Ding Hemu, Founder Of Anta Group: Devote Himself To Charity

Ding Hemu, honorary chairman and founder of Anta group.

The Charity Federation will always be honorary president, a simple and honest elder.

Looking back on the 80 years of his father's life, it is like a meaningful book: he was a poor farmer who worked in agriculture, worked as a soldier, and had a small business when he was young. After reform and opening up, he succeeded in starting a business with the courage to be the first person. Now, he should have devoted his life to philanthropy in his old age. He has loved his hometown. He has become rich and has never forgotten his name. He has burst into brilliant brilliance of goodness and beauty and has become the most beautiful Jinjiang people in Jinjiang.

"I am the only boy in my family. I have to support my family. I don't want to let my family run around for a living. Opportunities don't wait. I must seize this opportunity."

He was born in a poor peasant family in chedai, Jinjiang.

After graduating from primary school, he was one of the 9 students admitted to Jinjiang one middle school in the same year. Because he was the only boy among the five children in the family, Ding and Mu hoped to get out of society early and help share the burden of supporting the family.

"At that time, we could not even sell seafood ourselves, we could only fish in the fields."

In order to solve the food and clothing problem of a family of eight, Ding Hemu often started early in the dark, farming in the fields or fishing in the sea.

The hardest time to remember is at three or four a.m. in the winter. He has to get up and go to the sea to catch the razor clam and sell it to Quanzhou and other places.

Ding Hemu's feet were red and swollen and numb when he was bitten by the piercing cold wind and the cold water. He often waited until he went home to wash his feet.

At that time, he was less than 20 years old.

At the age of 19, Ding Hemu, who was only 90 pounds, was too thin to reach the air force he longed for, and finally became an army artillery.

In 1978, after the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blows the land of China.

Even so, in the face of this new thing, most people are still hesitant and hesitant.

However, Ding Hemu, who was bent on changing the fate of his family, was no longer able to sit still. He was determined to enter the tide of the times.

He sold everything that he could change money at home: millet, razor clam, pig, chicken, duck, etc. *, and borrowed some money from his friends and relatives, and he started a shoe factory with his cousins.

At that time, he was more than 40 years old.

Only when middle-aged people begin to start a business can they experience hardships.

However, when he was young, he worked hard in the big melting pot of the army, so that Ding and he trained a good habit of doing things decisively, plus a clever mind with good family business and a struggling spirit of "fighting hard to win" and "dare to take the lead in the world". Ding Hemu possessed the courage and courage to make a career under difficult conditions.

Perhaps this is because of a strong business climate, a good policy of reform and opening up, or perhaps a strong desire to change poverty. The more than 40 year old farmer has started his own business.

Now, Ding Hemu founded it.

It has become the first brand of sporting goods in China.

Ding Hemu sends mooncakes to the children of special education schools.

"I am most sad to see that poor families live a poor life, which makes me unable to move for a long time."

Today, the children of Ding and Mu take the baton and become the backbone of Anta.

Mr. Ding Hemu has withdrawn from the front line of business operation, but in some charitable activities and community activities, he can often see his thin figure.

For many years, Ding and Mu have carried out charity, rich and not forget to give back to society, always pay attention to social hardships and always be enthusiastic about charitable and public welfare undertakings.

He believes that it is incumbent on social responsibility to give money back to where it is most needed.

Holidays are the busiest time for Ding Hemu. From the December of the lunar calendar to the first month of next year, from kindergarten to nursing home, from group meetings to personal visits, Ding Hemu sends blessing and love funds to every inch of land in his hometown.

Since 2008, the elderly people over 60 years old in the coastal village have been able to receive a monthly subsidy of 300 yuan, a total of about 2000000 yuan a year. During the major festivals such as Chung Yeung and Spring Festival, Mr. Ding Hemu also personally provided living materials for the poor elderly in the village.

"Even if Chen Dai is a richer place, there are many impoverished people we do not know, not to mention other remote villages."

Speaking of giving the living allowance to the elderly in the village, Ding Hemu felt quite touched.

Over the years, in addition to Chen Dai, he himself went to town streets such as Tung Shi and Longhu, and went deep into the countryside to consolate poor families. They saw that they lived in dilapidated stone houses and lived in poverty with pain. "I often feel sad when I see that kind of scene in that environment. I can't move my feet for a long time."

The good is like water, the heart is education.

In 2010, Mr. Ding and Mr. Mu donated 7 million 500 thousand yuan to build the kindergarten of the shore pocket, and solved the problem of education for a large number of migrant workers' children.

In addition, Mr. Ding Hemu adds computers, desk chairs and other teaching equipment to schools such as poly primary school, Chen Dai nationality middle school and so on every year. Every teacher's day, Mr. Ding Hemu will give excellent teachers certain rewards. For the Jinjiang disabled people's education school, in addition to taking the lead in his own donations, he will also help everyone care for these special students.

The so-called "Da Zhi and the world", Mr. Ding Hemu's charitable act, from the side, and then extended to the whole society.

In 2011, Ding and Mu donated 100 million yuan to establish "Anta and wood love fund".

Ding Hemu is eager to contribute as long as he thinks it is good for the society.

He said that public welfare is something he will never lose. As long as he can do more, he will do more and do his duty. "For me, as long as I can satisfy the basic requirements of eating, living and doing, I want to do my best to do charity and repay society."

Because of his outstanding contribution to charity, Mr. Ding Hemu was awarded the title of "China Charity outstanding contribution award" and "Chinese love entrepreneur".

