In the dark and damp market,Chen ShuChu,near her sixties,owns a stall(摊位)that her father left her.The stall,called YuanJin Vegetables,is her everything.Chen earns only a little money by selling vegetables,but she has donated about $321,550 to help poor children.
In March,Forbes magazine named her one of the 48 great philanthropists(慈善家)from the AsiaPacific region.A month later,TIME magazine selected the year's top 100 influential(有影响力的)people and Chen was one of them.Although she has received many honours and rewards,Chen only cares about her vegetable stall and whether her regular customers buy her vegetables or not.“I do not place great importance on money.When I donate to help others,I feel happy and I can sleep well at night.” Chen said.
Chen's ability to donate such a great deal of money has led many to ask,“How can a vegetable seller donate so much?”
“Spend only on what you need,and you'll be able to save a lot of money!” Chen said.Chen leads a very simple life.All she needs is food and a place to sleep.Everything else is a luxury(奢侈品).Neither does she have any desire for material gains nor any form of enjoyment.Work,she says,is her enjoyment.“I love my work.If I don't how would I be able to work 16 hours a day?”Being the first to arrive and last to leave,she has been given the title of “market manager.”
