American dreamer in China

The Chinese Dream | Kennethe. Behring

Kenneth E. Behring was wealthy and successful in his home country, but it was in China that he found the true meaning of life. Wang Ru reports.

Fifteen years ago, Kenneth E. Behring was the man who had everything, from a private jet to his own club in the United States' National Football League. However, despite being one of the richest 400 people in the US, as determined by Forbes Magazine, he was not satisfied with his life of enormous wealth. That is, until he had an epiphany that lead him to find a new reason for living. Now, Behring, 86, who was a recipient of China's National Friendship award in 2013 for his philanthropic work in the country, says that he has found joy and inner peace.
