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.

One summer vacation, I carried water to the town market to sell it, and I used some of the money I made to help a neighbour.

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.

I'm a rich man, but I don't want to be a miser.

Starting my business has been very hard work. I have received no help from any officials at all.

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.

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

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

If you have only a glass of water, then one person can drink. If you have a bucket, a whole family can benefit.
