Chen Guangbiao distributes 2000 bicycles for free to promote low carbon lifestyle

Chen Guangbiao (陈光标), a billionaire and chairman of a Jiangsu-based recycling company, is famous for his high-profile but unorthodox ways to do his charity work and promote the low-carbon lifestyle.The 43-year-old is a flamboyant philanthropist often criticized of going on publicity stunts to charity, while he insisted that his shows were to call other wealthy people to join the charity business as well.He is also an eco-friendly businessman, but many people questioned about his motives as last time he smashed his own Mercedes Benz car in public to attract attention.Again, on this March 1, 2012, Chen distributed 2,000 bicycles to Beijing citizens for free and showed off his bike-riding skills to promote the low carbon lifestyle at the Yuetan Sports Center of Beijing, right before the opening of the 5th session of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) that he is going to attend too. The national political adviser Pu Chunxi was seen to be present to support Chen’s act.
