I want to record the name of Chen Guangbiao in Chinese history.

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.

I intend to buy 'The New York Times.' Please don't take it as a joke.

Many rich people in China made their fortunes by damaging natural resources and building corrupt relations with the government.

I like to get my hands dirty. Talk is cheap.

It's hard to be a good philanthropist in China.

If my wisdom could get support from officials, I think society would move forward 20 years.