In Jinjiang, the family of Mr. Ding and Mu was awarded the honorary title of "charity family".

"Without Deng Xiaoping, there would be no me now; without reform and opening up, there would be no Anta now".

Drink water and think the source.

The affable, smiling old man has broad mind and grateful feelings.

Recalling 80 years of life experience, Mr. Ding Hemu has repeatedly mentioned "Deng Xiaoping" and "reform and opening up".

Looking back on that year, he can emerge from the waves of business, and now Anta is the first sporting goods company in China. Ding and Mu are most grateful for the reform and opening up policy put forward by Deng Xiaoping.

"The market is not open before, business is not good to do, you are poor, I am poor, no one wants to start a business."

Recalling the social environment before the reform and opening up, Ding he said that at that time, most people were just stuffing their heads in the field to earn their jobs.

With the spring breeze of reform and opening up, he has the chance to break through his own day.

"I have suffered so much myself, and now I am rich, I cannot forget it."

The hardships of the hometown people always touched Ding Hemu's heart. Therefore, helping the poor, relieving the disaster and helping him become a way of expressing gratitude and giving back to society.

Ding Hemu always said, "Anta has today, the contribution of employees is indispensable."

As a result, he has invested in education every year and is grateful to migrant workers.

In the schools he donated, the majority of the migrant workers were children, and his kindness helped them to feel at ease in school.

Mr. Ding Hemu always keeps in mind the doctrine of "honesty and gratitude" and does not forget to give back to society and actively devotes himself to public welfare and philanthropy.

Ding Hemu said: "looking back on the course of eighty years, I am most delighted that the children are successful, Anta is successful, and the country is strong."

The deeper love, the thicker it grows.

Ding Hemu visits ARI kindergarten every month to see the children.

In Jinjiang, what Mr. ting and Mu Mu most admired is his continuous feedback to his hometown.

This comes from his love for his hometown. This deep love is getting stronger as time goes on.

Yesterday, our reporter visited a number of Jinjiang people who knew Ding Lao well. For Mr. Ding Hemu, they also had their own love, grateful love, respect for love, and the longer the more loving love.

"He has done more than he can remember."

At 10 a.m. yesterday, Mr. Ding Hemu came to the village committee on the Eighty Day of his birthday with 633 thousand yuan in cash, and gave 1000 yuan benefits to 633 villagers aged 60 or above in the village.

In a three storey old people's meeting near the market in the village of ondou village, the elderly can see the old people laughing and playing, playing mahjong and enjoying the sunset.

In order to improve the leisure environment of the elderly in the village, Mr. Ding and Mr. Mu also contributed to the donation of the old people's club building.

"There are so many good things that we can't remember."

When it comes to Mr. Ding Hemu's concern and help for the elderly in the same village, the old men put down their mahjong and talked about their happiness and thumbs up.

Ding Qingchuan, President of the Old Village Association of onshore village, said that the elderly in the village were very grateful to Mr. Ding Hemu. He always said he was our "honorary president forever".

"We are proud to have such an elder."

"Respect and gratitude."

It is said that Ding Hemu, who is a rich and unforgotten man, has been using these two simple words by Ding Qingyan, director of the village committee.

"As long as the public welfare needs in the village, he always stands up like a timely rain."

Ding Qingyan said that over the years, Ding Hemu has made many contributions to education, respect for the elderly and public facilities in the village of onshore village, improving the quality of life of the shore pocket people.

"He is a paragon of philanthropy in Jinjiang."

"Ding Lao's admiration is that he always practices and sets an example."

Gong Zimeng, executive vice president of the Jinjiang Charity Association, said that Ding Lao had devoted his heart to charity. He had participated in numerous charitable activities. He was a model of Jinjiang philanthropy.

Since 2002, Ding Lao has visited the condolences of the disadvantaged groups and went deep into the lives of the bottom people. Although the Charity Federation will give some consolation money, Ding Lao will pay some help from his own pocket.

He covers a wide range of charities, not only the well-known enthusiastic education, but also migrant workers, nursing homes, low-income families, accidents and so on.

"He founded kindergartens for children."

In order to facilitate the children studying in the village of Dandu village, in 2009, Mr. Ding established a kindergarten in the name of his mother. All the funds used by the school to improve teaching equipment and environment were donated by the old man. He would return to the kindergarten to see the children every month.

The most impressive thing for Lin Lifen, a kindergarten director, was to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. The children's grandparents and Mr. Ding were invited to participate in the school activities. The children made a small lantern to Mr. Ding, who was moved by the old man. He brought the pen to his neighbor and wrote six characters on the spot: "everything is for the child".

Mr. Ding said, this is the original intention of this kindergarten.

"He always spares no efforts in supporting education."

On this special day yesterday, Mr. Ding once again gave generously to the fifth Experimental Primary School in Jinjiang to donate 8 million yuan.

Zhang Haisheng, President of the fifth Experimental Primary School in Jinjiang, told reporters that as early as 2012, Mr. Ding had come forward to consult with the elderly association to divide the land into schools for children's learning and growth.

In 2013, the old man led the donation of 2 million yuan, and quickly led the philanthropists to raise about 10000000 yuan in a short period of time for the school's infrastructure construction and award teaching scholarship.

"Ding Lao once ignored the traffic and went to the factory 50 kilometers away to understand the production of the school plaque and building materials. He kept a lot of details in mind and concerned about the quality of the facilities."

Zhang Haisheng said.

Now, with Mr. Ding's 8 million yuan donation, the renderings of the campus goal complex have been formed.
