Chinese people like to do things with a low profile; they do not like to expose their wealth.
Even though I am smiling, I have some suffering in my heart.
If my wisdom could get support from officials, I think society would move forward 20 years.
I want to record the name of Chen Guangbiao in Chinese history.
If you put a brick on my head and break it, I will be fine.
My individual power is limited. I want to use my high-profile way to wake people up to take action together to do good things. I can only awake them with my performance art and creativity.
For lots of people who became rich, they believe they earned their fortune through hard work. They don't think about society and only want to leave their fortune to their children.
I'm a rich man, but I don't want to be a miser.
Although there are people saying I'm putting on a show, I'm hoping more will emulate my 'performance.' If more people did, more needy people would get help.
I don't know anything about propaganda for Chinese reunification. I only know about charity and environmental work. I just want to do good.
I have a responsibility to devote my energy to my country and my people.
I have to be grateful to our society here in China, grateful to the economic reforms for letting me get rich, and grateful for the efforts of my staff. If there had been no reforms, I would have been a farmer.
Whenever I see people in difficulty, I just try to help them. In fact, I believe I have helped over 700,000 people in my life.
I want to tell mayors, county chiefs and heads of big companies: don't just chase GDP growth; don't chase the biggest profits at the expense of our children and grandchildren and at the cost of sacrificing our ecological environment.
Society needs hundreds of hundreds of thousands of Chen Guangbiaos.
I want to spread the message in the U.S. that there are good philanthropists in China, and not all are crazy spenders on luxury goods.
The world needs a person like me so that many other rich people will be able to follow my role model. If they do, many poor people will be helped.
Many rich people in China made their fortunes by damaging natural resources and building corrupt relations with the government.
If you have only a glass of water, then one person can drink. If you have a bucket, a whole family can benefit.
My goal is to work diligently to become the top philanthropist in the world.
