As the song "Dedication of Love" sings, "As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world". Charity has never been exclusive to the rich. Each of us can help others from a small matter. Your little efforts may bring hope to others.
Today, the person we want to know is known as "the first philanthropist in a century", and his family background is quite controversial. He is a reform-through-labour prisoner, and now he is a billionaire with a net worth of 7 billion. This is Li Chunping.
At the age of 30, I lived with a rich American woman who was nearly 70 years old.
Li Chunping, 1949, was born in Huaiyin, Jiangsu, and his ancestral home was Linfen, Shandong. Li Chunping's father, Li Jiabao, is an old Red Army. It can be said that if Li Chunping had not died, his life would have been smooth sailing. However, there are not so many ifs in life, and young Li Chunping is not a well-behaved person.
1965, 16-year-old Li Chunping came to Beijing to study in a school in Beijing because of his father's job transfer. Shortly thereafter, due to the turmoil of that era, Li Chunping dropped out of school and idled around all day. His father didn't like his son fooling around like this every day, so he sent him to the army to be a soldier with his friends.
After retiring from the army, Li Chunping returned to his old idle life. Soon after, he was sentenced to three years in prison for "hooliganism" because his girlfriend had a fight with others and seriously injured his rival in love.
At that time, a reform-through-labour prisoner was looked down upon. Even a veteran, no unit is willing to use him. Li Chunping's parents disowned him and never saw him again.
At that time, Li Chunping, desperate at home, met the most important person in his life, and his life took a major turning point. It turns out that an American lady fell in love with the handsome Li Chunping at first sight. This lady is also a famous Hollywood actress. However, Li Chunping kept her identity tight-lipped, but some people guessed her identity according to the rich woman's legacy. Soon, Li Chunping agreed to the pursuit of the rich woman, returned to the United States with her as an adopted son, and became the lover of the American rich woman.
The rich woman inherited a large fortune after her death.
1989165438+10 month, I have been a lover of a rich woman for more than ten years, and registered marriage with her in the United States. Soon after, the rich woman died of illness, leaving Li Chunping a huge legacy of nearly 7 billion pounds, including three top Rolls-Royce cars, four paintings by Van Gogh and Picasso, and many properties of the rich woman.
After coming to America with this rich woman, Li Chunping was stunned by her wealth. When more than a dozen luxury cars pick up and drop off and accompany the rich woman to various parties, you can see the appearance of all kinds of big names. Li Chunping promised the rich woman that he would accompany her to death as long as she was allowed to emigrate. In this way, 13 years, he was with the rich woman every day.
After inheriting the inheritance, Li Chunping said that he only knew that the rich woman was rich, but he didn't know how rich she was. Later, Li Chunping told reporters that the rich woman loved him very much, but he had no love for her, only gratitude. And before the death of the rich woman, he appeared as the lover of the rich woman.
Li Chunping, who inherited a rich woman's huge fortune, was as shocked as ordinary people who won the sky-high lottery, and at the same time didn't know what to do with the money.
After returning to China, he engaged in charity and donated money crazily.
199 1 year, Li Chunping returned to China. At the beginning, he spent money like water, bought three Rolls Royce in one breath, built a villa in Huaqiao Village, and hired forty nannies and ten bodyguards.
After inheriting the inheritance, Li Chunping is simply the representative figure of "Fool makes more money". He took the initiative to find relatives and friends to send money, and then even seven aunts and eight aunts came to ask for money. Li Chunping also went online and gave everyone money. He supports his relatives and friends alone.
He was addicted to gambling for a while, but after losing 65.438+0.5 billion yuan at one time, he regretted it and couldn't go on like this. Then he began to do charity, but his charity was also very casual. In a word, he is "rich and willful".
He gave each of his former comrades 200,000 yuan, and he also gave money when someone pretended to be sick and asked him for help. According to media reports, Li Chunping donates at least 70,000 yuan every day. In the past twenty years, he has donated nearly 600 million yuan. In 2007, he invested in two charitable foundations. He was awarded the title of "China Red Cross Philanthropist" by the Red Cross Society, which is the first time that the China Red Cross Society has won this title in the past hundred years.
In 20 12, Li Chunping set up a fire fighting fund to subsidize firefighters disabled in various rescue operations. In order to prevent fraudulent donations and let students really get help, his donations in Guizhou are all direct cash, and the money is distributed to every child in need. This is real charity. Even if some people say that he is in name only, if he can really help people in need, what's wrong with name only?
Li Chunping also likes collecting antiques, so he was involved in a particularly large cultural relics smuggling case in 2002. Li Haitao claimed that most of the smuggled cultural relics were sold to Li Chunping. Li Chunping said that he just likes collecting antiques. He doesn't know the origin of antiques, otherwise he would never buy them.
Suffering from Alzheimer's disease, the evening scene is bleak.
In 20 16, Li Chunping was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and his memory began to decline. He doesn't know the people around him and forgets many things.
After his illness, his family and the staff around him began to compete for property in various ways, including his sister and the old employees who followed him for more than 20 years. When he was in a nursing home, he was robbed by someone who used to be his employee. When the police found him, he only remembered that he had signed many contracts, and the amount involved in these contracts was very large.
Today, Li Chunping has become a "pawn" for all parties to compete for property. Not only has it not been taken good care of, but it is also facing various disputes.
We ordinary people can only look at Li Chunping's experience and express some regrets. We also hope that the life of the elderly in Li Chunping will be happier in the future.
