Liu Qiangdong has given New Year gifts to the villagers of his hometown on many occasions
It's worth noting that this is not the first time Liu Qiangdong has given New Year gifts to the villagers of his hometown.值得注意的是，这并非刘强东首次给家乡村民送新年礼物。
According to Jiupai News, during the Spring Festival in 2015, Liu Qiangdong returned to his birthplace, Guangming Village, Laolong Town, Suyu District, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, to visit the villagers and offer them warm New Year greetings. At the same time, he took out his own money and gave each of the more than 650 elderly people over 60 years old in the whole village a "special Spring Festival red envelope" of 10,000 yuan.
九派新闻报道，2015年春节，刘强东回到了他的出生地——江苏省宿迁市宿豫区来龙镇光明村，看望广大乡亲们、给大家热情拜年。同时，他还自掏腰包，给全村650余名60岁以上的老人发出了每人一万元的“春节特别红包”。
"I grew up here. Without the care and love of all the villagers, I couldn't have left this village, and there wouldn't be who I am today. I came back to celebrate the New Year and visit everyone, expressing a little bit of my gratitude. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!" Liu Qiangdong said to the elderly villagers.“我从小生活在这里，没有各位乡亲父老的关心爱护，我也走不出这个村子，也就没有今天的我，这次回家过年看望大家，表达一点点心意，希望大家过个好年！”刘强东对村里的老人们说。
In January 2024, a netizen 爆料 (it's better to use "revealed" here) that while shopping online, they found an account named "Brother Dong" placed more than 1,000 orders for down jackets and over 1,000 supermarket gift boxes at the same time and had them delivered to Laolong Town, Suqian, Jiangsu.2024年1月，有网友爆料，网购时发现一个名为“东哥”的账号在同时段一次性下单了超过1000件羽绒服和1000多份超市礼盒，并送往江苏宿迁来龙镇。
After verification, the user was indeed Liu Qiangdong himself. This batch of New Year goods would be delivered to Guangming Village, his hometown.经核实，该名用户正是刘强东本人，这批年货将会送达他老家所在的光明村。
According to previous news from Shell Finance, in addition to donations, Liu Qiangdong invested 4.5 billion yuan in Suqian to build the JD.com Information Technology Industrial Park. In an interview in February 2016, Liu Qiangdong said that he had basically recruited all the people in Suqian who could use computers and speak Mandarin.据贝壳财经此前消息，除了捐款，刘强东在宿迁投入45亿元，打造京东商城信息科技产业园。刘强东2016年2月接受采访时称，把宿迁能会电脑的，能会说普通话的，基本上全已招完了。
Liu Qiangdong once said that one of the reasons he likes to donate money and attract investment for his hometown is that when he left his hometown to go to college at the age of 18, his parents, relatives, friends and villagers pooled a total of 76 tea eggs and 500 yuan in cash for him, and he received no more money from them after that. These tea eggs and money gave him the opportunity to go out into the world in the future.刘强东曾说，自己喜欢给家乡捐钱拉投资的一个原因是：18岁离开家乡上大学时，父母亲戚朋友和村民，一共凑了76个茶叶蛋和500元现金，从此就再没有钱给他了。这些茶叶蛋和钱给了他日后走向世界的机会。
"So I'm doing my best to attract enterprise investment for my hometown and make donations. I will spend my whole life repaying the kindness of my fellow villagers!" said Liu Qiangdong.“所以我拼命的为老家拉企业投资、捐款捐物。父老乡亲们的恩情，我会用一辈子来还！”刘强东说。
