騎三輪環遊世界的中國爺爺去世,只爲宣傳奧運!

“It's very sad, and it's shaken a lot of people,” said Beeston, a British insurance broker who first met Chen in London in 2012. “He made so many friends and did so much good for the Chinese community. Since he crossed over Canada and down to the Americas [for the Rio Games], everywhere he's won more and more friends.”
“非常的遺憾,我們很多人都爲之動容,”比斯敦如是說,他是一名英國保險經紀人,第一次和老人見面時在2012年的倫敦。“陳老結交了很多朋友,爲中國做了很多很好的宣傳。他穿越加拿大到達美洲來參加里約奧運會,一路上他的朋友越來越多。”

Chen made headlines around the world for taking his rickshaw to the first Olympics in his home nation in Beijing in 2008, traveling 500 miles.
陳老騎着三輪車,自己上面貼着宣傳奧運標語環遊世界,2008年開啓他的奧運第一站,就在祖國北京,他騎行了500英里(約合804公里)去了北京。

He then traveled across 16 countries, some 37,000 miles, in just over two years, to make it to the London Games.

“I'm a big fan of Olympic Games,”

For Rio 2016, Chen flew to Canada and took his rickshaw through the U.S. and Central America to Brazil. He planned to take his rickshaw to Tokyo in 2020.
