Renounce your citizenship and become a U.S. citizen
In 1992, Zhang Xin, who was only 25 years old, resolutely left his motherland and went to work on Wall Street in the United States. As a Chinese girl from an ordinary family, she stood out from the foreign company with her talent and diligence, and quickly became an important person in the company's investment business in China.
At that time, the reform and opening up policy led to the upsurge of foreign investment in China, and Zhang Xin was full of confidence and expectation for the future of the motherland.
With keen insight and accurate investment vision, Zhang Xin's career has continued to climb and earn a lot of dollars. Just when her career was taking off, a college student named Pan Shiyi caught her attention.
Pan Shiyi was born in the countryside, and with his own diligence and determination, he has achieved gratifying results in the field of real estate investment. The two hit it off at first sight, quickly fell in love, and finally entered the palace of marriage.
Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi co-founded SOHO, which has quickly become a landmark enterprise in China's urban construction with its advanced architectural concepts and excellent management capabilities.
According to statistics, the couple can create a wealth of 1.6 billion yuan in China every year. However, just as her career was booming, Zhang Xin made a shocking decision - she renounced her Chinese citizenship and became an authentic American citizen.
This behavior has sparked widespread doubts and controversy in Chinese society, and people wonder why she is so "elbow outward".
What drove Zhang Xin to make such a choice? Was it because of his preference for the United States, or was it to pave the way for his children's future? Or was there another hidden motive? These questions have always hung over Zhang Xin's head, leaving the viewer puzzled.
As an authentic Chinese, why she finally chose to give up her motherland nationality and become a U.S. citizen makes people question her patriotism.
Donation of 600 million to Harvard
In 2014, Zhang Xin's son was successfully admitted to the world-famous Harvard University. As a loving mother, Zhang Xin is naturally extremely pleased and proud of her son's excellence.
However, what was unexpected was that she did not hesitate to donate a huge amount of 600 million yuan to Harvard University. This move caused an uproar in Chinese society and won many criticisms and doubts.
What's more, some people directly accused Zhang Xin and his wife of "eating inside and outside". They are keen to make charitable donations to American colleges and universities, but they are ignoring their home country.
As entrepreneurs who have amassed huge wealth in China, they should give more back to society and pay attention to domestic education and public welfare, rather than excessive capital flow overseas.
As these controversies continue to heat up, Mr. Pan Shiyi has also been forced to stand up and defend himself and his wife. He said in an interview that the donation was not intended to sponsor Harvard University, but to support Chinese students studying at the university.
He tried to salvage his family's reputation with this explanation, but this did not completely quell the criticism.
There is still a perception that even to help Chinese students should prioritize funding to domestic universities rather than "giving" them to foreign countries. After all, it was China's reform and opening up policy and relaxed policy environment that made Zhang Xin and his wife's career take off and accumulate wealth.
It is disgraceful to transfer this work overseas now.
The controversy is not only about the personal reputation of Zhang Xin and his wife, but also about the overall image of Chinese entrepreneurs. There are persistent doubts about their motives, fearing that this may be a stopgap measure to lay the groundwork for the future transfer of assets overseas.
Now, the couple is undoubtedly saddled with a heavy moral yoke and must always be cautious about those sharp accusations.
Zhang Xin and her husband Pan Shiyi's entrepreneurial legend
For the couple Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi, their life experience is undoubtedly full of legends. From the initial acquaintance, falling in love, to working together to create a business, and finally accumulating an amazing fortune, the whole process is legendary.
Born in rural Gansu, Pan Shiyi has grown from an ordinary college student to a leader in the real estate industry with his diligence and determination.
At first, he only relied on meager funds to invest in real estate in Hainan, but in just one year, he won a huge fortune through his wisdom and courage and took a key step in his career.
Just when Pan Shiyi was gaining momentum, he met Zhang Xin, a Chinese woman on Wall Street. The two hit it off at first sight and quickly fell in love. Zhang Xin took a fancy to Pan Shiyi's courage and development prospects, and devoted himself to his career without hesitation.
With Zhang Xin's investment vision and Pan Shiyi's execution, SOHO quickly became a landmark enterprise in China's urban construction.
The birth of SOHO marks a major breakthrough in the careers of Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi. They have gradually shifted from the initial single-housing development to a new model of renting out office buildings, and this innovative business idea has brought them continuous and rich returns.
According to statistics, the couple can create a wealth of up to 1.6 billion yuan in China every year, and they are like a realistic version of the "charter father" and "charter wife".
However, just when the couple's career took off, it caused a lot of attention and controversy from the outside world. What drove Zhang Xin to renounce her Chinese citizenship and become an American citizen? Was it because of her preference for the United States, or to pave the way for her children's future? Or was it to better transfer her wealth overseas? These questions still hang over Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi's heads, leaving others puzzled.
