Bill Gates could persuade the Chinese rich multi-line charity do?
Chinese people should be aware that, once the world's richest man, Microsoft founder Bill Gates a few years ago personal wealth (more than 500 billion U.S. dollars) all go to charity, the world's second oldest Bakefeile in turn handed over 80% of the wealth Gates, together with care, Mr. Bill Gates is said to remain only a few millions of dollars to start their own children, when once the consternation of Chinese Internet users address him, he is a contemporary, "Huolei Feng", "Yang Lei Feng" , but also many of China's richest people compare their extravagant at the same time, almost unwilling to contribute to the community in charitable attitude of emotion, struggling charity in China the status quo may be used as a heartless rich to describe China's rich are not as too. Because of this, Bill Gates, who is now known as the world's richest full-time philanthropist, will soon visit China, but also to China's main purpose is to actually "will launch a campaign to encourage the richest Chinese people charitable magnanimous act. "
According to Xinhua quoted Beijing February 1 Agence France-Presse reported that Bill Gates during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland at a press conference, said: "I will certainly go there (China), we will work with those who are considering engaging in charity Business people who Cuxi and talk. "He said:" Some Chinese people to become successful people, in my opinion this is exciting news. But is China like the United States, there are many rich people put their own wealth and Time dedicated to helping those most in need of help the cause, it remains to be seen. "Obviously, Bill Gates seems to convince China that is rich in the eyes of those he called" successful people "are full of confidence to join charities, but For many years the Chinese people's own observations, it is estimated most likely this is Mr. Bill Gates "to a gentleman's belly-degree small-heart", at least I see little likelihood of his success, even in this high-profile to China will let those Chinese tycoons who dared touch it, and the past, the hottest in stark contrast.
Why is Bill Gates tried to persuade China's richest charity more than one line might be OK, China came back with nothing? In fact, this is China's social reality and moral standards as a whole even with a consistent rich China for the heartless rich tradition is directly relevant, we should first admit that today's China is not short of rich, in the latest Fortune list, the Chinese millionaire the number of the world's sixth highest, but the numbers are rapidly increasing, Deal or No Deal in China's richest variety of luxury, which often is always to make the world wonder, the world's most luxury goods in China, on worries about can not find buyers, so why even though China has a so many of the rich do not see the national philanthropy is developed? Instead, we have repeatedly Ironically, those in the West greedy rich decadent capitalist countries were Quedui community charities it this way? We should first of all from China, the so-called wealthy class to analyze the composition of China's richest (It should be said that the mainland's richest) can generally be divided into four categories, one category is really the times on their own, from scratch, hard-working hard to create together, these people seem to particularly value based on the traditional concept of the hard-earned wealth; and those others who rely on free-riding, collusion, or the use of fictitious possession of the reform is nothing but unethical way of state-owned assets accumulated by means of a step by step, the original capital, it was said is the original sin-type capital accumulation, is the cost of reform, these wealthy family background can be forgiven, it is hard to believe that these greedy opportunists will be interested in social charity; third category are those entertainment or sports stars, of course, will be There are other intellectuals, and their money was easy, personal qualities are also uneven, China has basically performed prior to a lot of charity seems to have only these stars are engaged in activities to demonstrate what point, but is hard to say how much they have charitable capacity, called Li seems to be limited to their own circle of; fourth class of persons would not have made it clear that in China there is a large number of corrupt officials, the table under the Volvo group is a real guy overflowing with riches, but because is the black money, so basically no possibility of being put into charity. Based on China's reform and opening up the past does not exist in the so-called wealthy classes, even more than four rich, but also generally are regarded as the letter of the upstart, which means China's richest more nouveau riche who are basically , let upstart who donate money, would not be futile thing, it seems harder to achieve the moral standards Puji social realm.
Bill Gates hope "and the Chinese
Those considering engaging in philanthropy of the rich Cuxi and talk ", trying to convince them to engage in philanthropy, apparently China's richest have seen the lack of social responsibility, but he seems confident, but I think he will be disappointed at least for now; first Chinese point of view of personal wealth on their own from the traditional there are major errors, with the Western countries seem to contribute to the community's traditional beliefs poles apart, the Chinese people in most of these are small-awareness, particularly rich people, money is their own, into the pockets on the other want to go out, and the money is to buy a house after the purchase, the money to themselves the enjoyment for future generations can, but must not be donated out of their own dead, buried with money prefer to burn with their own, can not show it to strangers , it is assumed that the wealth is Yijizhisi or subsequently Yijizhisi tools, people forget that wealth flows from the source perfection of society, people forget the road trip to Things for the People category of public justice, civilization and enlightenment of the people Westerners do not accumulate wealth for God's Puritan ethic, so that today there is the pursuit of wealth In addition to the success of the collective unconscious identity, thus leaving only the greed of its concentration of wealth can be described as psychological. Secondly, we see at present In many cases China's charities are only sporadic on the public's donations, it was not that mainly depends on the nature of issuing various kinds of welfare lottery gambling, few would have billionaires in peacetime than in Western countries to donate some of the rich, as wealth set up a special fund; in foreign countries, the rich are actively involved in charities and to charitable donations in return for society, an important means to help the weak. Last year, the world's second richest, 75-year-old U.S. investor Warren Buffett donation to sign a letter of intent a formal decision of the wealth of its 85% - about 370 billion U.S. dollars, donated to five charitable foundations, including Bill and Melinda Gates charitable foundation received donations of about 300 billion U.S. dollars. As for the Bill and Melinda Gates, has donated a more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, and has signed the good will, after the death of millions of dollars in addition to leaving their children, the remaining more than 99% of the property will be donated to the community without reservation. According to statistics, 2000 to-2004 years, the 50 largest U.S. philanthropist contributions amounted to 65 billion U.S. dollars. Even in Hong Kong, the rich are also actively involved in community philanthropy. Hong Kong's richest man, Li Ka-shing out of huge sums of money on many occasions the donor community, also announced in August the previous year, the future will 1 / 3 of individuals Property donated to the Li Ka Shing Foundation. to Li Ka-shing's property at about 150 billion Hong Kong dollar terms, the Foundation will increase to about 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, which will be the maximum amount of Chinese private foundation in one. while the mainland of China there are "rich man's heartless "argument. from the China Charity Federation statistics show that mainland China has more than 80% of the richest of social wealth, but the proportion of charitable donations less than 15%, so-called heartless, does not seem to slander China The rich are, or else why only the Chinese public is always like "Chou Fu" mean? other people this is no reason to Chou Fu, the world's hatred for no reason at present there is no key or the rich man's own behavior while.
