Pledge letter
捐赠誓言
尊敬的沃伦.巴菲特先生及比尔.盖茨夫妇：
非常荣幸收到“捐赠誓言”的邀请，我乐意加入其中，投身公益，以此履行我的社会责任，实现人生之价值。
自2004年开在中国贵州捐资助学起，我的公益慈善事业由此开启。财富取之于社会，而回馈于社会。做慈善不仅是企业必须履行的社会责任，更是企业回报社会的良好方式。而关于事业和慈善的平衡，我一直推崇的是“崇德向善，积极向上”的原则。
向上，使人增长智慧和财富，在追求事业上发展方面，立足主营业务，把企业做大做强。
向善，则是珍重生命，尊重自然，心怀善意，广播善缘，这使人心态阳光健康，增加福报。
慈者仁心，善者大美。做善事不难，难的是坚持不懈地践行慈善公益的诺言。因此，在过去的十几年，我积极发挥自身优势，致力于推动教育、科技、文化、环保、扶贫等领域的慈善事业。继中国贵州捐资助学之后，进而在梵净山自然保护区捐资修建梵净山生态植物园，构建一个保护自然生态和保护珍稀动物的公益平台。并持续在贵州扶贫，设立助学金和奖学金，资助贫困学生上大学，接受更好的教育。近期又捐款修建寄宿学校…
如今，我投身教育行业已二十年有余，教育的本身即“以人为本”，国家乃至全世界的发展都需要人才来推动。我因此提出了“大公益”理念。我认为做公益不仅仅是捐钱、捐物，还要捐智慧。即“授人以鱼，鱼渔并授”。很高兴，这一点在我捐助的教育测评帮扶项目后，看到了收效。
很高兴，能加入“捐赠誓言”。也很期待，跟大家一起，为人类为社会的进步与发展献上一己薄力。
My Giving Pledge
Dear Mr. Buffett, Mr. and Mrs. Gates
It was my great honor to receive your invitation to join the Giving Pledge. I would be delighted to join it, to fulfill my social responsibility, to achieve the full value of my life. In 2004, I made my first donation to a school in Guizhou, and that’s when my philanthropy got started. Wealth comes from society, and should be returned back to society. Charity is not only a social responsibility that entrepreneurs must fulfill, but also a good way for the entrepreneurs to give back to society. With regard to the balance between business and charity, I have always respected the principle of Acting Positive and Staying Kind.
Acting Positive makes people gain wisdom and wealth. In their pursuit of career development, the entrepreneur becomes bigger and stronger. Staying Kind, means to treasure life, respect nature, always have goodwill and be ready to help others in need. This makes people mentally healthy and blessed.
Those who engage in charity bear a kind heart. Those who are kind reveal true beauty. To do a good thing once is not difficult. What is hard is to persevere in fulfilling the pledge of philanthropy. During the past ten years, I built my business and life, and devoted myself to philanthropy in the area of education, science and technology, culture, environmental protection and poverty alleviation. After my first donation to schools in Guizhou, China, I donated money to Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve to help them set up the Fanjing Mountain Ecological Botanical Garden and build a public platform to protect the area’s natural ecology and rare animals. At the same time, I never stopped helping people in need in Guizhou. I established scholarships to help poor students go to college for a better education, and I have donated to build a boarding school.
At this point, I have been in the education industry for more than two decades. Education itself is people oriented. The development of our country, even the whole world, relies on people’s talents. Therefore, I have proposed the concept of Great Philanthropy. That is, I believe that philanthropy is not just about donating money and goods, but also about sharing wisdom. We Chinese say, it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them a fish. That’s why I’m so glad to see the achievements that been made after the donation of my educational evaluation program.
I am grateful to be part of the Giving Pledge, and I look forward to joining you in devoting my humble contributions to the progress of human life and the development of society.
