This is the highest level funeral ever held in Hong Kong and Macao
The country's leaders sent the alliance
Hong Kong's first chief executive and several vice-state dignitaries personally supported the spirit
The coffin is covered with a brightly colored five-star red flag
The only red businessman in the country to make an exception for a state funeral
At his funeral
Even bigwigs such as Stanley Ho, Li Ka-shing, and Lee Shau Kee had to step aside
Without him, China's progress could be delayed by a decade
He is Fok Yingdong
1950 The United States manipulates the United Nations to impose a blockade and embargo on China
More than 1,700 strategic goods are classified as embargoed
As a result, New China has been severely suppressed in foreign trade and has struggled to move forward
At this critical juncture
It was Fok Yingdong who risked his life to break through the blockade
Sending strategic materials such as automobiles, machinery and equipment, gasoline, textiles and so on to the mainland
But he became a thorn in the side of the British government in Hong Kong
It has been suppressed for decades
Late 70s
He continues to answer the call of the state
Under pressure, we must also invest in projects such as the White Swan Hotel and the Luoxi Bridge
After that, he tried to exclude the crowd
Spend 1.8 billion yuan in assets to develop Nansha Island in Guangzhou
After the appreciation of Nansha Island
But he is selfless
Directly donated the land to the charity foundation for 1 yuan
For decades afterward
Or Mr. Lao is even more involved in sports, medical care, education and other fields
The cumulative donation is more than 15 billion
To know in the 90s
China's foreign exchange reserves are only 55 billion
And Fok Yingdong alone donated a quarter
In addition to donations
Fok Yingdong's contribution to sports is even more worthy of the temple
He has spent more than ten years of hard work to help Beijing bid for the Olympic Games
Spend 200 million to build the Water Cube Project
It can be said that without Fok Yingdong, there would be no Beijing Olympics
He never forgot that he was a Chinese
So he spent his life proving his patriotic determination with deeds
It's just that he dedicated his life to the Motherland
Stick to China's sports cause for life
But it did not last until the opening day of the Beijing Olympics
Passed away forever on October 28, 2006
On the day of the funeral
His coffin was covered with a brightly colored five-star red flag
Hong Kong and Macao flew flags at half-mast to show their condolences
Mr. Huo left
But his patriotism did not stop
After Huo Lao left, his son Huo Zhenting inherited his mantle
Continue on the path of supporting sports
Not only fulfilled Fok Yingdong's long-cherished wish to bid for the Olympic Games
It is also committed to passing on the spirit of sportsmanship to future generations
Under his upbringing
The whole family has high respect for China's sports cause
His son Huo Qigang not only became the chairman of Asian esports
It has also successfully brought e-sports, an emerging sport, into the Asian Games
Daughter-in-law Guo Jingjing still sticks to her sports career after retiring
While holding important positions in the Sports Bureau
Still insisting on doing public welfare
Both economically and spiritually
They are all doing their best to contribute to the motherland
And Huo Lao's patriotism
It also continues from one person to one family
Perhaps this is true patriotism