Throughout the entrepreneurial process, Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi helped each other and achieved each other, and finally emerged in the real estate industry and accumulated a staggering fortune.
But at the same time, their transnational behavior has also sparked widespread social controversy, and it is not known what their next step will be. In any case, the couple's life story is undoubtedly full of legends and deserves to be savored.
The common phenomenon of China's wealthy "eating inside and outside".
Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi are not alone. In China, many wealthy entrepreneurs have extended a generous helping hand to American colleges and universities and made large-scale donations. This phenomenon has aroused widespread social concern and discussion.
For example, Zhong Xinjia, a Chinese battery manufacturing entrepreneur, made a huge profit with his company's first rare earth battery. However, when his fortune peaked, he did not hesitate to donate $70 million to a university located in California, USA.
Another example is Ronnie Chan, president of Hang Lung Group, who has donated as much as 5 to Harvard University and American Medical University. A huge amount of $500 million.
It's puzzling why these Chinese billionaires are so keen to donate to U.S. universities.
It is generally believed that this kind of behavior of "eating inside and outside" is worth pondering. As entrepreneurs who have amassed a huge fortune in China, they should give more back to their country, pay attention to the development of domestic education, and serve their communities and hometowns.
But the reality is that they poured most of their money overseas, and people can't help but feel that their love for their homeland has become indifferent.
Perhaps, these tycoons are not completely ignoring their hometowns, but simply want to exert their influence through a broader perspective.
But it is undeniable that their behavior has indeed had a negative impact on society, triggering criticism of the lack of patriotism among Chinese entrepreneurs.
Criticism of the lack of patriotism among domestic entrepreneurs
For Chinese entrepreneurs like Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi, what they did undoubtedly triggered a strong response from all walks of life. There is a general perception that wealthy businessmen who have succeeded in China should give more back home rather than invest a lot of money overseas.
This criticism of Chinese entrepreneurs' "eating inside and out" behavior stems from people's general concern about the lack of patriotism among entrepreneurs. Many people believe that entrepreneurs should use their accumulated wealth at home to support domestic education, public welfare and other causes, rather than simply making large donations to foreign universities.
After all, it is China's reform and opening-up policy that has created opportunities for their development, and they should express more gratitude to the motherland.
Worse still, there are suspicions that there may be other hidden motives behind the actions of these entrepreneurs. For example, whether they are preparing to move their assets overseas in the future, or whether they are trading it for status and voice in the United States? These speculations call into question their patriotism.
Of course, there are also those who believe that everyone has the right to decide how to use their property, and that it is not illegal for entrepreneurs to invest their money in overseas universities. But the question is what kind of considerations they have in mind to make this choice.
If it is only to show off one's wealth and social status, it is undoubtedly a kind of neglect and neglect of domestic education.
Therefore, people generally call for Chinese entrepreneurs to establish stronger patriotic feelings, focus more attention and resources on the country, and contribute to the development of the motherland.
They should focus more on how to improve the welfare of their employees, rather than simply making superficial charitable donations to foreign universities. Only in this way can they truly be recognized and respected by society.
Pan Shiyi's efforts to salvage their reputation
In the face of strong criticism from public opinion, Mr. Pan Shiyi finally had to stand up and explain himself and his wife Zhang Xin.
In an interview, he sought to clarify that the donation to Harvard University was not motivated by a simple preference for the United States, but rather by a group of Chinese students studying at the university.
Pan Shiyi said that their original intention in doing so was to create more opportunities for outstanding students in China to receive high-quality education. After all, Harvard University, as the world's top institution of higher learning, has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for China.
If they can provide financial support for these students through their own strength, they will undoubtedly give back to the country and spread the power of China.
However, this explanation did not completely quell the doubts and accusations of the outside world. There is still a perception that even when funding Chinese students, they should put more money into domestic colleges and universities, rather than "giving" them to U.S. educational institutions.
After all, all this wealth accumulation comes from China, and it is reasonable to contribute more to the country.
It can be said that Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi are facing huge pressure from public opinion. Not only do they have to defend their "eating inside and out" behavior, but they also have to work hard to save their reputation in society.
To some extent, the controversy is not only about their personal reputations, but also about shaping the overall image of Chinese entrepreneurs.
The more you try to explain, the more questions you raise. There have been suspicions about the Zhangs' motives, fearing that it might be a stopgap measure to lay the groundwork for the future transfer of assets overseas.
At the moment, the couple is undoubtedly saddled with a heavy moral yoke and must always be cautious in dealing with those sharp accusations.
Overall, Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi's efforts to save their reputations have struggled to make a breakthrough. The pressure of public opinion has been hanging over them, forcing them to constantly search for reasonable explanations in order to quell society's doubts.
It can be said that this controversy has seriously affected their social reputation, and they need to spend a lot of energy to deal with it.
