Mr. Chen Jiageng, respectable and respectable

A kind old grandfather, his hair was white and smiling, and his weather-beaten face was covered with wrinkles. Time flies, his smile is fixed at this moment. Although this is only a black and white photo, but his gaze of God, but always shows his patriotism. He is the famous Mr. Tan Kah Kee. Xiamen University, Jimei Middle School. These famous schools are all founded by him, but his life is very simple. Maybe you will be stupid for him, donate your own money, and exchange for a simple life. But you are wrong.

In the socially turbulent China, those wealthy people just took care of themselves, and when Chen Jiageng’s career reached its peak, it only cost about one or two million yuan. Among the Chinese entrepreneurs at that time, the number of people richer than him was not Less, but only he is a national and national scholar, and he has consistently generously donated money. I have lived a very simple life in my life. Chen Jiageng said: "The people's wisdom is not open, the people's minds are not harmonious, enlighten the people's wisdom, contribute to the revolution, and help save the country. It is very clear. Education is a cause of generations and is a fundamental measure to improve the national cultural level, no matter when it is needed. In the spirit and motives of the above-mentioned school, he did not hesitate to run a school, and contributed a lot to the motherland, but he lived very simple, only when this endangered the moment, he saw his patriotism.

In 1921, Chen Jiageng pledged a start-up fee of 1 million yuan, and the annual fee was 12 million yuan in 12 years. He founded 17 departments of Xiamen University. He has maintained alone for 16 years. Later, the world economic downturn severely hit overseas Chinese enterprises. In the face of the difficult situation, Chen Jiageng said with a firm attitude: "Ning can sell buildings and support Xiamen University." He sold his three buildings as a fund to sustain Xiamen University. Chen Jiageng invested in education. He hoped that people with lofty ideals would continue to cheer up on China. Therefore, despite the closing of the company, they still raised the school fees and supported them with arduous efforts. Such a great man, even if he is ruined, always thinks about the motherland. Seeing his case, my heart is shocked. Many of today's schools have met the hearts of many children who are eager to read. They are eager for the rain of knowledge to water their dry hearts. It was Chen Jiageng that made these children have their dreams. I think he is worth learning.

However, this wealthy Tan Kah Kee built dozens of majestic high-rise buildings for Jimei and Xiamen University. His home is a simple two-story building. It is small and dark, and it is inconvenient, but he is very comfortable. His life is hard and simple, and he is arrogant. Beds, writing desks, sofas, mosquito nets, etc. are all ancient. Outerwear, pants, shoes, and socks are all patched. His family has millions of properties. In his later years, he set a low standard for himself. He is five cents a day. He often eats sweet potato porridge, peanuts, dried beans, fermented bean curd and a fish. The motto of his practice is: "The money that should be used, the millions of millions should not be pity, the money that should not be used, and the one should not be wasted." What a respectable and respectable great man.

Will you still think he is stupid here? No, although he lived a simple life, the fair person in history recorded his contribution, the little things he dedicated to the motherland. His contribution is worthwhile and meaningful. It is true that while we enjoy this knowledge of rain and dew, don't forget Mr. Chen Jiageng, don't forget the hard-working people. Study hard, go up every day, and serve the motherland. This is his wish. We can't live up to his efforts. And we should learn that he is the spirit, carry forward his spirit, and dedication to society and the country in the future.
