Mr Chen was born in 18 October 1956 in Xuzhou Xuzhou, lso known as Pengcheng in ancient times, is a major city in and the fourth largest prefecture-level city of Jiangsu Province, China. (1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xuzhou) His initial facebook profile (ref. https://www.facebook.com/Chen-Guan-Ming-405052266262177/) notes that he has been a self employed farmer who planted garlic for a living before he started his journey t.o cycle around the world and spread the message of love in the spirit of the Olympics.

Back in 2001 when Beijing was declared the host city for the 2008 Olympic Games, Chen initiated a trip of some 60,000 km across the country in honour of the success and Olympic spirits.

During the Beijing Olympics, he volunteered to pick up trash outside the Bird’s Nest, a major stadium of the Olympic Games in Beijing, in hope of raising the awareness of environmental protection in China, winning praise from media and the society

In May 2010 he decided to ride for the London Olympics. The journey outside China took him 14 months, and he got to London on July 9, passing 16 countries on his way.

He was interviewed by BBC at the time and he promised to meet the reporter at the London Games. (https://www.facebook.com/Chen-Guan-Ming-405052266262177)

To keep the promise, Chen has gone through a rugged odyssey.

He weathered high temperatures as high as 40 C in Singapore and icy coldness at a temperature reaching 38 C minus in the mountainous border of Iran, and he also came across massive floods in Thailand which forced him to drag his tricycle for about 20 km.

During the Spring Festival of this year when he was travelling in Turkey, snowstorms hit and he had to swallow all as a special “feast for the Chinese New Year’s Eve”.

Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in London, he was again interviewed by BBC.

“I hope everyone’s dreams can come true,” Chen said, thankful for all whose who helped him and paid attention to him.(ref.:http://english.jschina.com.cn/TodayJiangsu/201207/t1044104.shtml , 2012 july 25 )

He may also be a little bit crazy about the Olympics. ever since he was a little boy he loved the message of the games.‘It is a bridge of friendship between countries- that is the soul of the Olympics,’ he says joyfully

So far he has ticked off China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Burma, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Greece, Italy, with France and England bringing his trek to a close. Despite cutting a very serene figure after such a mammoth attempt, Guanming’s mission hasn’t been without hardship.

He survived a hurricane like storm in the Chinese mountains and he’s lost count of how many dangerous falls he’s had. But, he says, human kindness in all the countries is what has kept him going. People feel compelled to help him on his journey, giving him money for rides or just out of charity. He says he is also very impressed by how ‘everyone, everywhere loves to recycle’.

Indeed, Guanming is rather thrifty too. He spends every night in the back of bicycle,where he stores all of his minimal equipment and luggage- come rain, storms or freezing conditions. If he is offered a bed for the night, he politely refuses, adding with a smile, that he will never leave the side of his old, rusty companion

I ask him what he will do with his bicycle after he has completed his record attempt? Guanming says he will eventually donate it to the Olympic Museum- if they’ll have it. (https://lacaravita.wordpress.com/tag/guanming-chen/, 23 May, 2012, Italy.)

Along the way, Chen overcame obstacles of a true Olympic athlete: he withstood a heat of 38 degrees in Malaysia, cold of 30 below zero in Turkey, floods in Thailand, conflict zones in Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, and mountains with seven thousand meters of height in Tibet, always accompanied of its tricycle, that, besides serving as transport, was improvised like room and kitchen.(http://esporte.band.uol.com.br/olimpico/noticia/?id=100000520324, 27 July 2012 )

He has turned his tricycle into a mobile home, where he eats and sleeps. He has spent about $7,300 so far, and grew a long beard — “it saves money not shaving,” he explains.

Chen says the toughest part of his trip was pulling his tricycle, which weighs more than 330 pounds, over the Kunlun Mountains into Tibet. But for Chen, the next stop on his seven-year trip will be Taiwan, so far 65,000 kilometres. “I want to travel around the whole world,” he says. “My parents will also say it is a stupid thing to do.“”(https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/beijing/2008-08-20-china_N.htm,By Calum MacLeod, USA TODAY) Finnish (http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/olympialaiset/uutiset.shtml/2012/07/1586359/olympiakuume-veti-mies-polki-riksalla-kiinasta-lontooseen, )

2012 August the following: https://www.facebook.com/ChenGuamingrickshawride/ fan page was set up initially to create a place where people can see his journey unfolding. The administrator never ever could have imagined that it would gather over 2700 followers. At first she had no immediate contact with Mr Chen himself, didn’t have a way to share information on the social media, but thanks to numerous persistent helpers (special thank you for David Schram in Canada and Yun Hao ) he managed to create an account on we chat and there just over a year ago continuous news kept flooding, which were soon updated to facebook. Unfortunatly, she only spoke a couple of words in Mandaring, thus could not directly communicate with Mr Chen but thanks again to kind he3arted and supportive followers of Mr Chen ‘s journey messages were shared and understood.

