Huang Zhongxian lives in Bilida Building, Huli District, Xiamen. He is 84 years old this year, but except for some deafness, he is still strong and cheerful. He's not that old at all.

Huang Zhongxian is a billionaire, but he doesn't have the airs and manners of a rich man at all. There are ordinary sofas, tables and chairs in the room, no luxurious fashion equipment and even no air conditioning. On a hot day, there are only two electric fans in several rooms. His clothes are simple. A dress was bought by his assistant from a stall in Hong Kong, and it was only in 28 yuan.

At noon the first day, I was invited to his house for lunch. He and his family, company employees *** 12 people, the food is too general. If someone else is so old and rich, it's time for him to enjoy it, but he is very comfortable with such a simple life. When I asked him why he lived like this, he repeatedly replied, "That's enough for me!" " Then he added, "People who pay attention to great enjoyment will eventually fail!" Huang Zhongxian is so stingy with his family, but he is very generous with social welfare. So far, he has donated hundreds of millions of yuan. He was praised by the villagers as "the second Chen Jiageng".

Before I met Huang Zhongxian, who would have thought that this billionaire turned out to be a poor child coming out of a ravine? 1920, Huang Zhongxian was born in a poor peasant family in Xiandu Village, Matou Town, Nan 'an, Fujian. My father is very strict in discipline. It is often said that the most important principles of being a man are: diligence, simplicity, honesty and enterprising.

15 years old, Huang Zhongxian's physique is not good enough, not as high as a pole. He decided to go to Nanyang, boarded a small ship from Xiamen, crossed the ocean, arrived in Indonesia, and found the eldest brother who arrived first. This is the most important turning point in Huang Zhongxian's life. In the "land of a thousand islands", Huang Zhongxian became a rich man in the overseas Chinese community by being able to endure hardships, dare to work hard, and rely on "honesty" to seize business opportunities and work hard.

Loving the motherland is the traditional virtue of overseas Chinese. Most overseas Chinese have a "motherland" complex in their hearts. A poem once described it as follows: Tiananmen Square in Beijing is the largest pier in the motherland. No matter where and how far a wanderer goes, the iron anchor in his heart will always be left here. Huang Zhongxian said on various occasions, including speaking to students, "I tell you, the most important thing is to love your country and your country!" "Huang Zhongxian has lived abroad for 70 years, and he is deeply saddened to see the people of China being bullied and discriminated against. He told the author: overseas Chinese cannot live without the motherland; The motherland is not strong!

Mr Huang Zhongxian's patriotism is not in words, but in deeds. He believes that without the prosperity of the country, there will be no status for overseas Chinese; Revitalizing education and improving the cultural quality of China people in an all-round way is the road to strengthening the country. Therefore, for decades, he has always regarded donating money to promote education and help the poor and educate people as his long-cherished wish.

Since 1959, more than 40 teaching buildings, science buildings and dormitory buildings have been donated to more than 20 primary and secondary schools in Nan 'an, and Anxi No.1 Middle School and Changting Hope Primary School have been aided, which has greatly improved the running conditions of these schools. Huang Zhongxian not only devotes himself to education construction, but also sponsors other public welfare undertakings. He donated seven outpatient and ward buildings to five hospitals in Nan 'an, and also donated Nan 'an Maternal and Child Health Station, Children's Paradise and Overseas Chinese Federation Building. In particular, he donated the first dermatosis prevention and treatment hospital in Fujian Province in Nan 'an, purchased health care equipment, and personally visited the leprosy hospital to express condolences to patients and distributed solatium. In order to carry forward the excellent national culture and prosper Fujian literature, 199 1 established the annual "Huang Zhongxian Prize for Literature", which has been selected for 12 times, and many outstanding works have won awards. Last year, Huang Zhongxian's public welfare undertakings also extended to the old revolutionary base areas, and donated 200,000 yuan to the Fujian Provincial Association for the Promotion of the Construction of Old Revolutionary Base Areas to help the poor "five elders" and the descendants of revolutionary martyrs with excellent academic performance; This year, the funds donated to the Fujian Provincial Association for the Promotion of the Aged increased to 750,000 yuan.

