiasm to help
Chen Guangbiao's life experience contains profound enlightenment. He went from a poor career to great success in entrepreneurship and actively participated in public welfare. Although he was questioned by public opinion in the middle, he did not stop.
Chen Guangbiao saw fame and fortune and chose to do good in a low-key manner. He understands that the essence of good deeds should not be for image and praise, but should come from the heart and help each other passionately.
We should not read too much into a person's motives, but rather look at the results of their actions. Over the years, Chen Guangbiao's good deeds have indeed helped a large number of poor people and improved basic education and medical and health conditions.
That's all that matters.
His story is also a reflection on the fact that an act of kindness may need to be tested before 能️ it can prove its worth. But as long as there is goodness in the heart, the criticism of the outside world does not matter.
Doing good in a low-key manner can also brighten the lives of others.
More and more wealthy people are devoting themselves to public welfare, which is a gratifying trend. We should encourage this kind of warm-heartedness and pass on more positive energy. Even if the power is small, as long as you have a heart to help others, you can make this society a better place.
Chen's life journey continues. He will continue to sow the seeds of goodness in another way. I believe that his good deeds will infect and inspire more people, so that warmth will always bloom in every corner of this world.