England, London

Big Olympics fan has cycled all the way to London in time for the opening ceremony. He’s cruised into London’s Chinatown in Soho just in time – and has become quite the celebrity. Guanming said he was inspired to make the trip when he witnessed the flag handover at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

He made to trip to ‘spread the Olympic spirit’. Londoner John Beeston met Guanming lost and bewildered on Regents Street. He told the BBC “At first I assumed it was a tourist rickshaw. Then I looked back and thought ‘No, this is something different’.

“I spoke with my limited Mandarin, asking if he was Chinese and he burst into life.”

Beeston then took his new friend to Chinatown where he told the story of his adventure, transporting his rickshaw since 2010 covering 16 countries, through war zones and freezing temperatures – and nearly 90,000 miles “London is especially beautiful. People are very friendly. They always show warmth towards me.” he told the BBC. (http://www.tntmagazine.com/news/london/london-2012-chinese-farmer-cycles-from-china-to-london-for-the-olympic-games, 26th Jul 2012 12:09pm | By Dan Thorne)

Chen said he plans to ride his 14-year-old “vehicle” to Canada after the London Olympics and then Rio de Janeiro, the host city for the next Olympic Games, hopefully before 2016.

I only recently discovered this article http://www.bryanjames.co.uk/chen-guan-ming/

Video: http://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/02/21/dnt-man-biking-to-brazil-for-summer-olympics.krcr/video/playlists/all-about-the-olympics/ 26 May 2015

Bryan James and Chen Guan Ming

Update – January 15th 2015

Chen has reached the town of Bellevue in WashingtonState, just East of Seattle as he proceeds down America’s West Coast towards Rio 2016. However we understand that Chen plans to cross America to New York and Washington before heading too far South and as anyone who knows Chen will realise, he will do exactly what he wants to do.

Chen returned to the UK in 2013 and met up with his rickshaw which we had kept in store for him. He then spent a few days in London’s Chinatown renewing friendships made in 2012 before heading off to Cambridge, the universitycity favoured by many Chinese.

Here, for the first time he hit the UK national press. His slow progress along the narrow but important road caused a massive traffic jam. They still did not report his, hard to believe, across the world story.

Whilst in Cambridge we managed to get the ACL shipping company to transport his chariot to HalifaxNova Scotia and Icelandair kindly sold us a low cost ticket to fly him via Rekjavik to meet up with his home on wheels in Halifax.

Chen was now against the clock needing to be in Liverpool in time to meet the tight sailing schedule. He set off along two busy trunk roads, the A14 linking the container port of Felixstowe with the Midlands and the A50 another major well used road linking Britain’s two busiest motorways, the M1 and the M6. And yes again, traffic jams were created and on two successive days the police, concerned about Chen’s safety contacted our Hayes office for help. With Shu Lian’s help Chen was safely escorted to quieter roads and still reached Liverpool in time.

In Liverpool Xiang Qing Huang, a friend from Guangzhou and our MD assisted by the very helpful ACL team loaded his rickshaw on board where it travelled amidst top of the range Jaguar saloons whilst we drove back to Oxford, the other university town Chen had planned to see.

When Chen arrived in Canada ahead of his rickshaw he was met by members of the Chinese community that we had managed to locate and they in turn alerted other groups as he ventured forth. Everyone of course had suggested that Chen made his way down Americas West Coast but, Chen being Chen, was determined to cross Canada first.

He did however heed advice and halt his journey ahead of the Canadian winter and flew home to see his elderly father who was not in good health. Sadly his father died but when our MD visited China in April 2014 he was able to meet Chen and his mother in their remote village, probably the first western visitor to be welcomed there. He was also able to meet the company that had made the rickshaw where now thousands of motorised trikes are mass produced and sold across the Far East.

When Chen returned to Canada he discovered that the heavy snows had caused the collapse of the barn where his rickshaw was being stored causing major damage which required repair before he could resume his journey.

