Vegetable vendor is Time 100 most influential people

May 1, 2010 by Yein Jee

Former American President Bill Clinton, pop star Lady Gaga, Chinese actor Jet Li and Korean figure skater champ Kim Yuna are among the 100 personality who were named by Time magazine in its 2010 most influential people list.

Taiwanese philanthropist Chen Shu-ChuAmong them there’s one who’s a bit special, she’s Madam Chen Shu-Chu, a vegetable vendor from Taiwan. Below is her intro on Time, written by famous director Ang Lee…

Chen Shu-chu is a seller of vegetables in a stall in Taitung County’s central market, in eastern Taiwan. Out of her modest living, Chen, 59, has managed to donate nearly NT$10 million (that’s $320,000) to various causes, including $32,000 for a children’s fund, $144,000 to help build a library at a school she attended and another $32,000 for the local orphanage, where she also gives financial support to three children.

What’s so wonderful about Chen’s achievement is not its extraordinariness but that it is so simple and matter of fact in its generosity. “Money serves its purpose only when it is used for those who need it,” she told a newspaper.

And rather than bask in her celebrity, Chen seems to dismiss the whole thing with a wave of her hand, perhaps even with a hint of irritation. “There isn’t much to talk about, because I did not enter any competition,” she says. “I haven’t really made any huge donations.”

She’s planning to establish a fund to help the poor with education, food and health care. Amazing, but of all she has given away, her greatest gift is her example. (Image by David Shankbone from the Time 100 dinner).

[Update] Chen is also named by Forbes Asia as one of the 48 heroes of Philanthropy, and by Reader’s Digest Asia as Asian of The Year in 2010.
