Chen Shu-Ju 陳樹菊

Chen Shu-Ju, a vegetable seller, in Taitung, Taiwan, has been honored by Time Magazine for her generosity to education and charity. She was named as one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2010.
She lives on NT$100 each day while she found the time and resources to donate NT$10 million (US$437,000) over the years to a school and orphanage for the past 17 years!

陳樹菊是台灣台東中央市場女菜販。美國《時代》雜誌將其選入2010年最具影響力時代百大人物之「英雄」項目第八位。她也是早先《富比世》雜誌所選出的2010年48位亞洲慈善英雄人物之一。
她多年來共捐出了近1000萬新台幣來作為慈善用途,幫助兒童和孤兒,以及建立圖書館等。

Her generousty reminds me the story of a widow's offering. Jesus said, "...that poor widow has given more than all those ... , while she gave up her last penny." (The Bible Mark 12: 41-44)

她的慷慨解囊就是聖經一個寡婦奉獻的翻版。耶穌說:「... 這個窮寡婦所投進奉獻箱的 ... , 她已經很窮了, 郤把自己全部的生活費用都獻上了。」(聖經 馬可福音12章41-44節)