Nether the less he pressed on across Canada and over the Rockies, no mean feat when considering that his bike is made of heavy metal, has no gears and carries his bed and luggage.

But on arrival in Vancouver a set back. He could not get a visa to enter America. So he returned to China where with the help of his friend Harrison he secured a 10 year visa and returned to Canada, arriving there on the 1st December, 2014.

Chen is on the move again

August 2013 – London and Chen moves on, firstly to Cambridge where he won a wide circle of friends and captured the imagination of BBC Cambridge.

He had planned to go on from there to Liverpool via Oxford, Stratford Upon Avon, Birmingham and Chester but then ACL shipping asked, “could Chen be in Liverpool for the 21st August sailing?”.

The ACL Shipping Line have been wonderful. Gemma in their PR department secured free carriage for Chen’s rickshaw and so it was an opportunity not to be missed. So Oxford and Birmingham were out instead Chen took the shortest route to Liverpool but “ooops”, he was stopped by police on the busy A14 trunk road, the fast dual carriageway carrying HGVs from Felixstowe docks to the Midlands.

This was not his first meeting with the police. He had already been stopped by the police on the A10. Not because of the massive traffic jam he was causing, (see the Times, 16.8.13) but out of concern for his safety. The police though have been wonderful, even mending a broken pedal at the roadside. When he again stopped by the police next day on the equally busy A50, they even summoned up a safety convoy to escort him to safety. Thank you officers and apologies to all those inconvenienced by his slow chariot. Discounts to you all!

Chen made excellent time and arrived at the Albert Dock in Liverpool centre. Our MD John and a newly acquired interpreter volunteer Xiang Qing Huang caught up with him that evening and next day escorted him to the ACL loading bay. There Lee Chapman and his number one team gave him VIP treatment and parked his home on wheels alongside some top of the range Jaguars which were also bound for Canada.

Then it was off to Oxford with a short call en route to our Warrington Office and then, if proof was ever needed, the devil looks after his own. We actually found a guest house run by Julia Tao, a lady from Shanghai and of course a Mandarin speaker, and if that was not enough, the nearby Vietnamese restaurant recognised Chen and gave all three of us a free meal.

On Saturday 24th We will collect Chen and take him to Heathrow where Icelandair will fly him to Halifax via Iceland. The fare they have quoted us was by far and away the lowest, less than 20% of the Air Canada fare and they could not even return any of our calls.

Chen arrives in Halifax late on Saturday, (1.00 am our time) and the Atlantic Compass is due to dock in Halifax early on Wednesday morning, the 28th.

What are Chen’s plans now

Chen returned to the UK on the 17th June 2013 courtesy of British Airways. He was met by members of Bryan James & Co and reunited with his beloved rickshaw.

Chen spent two nights in Harlington servicing his rickshaw but couldn’t wait to get back to central London and ChinaTown.

There he was welcomed by some of his many friends and feels he is in a home from home.

Since he has been back in London he has appeared on BBC London Television and he has been greeted by many tourists from over-seas who remember seeing Chen on their local TV last year.

On the 24th June Chen accompanied by an artist friend, Wen Wu, joined our MD at the House of Lords, taking tea on the terrace with Lord Luce and other guests.

Now the battle is on to find a way of getting Chen and his rickshaw to North America. A shipping company has kindly offered to take his home on wheels but cannot take Chen which means a long wait in a strange land whilst the boat with his home on board arrives. And of course, Chen only speaks Mandarin.

Chen left London in August 2013 and managed to get a flight to Halifax, Canada. In his time in Canada, Chen traveled through Montreal and Ottawa. In December of 2013, Chen had to go back to China as his Mother and Father were unwell. While Chen was looking after them, unfortunately in February 2014, Chen’s Father passed away. Chen stayed in China until the beginning of May, which is when he went back to Canada.

Chen arrived in Toronto in June 2014 and in a shocking turn of events, Chen found out that, while his rickshaw was in storage at a friend’s farm in Toronto, it had been damage by the collapse of a farmhouse roof caused by the worst snow in Toronto in the last 20 years. It was taking a while for Chen to repair his rickshaw, however the kind Chinese people of Toronto began to help Chen repair his rickshaw and make a new covering, and Chen also had to order a special part from China for his rickshaw.

It didn’t take long for the special part to be delivered. Chen was able to fix his rickshaw and was on his way continuing his journey.

