Zong Qinghou, a legendary figure from Jiangsu, was born in the torrent of the post-war era. Although his family is the descendant of a famous family, his growth path was not smooth. His father worked in the Kuomintang but later lost his job, and his mother was a teacher, and the family of five barely survived. He was the eldest and the breadwinner of the family.
In 1978, Zong Qinghou, who was already in his thirties, returned to his mother's original workplace, a carton factory. There, he met an old teacher, who took a fancy to his character and honesty, so he introduced him to a partner. That object is Shi Youzhen. Although she is four years younger than Zong Qinghou, she is also an out-and-out life warrior. The two met late and fell in love at first sight, starting a touching love story.
On May Day in 1980, they tied the knot and started a new life. After getting married, they ushered in their only daughter Zong Fuli, Shi Youzhen is not only the pillar of the family, but also Zong Qinghou's right-hand man in his career. They accompany each other all the way and face the ups and downs of life together.
But Zong Qinghou's entrepreneurial road was not smooth sailing. At the age of 42, he started as a small vendor on a tricycle. Every day, I shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city, and work hard. His difficult entrepreneurial figure still remains in people's memories today.
Wahaha rose under the struggle of Zong Qinghou. He spent his life developing a small distribution department of only three people into the food and beverage giant it is today. Although the business has become valuable, his life is still simple. Mobile phones and watches are ordinary things, not pursuing luxury, but only contributing to the country and the people.
Even though he is worth tens of billions, he still maintains a simple life. In the interview, he confessed his worries, and his only wish is to see his daughter happily married. This parental affection is moving.
However, Zong Qinghou's death gave her daughter Zong Fuli a heavy responsibility. The 50 billion industry needs her to inherit, which is a huge challenge and a huge pressure.
Zong Qinghou, a real national entrepreneur, his life is an interpretation of struggle and adherence to the feelings of his family and country. His deeds will always inspire us and let us remember this great gentleman!
