Eccentric Chinese tycoon Chen Guangbiao took out a full-page bilingual advertisement in the New York Times, inviting underprivileged Americans to a charity lunch and offering cash handouts. According to Chinese media reports, the ad appeared in the New York Times print edition on Monday, announcing that Chen would host a charity luncheon at New York Central Park's Loeb Boathouse on June 25 for 1,000 "poor and destitute Americans". Each participant would also receive $300. Chen, who is known for theatrical philanthropic stunts, has a photo of himself in the ad placed side-by-side with a picture of Lei Feng, a Chinese soldier from the Mao-era who is celebrated as a selfless model citizen. The title above the images says, "China's 'Lei Feng for a new era.'" Those who wish to join the luncheon need to RSVP via a Hotmail email address. Chen said he was hoping the lunch would show the US that there are Chinese philanthropists. "There are many wealthy Chinese billionaires but most of them gained their wealth from market speculation and colluding with government officials while destroying the environment. I can't bear the sight of it," Chen told theSouth China Morning Post. Making his fortune from recycling domestic waste and construction materials in China, Chen has been in the media spotlight in recent years for his dramatic publicity stunts promoting philanthropic causes. He arrived at the scene of the 2013 Lushan earthquake in Sichuan just hours after the disaster took place and personally handed out cash to the victims. Chen has also tried unsuccessfully to buy the New York Times as part of his ongoing campaign to develop closer ties between US and China. He recently expressed a desire to reignite discussions to buy the paper's opinionsection and fill it with articles about environmental protection and charity. Founder of the Huangpu Renewable Resources Utilization Group, Chen has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to various charitable causes over the years and has made it more than once onto Forbes' list of Asia's leading philanthropists. But not everyone is taken with Chen's flashy generosity. Jeremy Goldkorn, director of Chinese media research firm Danwei, says: "Chen is a clown whose so-called philanthropy appears to consist entirely of self-promotional stunts like giving handouts of cash in Taipei and New York, and cans of air to people in China." Goldkorn has also tweeted that Chen is the "greatest insult to the Chinese people." Other critics find it difficult to take Chen seriously when his English namecard lists an absurdly long string of self-aggrandizing titles, including "Most Charismatic Philanthropist of China." |
據(jù)CNN報(bào)道，中國大亨陳光標(biāo)在紐約時(shí)報(bào)刊登整版雙語廣告，邀請(qǐng)美國弱勢(shì)人群吃慈善午餐，并發(fā)放現(xiàn)金。 這則廣告出現(xiàn)在周一的《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》印刷版，廣告稱陳光標(biāo)將于6月25日在紐約中央公園為1000名“貧困美國人”舉辦一場(chǎng)慈善午宴，每位參加者還將獲得300美元。 陳光標(biāo)一向以其特立獨(dú)行的慈善方式而廣為人知。在廣告中他將有自己的照片和雷鋒的照片并列。雷鋒是一個(gè)毛澤東時(shí)代的士兵，被贊譽(yù)為無私的模范公民。照片上面的標(biāo)題為，“中國新時(shí)代的雷鋒?！?/p> 希望參加午餐的人需要給一個(gè)Hotmail電子郵件地址盡快回復(fù)。 陳光標(biāo)說，他希望通過這次午餐告訴美國中國是有慈善家的。 “中國有很多富豪，但大多數(shù)人的財(cái)富是通過市場(chǎng)投機(jī)和勾結(jié)政府官員獲得的，而且還破壞環(huán)境。我不能忍受這種現(xiàn)象，”陳光標(biāo)在接受《南華早報(bào)》采訪時(shí)說。 通過在中國回收生活垃圾和建筑材料發(fā)家的陳光標(biāo)，用夸張的宣傳來推動(dòng)慈善事業(yè)，近年來一直受到媒體關(guān)注。2013年四川蘆山地震發(fā)生僅幾個(gè)小時(shí)候，他就到達(dá)地震災(zāi)區(qū)，并親自給災(zāi)民發(fā)放現(xiàn)金。 陳光標(biāo)還試圖收購《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》，盡管沒有成功，但這是他發(fā)展更緊密中美關(guān)系活動(dòng)中的一部分。 他最近表示希望重新開始與《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》商討打算購買報(bào)紙中讀者意見版面，全部發(fā)表環(huán)保和慈善事業(yè)的文章。 陳光標(biāo)是黃埔再生資源利用集團(tuán)創(chuàng)始人，多年來已向各種慈善事業(yè)捐贈(zèng)巨資，不止一次榮登福布斯亞洲慈善英雄榜。 但并非所有人都認(rèn)同陳光標(biāo)的浮夸的慷慨行為。 中國媒體研究公司單位網(wǎng)的主管金玉米（Jeremy Goldkorn）說：“陳光標(biāo)是一個(gè)小丑，其所謂的慈善事業(yè)似乎完全是由自我宣傳的噱頭組成的，比如在臺(tái)北和紐約發(fā)放現(xiàn)金，給中國人發(fā)放灌裝空氣?！?/p> 其他批評(píng)者在發(fā)現(xiàn)它的英文名片后也覺得對(duì)其不能太當(dāng)真。他的英文名片中列出了一大串自我炫耀的頭銜，其中包括列出的自我夸大冠軍，其中包括“中國最有魅力的慈善家”。 （譯者 feilongmengjian 編輯 丹妮） 掃一掃，關(guān)注微博微信