Now Mr. Chen Guanming is on a new epic journey and will travel through North American to South America for the next Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He has to go through seven months of arduous journey, across 9 provinces, ride over the Rocky Mountains in Canada. The distance is up to forty thousand kilometers. He will be the first person in history to ride a rickshaw across Canada.

Can you help?

October 2012 – Chen is determined to continue his epic ride to Rio for 2016 but his immediate concern is the health of his elderly father back home in China. Chen has now flown home to see his father as they have not seen each other since 2010. (Unfortunately his father has since passed away)

We have stored his rickshaw for him at a location close to the airport which has enabled him to transfer to the flight very easily.

When he returns in the Spring he will start the long rickshaw ride to South America and this where you can help.

He could go via Ireland taking one of the short ferry crossings to Belfast or Dublin but we have not been able to find details of a sea route from Ireland to North America that could take him and his rickshaw. Do you know of any routes?

We have been told that there is a car-ferry boat from Denmark to Iceland, calling in at the Faroe Islands and other boats from there to Nova Scotia, but we cannot find any details. Do they still operate? And is there a boat from Scotland to the Faroes or to Iceland that could take the rickshaw and Chen?

If we cannot find a possible northerly route before he returns to the UK in the Spring we might need to find a southerly route, (from Portugal?) direct to South America but this would deprive Chen of the opportunity to travel down through Canada, America and Mexico.

If you can help us with ferry details do please make contact.

Wednesday 26 September 2012 – A meeting was arranged by Mr John Beeston at The Royal Overseas Club in London with the extraordinary Mr Chen Guanming – to inform others of his story. This is a man who is cycling the world on a gearless rickshaw to promote the spirit of the Olympics. Chen arrived in London safely for the 2012 Games.

For those of you who attended the Chopsticks Club event on 11 September, you will have met the extraordinary Mr Chen Guanming – an amazing gentleman from Jiangsu Province who in true Olympian style has cycled from Beijing to London on a gearless rickshaw, to promote the spirit of the Olympics and who intends to travel from London to Rio, starting in April 2013 from London, to arrive in time for the 32nd Olympics in Rio de Janiero, in 2016.

See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-18980693 for one of the many articles on Chen.

Whilst in London he met Chopsticks Club member, John Beeston who kindly brought him along to the Chopsticks Club.

Such was the interest in Chen’s travels, John Beeston organised a special event for him.

This provided an opportunity to answer all those still unanswered questions about his travels and find out even more. Chen battled with wolves in Tibet, bitter cold in Turkey and had to overcome many bureaucratic hurdles when crossing international borders.

There was a recital by soprano, Wang Chen, which brought the evening’s entertainment to an end.

Thursday 7th August 2014 – Chen is now in Winnipeg, Canada, and the kind people of Winnipeg have donated $2,143.48 to support Chen’s cause.

Saturday 9th August 2014 – Chen met Winnipeggers at the Winnipeg Chinese Cultural and Community Centre, followed by the tour around the WCCCC and Folklorama Chinese Pavilion performances.

Sunday 10th August 2014 – A cycling parade is being held from the legislative building to the Forks, in support of Mr. Chen Guanming’s cross Canada trek.

The Olympic Rickshaw Rider

At the Beijing games in 2008, a whole nation was inspired by the Spirit of the Olympics. So much so that one man, Chen Guan Ming, rode 800 kilometres from his home to the Bird’s Nest Stadium in his ageing rickshaw.

But while 800km might seem like an impressive feat to some, Chen had an even bigger goal in mind. So, on May 23rd, 2010, he gathered his possessions, hopped back into his rickshaw and started a mammoth two year journey to London!

Passing through 16 countries including Tibet, Iran, Greece and France, Chen arrived in London on July 9th 2012 to be welcomed by…

Nobody.

By a stroke of luck, our MD John Beeston noticed Chen slumped over the handlebars of his rickshaw on Lower Regent Street. Using his limited Mandarin, John discovered the story behind Chen’s journey, escorted him to Chinatown and took it upon himself to alert the world’s press.

Thanks to our hard work, Chen’s feat was acknowledged by the world’s media – and he was covered by outlets including BBC News, the London-based Chinese Phoenix TV, Sky and CNN. We also enlisted the help of FirstFound to provide Chen with a brand new website to help people keep tabs on his rickshaw odyssey.

