"Overseas Chinese" is the DNA of Jiangmen. In Jiangmen, roads, bridges, hospitals and schools donated by overseas Chinese villagers can be seen everywhere, squares named after overseas Chinese, parks with the theme of overseas Chinese, and enterprises mainly based on overseas Chinese. Under the background of the new road to the realization of the second centenary goal and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Jiangmen proposed the "Empowerment of Overseas Chinese" project, firmly inheriting and carrying forward the unique cultural spirit of overseas Chinese, making full use of unique overseas Chinese cultural resources, and making "overseas Chinese" Jiangmen a "window" for reading China. In Jiangmen, there is a very young "cultural master" who has been committed to the field of overseas Chinese cultural creation and is committed to telling the story of Jiangmen well. She is Chen Liwen.

The road to chasing dreams is never smooth. Chen Liwen said that like most people, she was born in an ordinary family and has encountered many difficulties and challenges, but she is very grateful for these trials and tribulations, which make her work hard! Without a good teacher, you will study by yourself; without a good family lineage, you will self-study; without a good atmosphere, you will self-discipline; without good conditions, you will create yourself; without a good platform, you will improve yourself. To sum up one word is "fierce"! Only by being "fierce" enough to yourself can you break through, top the top, and surpass.
Chen Liwen is creating new works
"Artists are generally very emotional, casual and willful, but I have always attached great importance to strategic awareness and rational thinking. A talent that cannot cash in on value is not a true talent. Early and fierce personal management of time, finance, skills, emotions, action, etc., adhere to long-termism and compound interest effect, you can taste the dividends brought by time. Chen Liwen said, "For me personally, entrepreneurship is a 'side business', one of the links in a diversified life; the purpose of entrepreneurship is not only to make money, but also hope to show more social value in the field I am good at." Congratulations to all of you! ”