At the end of May, Huang Zhongxian sent his "son", Mr. Lin Zaifa, deputy general manager of Xiamen Bilida Real Estate Development Company, to personally represent his old people to Nanjing and Pinghe to distribute a large sum of grants to poor students in the old areas. The scope of Mr. Huang Lao's help to needy villagers is expanding. Over the past 40 years, more than several hundred million yuan has been invested in society.

Huang Zhongxian gradually produced the "Golden Rooster Mother" plan in his uninterrupted donation activities. He believes that putting money in the bank cannot guarantee great achievements for many years; If you invest in the foundation, set up an industry for the foundation and let it operate and develop independently, the money will be "alive" and the foundation will have a lot of financial resources. He said humorously, it's like keeping a "golden rooster" that can lay eggs constantly. Now he has two "golden cocks", and all his eggs are used to fund public welfare undertakings and a large number of poor children. A "golden rooster mother" is in Nan 'an Chengguan. After Huang Zhongxian sold the huge property of Indonesia and Hong Kong and brought it back to the motherland, in 1993, the Bilida Building with 12 floors above ground and 2 floors underground was built in Nan 'an Chengguan, with a construction area of 1.26 million square meters. As a permanent industry of Nanhuang Anzhongxian Education Foundation, the Foundation is currently an education in Fujian Province. At the same time, he also invested10.50 billion yuan to build another bigger Bilida building in Xiamen, which is a "golden rooster" as the permanent industry of Xiamen Huang Zhongxian Fund, earning about10.00 billion yuan a year. These funds will be used to carry out a wide range of scholarships, teaching, student assistance and poverty alleviation activities. One day in February, 2002, a shocking news came from the notary office in Xiamen, saying that an Indonesian returned overseas Chinese made a will and asked for notarization, so that his descendants would not inherit hundreds of millions of wealth. The person who made this will is Mr Huang Zhongxian. It is stated in the will that Xiamen Bilida Building will never be sold, mortgaged, ceded or rebuilt, and the property right will always belong to Xiamen Huang Zhongxian Foundation. All the profits from perennial rental will be used to support the welfare of science education in the motherland, and to fund and reward extremely poor and outstanding students. After his death, the legal heirs of his family can't have any rights and interests, nor can they ask for inheritance or division of the industry. In order to ensure the execution of the will, his first wife and son respectively notarized the law and formally agreed with Mr. Huang's decision, without objection. Huang Zhongxian made such a will in advance, in order to prevent "Golden Rooster Mother" from flying because of personnel changes, and his public welfare undertakings can be continued from generation to generation! Such a will can be said to be unique in the world, and it is the highest embodiment of Mr. Huang Zhongxian's personality.

It is not difficult for a person to do a good deed. The hard thing is to do good for a long time and do good for a lifetime. Huang Zhongxian spent most of his life doing good deeds, but never asked for anything in return. Even the more than 40 buildings he donated didn't bear his name. Most buildings are named after their hometown "Xiandu", or they are commonly called "Yin Hua Building" and "Jizhi Building", but only their father's name or "Nianci Building" is used individually to express their gratitude. He asked for nothing in return, but he won the love and gratitude of thousands of children. When the author interviewed him, he showed me three letters at random. "This is a newcomer, one of whom is a senior three this year. He got a grant and can go to college. " Later, he opened the drawer for the author to see. The drawer is full of letters from children. Every letter begins with "Dear Grandpa Huang". Huang Zhongxian proudly said, "Haha, look, I have so many grandchildren!"

In this way, Mr. Huang Zhongxian wrote a brilliant and touching life movement with his hard work and selfless dedication. The party and the state have repeatedly commended his patriotic behavior and dedication to the country. In recognition of Huang Zhongxian's outstanding contribution, Fujian Provincial People's Government awarded him the honorary certificate, gold medal and plaque of "Educating people through fun" for many times, and the provincial government also awarded a tree monument in Nan 'an City, Huang Zhongxian on June 5438+0995+ 10/0. In the same year, the Ministry of Education also awarded Huang Zhongxian a glittering medal of "respecting teachers and rejuvenating China". 1 99965438+1October1,the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office specially invited Huang Zhongxian to Beijing to attend the 50th National Day celebration of People's Republic of China (PRC), and was cordially received by the party and state leaders.

Now, Mr. Huang Zhongxian's patriotism is still going on, and his glorious chapter will go down in history forever.