So why is widespread in China, rich people for rich and unscrupulous phenomenon? This is not only the traditional factors, there is also the reality of China's social problems, first by the traditional concept of the impact of a general lack of social responsibility of the rich. In China, 5,000 years of cultural and moral traditions to enable people to form a "father's sub-contractors," such a concept, father laid Jiangshan future generations is to leave with the others irrelevant. "Fortune taken from the community will also have an appropriate return on society" is just a car scholars affective thoughts and aspirations. Its hard to lay all devoted to become entrenched, and was to have been others laugh, were descendants of cursing. So, the rich would rather let their children go home, Wan Ku big spenders, but also refused to those who have an emergency life-saving cold homes of excellence. As the big star Chow Yun-Fat said: "I am one billion net worth to be donated to charity in the future, of course, a relative to stay in enough are used, otherwise they will be scolded for." Second, lack of supervision of philanthropy so that the rich have lost confidence. To go where the money donated is used to help whom bosses certainly hope that the heart knows, belly-ming, Yan Liang. However, in China there are so afraid of a large number of supernatural powers, the general who had been playing days thunder people, disaster relief to help the poor in his own pocket to take Dugan, engage in money and goods to charitable organizations, what is not? Then appeared such a phenomenon: the enthusiasm of people donated, and the relevant institutions closed, and the suffering of people have simply not feeling the side. Therefore, many wealthy people would prefer to go it alone to engage in some one-scale development projects are no longer helping the cause of as less enthusiastic about the. And more of the wealthy on when eating Yaba Kui, the wallet closed, will not tell you to play. This is not only heard, but also witnessed before. Third, the returns too low to discourage the rich. Men are not saints, are a bit utilitarian mind. Done charity, wants nothing wrong point of return. But in China, doing charity often make ends meet. On the one hand the negative public opinion is always prevail, it hurt heart. Good suspicion, said the Chinese people well, especially for the actress, the network developed after the more reckless. Yang Lan then the company's shares used as a charity, is the world talk a good meal; Sun Li subsidizes the poor college students, but faced a Bushihaodai, and got cheaper still refused to sell the well-behaved, which makes a harassment. Who wants to be as well-intentioned Hepatopulmonary donkey? The other hand, those countries not only failed to special care and charity, and the total as being taken advantage of. Some entrepreneurs complain that foreign charities engaged in tax cuts there is a corresponding benefit, but in China there is no good engaging in charitable, philanthropic bigger the contrary, will be a big tree attracts the wind, was focused stare, prevention and investigation. In addition, the state propaganda is not enough philanthropy, but also to make philanthropy unattractive. Many enterprises, the boss of charity to do the deep intention is to expand its own influence, but due to fall silent after done, but also a serious impact on their enthusiasm.
So I do not optimistic about the current China tour Bill Gates can say the Chinese tycoons who move more than charity, because whether it is from China, rich composition, a source of wealth or the Chinese society's traditional and moral status quo is not that he can "Cuxi The talk about "can be solved, at best, only be a good intentions, there is a saying in the West, charity is a kind of justice, while China currently seems to be a lack of morality and justice, some experts pointed out, not so much love in our society resources are limited, as it is the justice of our scarce resources, not so much the scarcity of love and justice, it is better to say that our way of life is not perfect. Those who have possession of the wealth of resources for the life of society who lost their imagination, they will struggle as rich as rich, only infinitely repeating the process amass wealth, charitable foundations and its related charities just cause difficult in China, but also the number of confirmed this point.
Bill Gates to come to China to promote richest charity, whether or not effective, regardless of whether there would be China's richest really meet him, I would like to have a certain number of positive significance, at least let those upstarts are in Bill Gates produced before the comparison of psychological, as he said "China would like the United States, there are many rich people put their own wealth and time dedicated to helping those most in need of help the cause, it remains to be seen." Perhaps he would achieve the purpose of observation, China is not what he imagined China.