With our help, Chen was provided with a ticket for the spectacular opening ceremony on July 27th before being honoured as a guest at a banquet held by the Chinese Olympic team.

Journey through Canada 2013

24 August 2013 Farewell to England and Welcome Canada.

He took a break from the saddle for a few months, returning to China to nurse his father through ill health – and then he was back.

Using tickets donated by an airline, he arrived in London in July and earlier this month set off on the first leg of a trip which will be at least 5,800 miles (9,350 km) – and that’s as the crow flies.

His immediate mission was to pedal to Liverpool, where friends secured free carriage of the rickshaw to Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, ready for Mr Chen’s journey south.

‘Nice’ policemen

However, for a Mandarin speaker with only four words of English – one of which is “toilet” – negotiating England’s highways in a rickshaw is not necessarily straightforward.

This is my job now, to tell the people of the world about the Olympics and about peace Chen Guanming

In Hertfordshire, police escorted Mr Chen off the busy A10 dual carriageway near Buntingford before helping him fix a broken pedal.

In Cambridgeshire he was stopped on the A14 when his rickshaw caused traffic jams and consternation among motorists.

Unperturbed, and refusing the police’s offer of a map, he headed on his way.

Although Mr Chen was not breaking the law, officers told him it was not safe.

Near Stoke-on-Trent he again came to the attention of police, pedalling along the A50, a road heavily used by lorries.

They offered him an escort to “more suitable roads”.

Asked why he insisted on using A-roads, Mr Chen said: “It’s too complicated to use small roads because I don’t have a GPS.

“I can recognise signs on bigger roads and know I’m going the right way.

“The police tell me it’s dangerous, but they’ve all been very nice and helpful.”

‘Chinese takeaway’

It is not easy to explain road safety without a common language, but people who know him say Mr Chen “gets by with a smile”.

Image caption Chen Guanming sleeping in his rickshaw during the London 2012 Olympics

He gets by with little else, sleeping in the rickshaw and funding his travels by offering lifts and doing odd jobs.

He does not get tired, he said, and has enjoyed almost everything about the trip so far.

Speaking through an interpreter, Andy Chen, he said: “The Olympics were very good and I enjoyed it all very much.

“I watched a lot on the television and especially liked the Paralympic wheelchair races.

“The countryside is beautiful, very secure and very enjoyable.”

English food, however, is not.

“I can’t get used to it. I prefer Chinese takeaway.”

Insurance broker John Beeston met the farmer last year, and with a smattering of Mandarin has helped plan the journey to Rio.

He joined Mr Chen on Monday as they said goodbye to the rickshaw at the Port of Liverpool, but, unable to secure passage for Mr Chen, they took a detour to Oxford “because Chen wanted to go there”.

‘Never stop’

Image copyright Helen Huang Image caption Mr Chen’s rickshaw shows wear and tear after years on the road

They found a guesthouse run by a woman from Shanghai and a Vietnamese restaurant where, Mr Beeston said, Mr Chen was “instantly recognised and much photographed”.

With the rickshaw already on its way to Canada, Mr Beeston had to find a way for his friend to travel in its wake and eventually an airline offered an “affordable” flight from Heathrow on Saturday.

Mr Chen will then continue the next leg of his Olympian journey, with his friend tracking his progress.

“He wants to go through the Rockies to Vancouver, where there’s a huge Chinese community,” Mr Beeston said.

“He also plans to criss-cross America. I’ve told him about their cold winters, wolves and bears, but Chen’s not fazed. He’s seen them all before.”

With his sights set on Rio, does Mr Chen think 2016 will be the year he finally returns to China?

“This is my job now, to tell the people of the world about the Olympics and about peace,” he said.

“I will keep going. I’ll never stop doing the job I love until I die.”

His dream was to make it for the 2020 Japan Olympics, it now our responsibility to keep his memory alive and show the world his message and legacy that in the spirit of Olympics nations come together and celebrate peace and love. He also taught us that there is no hardship that can not be survived with a dream in heart. That smile is a universal language which we should not be afraid to use.

I apologise for the miss mesh at the moment but his death has come as a shock as I imagine to most of us. I will fix later the problems. Also I hope that I do not offend anybody by using their article, other then the final thoughts most text is borrowed from cited article for which I copied over references, which I also intend to do properly when I will have some time and energy.

I only wanted to share a beautiful soul and its journey crossing the continents sharing love and compassion along the way.
