Turning over the past anniversaries of the Peihua Foundation, from the "Two-Year Anniversary Commemorative Special Issue" in 1984 to the "25th Anniversary Commemorative Special Issue" in 2007, we can see that a group of young people in the Peihua team, who were originally full of style, energy, and vitality, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yangtze River, crossed the desert, walked through the West Exit, broke into the Guandong, went north to the south, and behind the front line, they were all there, but as the pages of history turned over, these young people who were jokingly called "Fanshuzai" at that time were all there. Nowadays, it has gradually entered the middle-aged and elderly, which makes people sigh that "spring comes and goes, and the head is white". However, looking back on decades of struggle experience, cultivating and sowing seeds, cultivating oneself and others, and doing our best, although we have paid for our youth, why should we complain or regret it?
They are all Hong Kong's elite. Everyone has a wealth of experience, there are endless stories behind them, not only Hong Kong people want to know what kind of group of people they are, what kind of role they have played in the era of China's reform and opening up, what their thinking, character, temperament and work are, and those who have received their help and benefited from the Peihua Education Fund want to know about them.
On the occasion of Peihua's 20th anniversary, Lee Shau Kee's dedication specially praised a group of committee members who sacrificed their youth for Peihua's cause, saying: "Especially Zhenhuan, Jiachun, Min gang, Shuqing, Gongzheng, Jinyi, Jingchang... The members expressed their sincere thanks, because they worked tirelessly to win the trust, support and praise of friends from all walks of life."
He Mingsi wrote in an article: "Zhen Huan's father is Fok Ying Tung, Jia Chun's father is Zheng Yutong, Jia Cheng's father is Li Shaoji, Shu Qing's father is Wu Chande, Mingang's father is Wang Huasheng, Jingchang's father is Hu Hanhui, Liang Aishi's uncle is the famous painter Huang Miaozi, Hou Zhen's father is He Tian, Fang Wenxiong's father is Fang Runhua, Si Mei, Jin Yi, Chen Bin, Gong Zheng, Kang Rui... Their parents took the lead in participating in the construction of the interior at the beginning of reform and opening up. ”
Looking back on the past, He Mingsi could not help but sigh: "Many of them went to foreign countries at a young age, and what they learned and came into contact with were Western culture, habits and life, and they did not have any understanding of their hometown. Due to the relationship between their fathers, most of them have inherited the friendship of their ancestors. This kind of feeling cannot be seen or touched, but it has a long history, branches and leaves are connected, and it lasts for generations. ”

Huo Zhenhuan is the chairman of Peihua's standing committee, he is the second son of Fok Yingdong, at the beginning Fok Yingdong did not directly participate in Peihua's work, is to provide a broader stage for the younger generation to show, to practice the ideal of "tree people". Huo Zhenhuan is enthusiastic about his work and has a good reputation among his colleagues.
A rich child like Huo Zhenhuan, born with a golden spoon, most people will think that without personal effort, everything can be prepared for me. In fact, their advantage is only that they do not have to bother with the first bucket of gold, but to carry forward their father's business, on top of the tall building, and then to the next floor, the effort they have made is not less than others to earn the first bucket of gold, and the pressure is even greater.
Born in 1949, Huo Zhenhuan attended secondary school in the United Kingdom in his early years, and after graduation, he was admitted to the University of British Columbia in Canada, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Business Administration. In 1973, Fok returned to Hong Kong to work for Yourong Limited, founded by his father, as the managing director of the company. At the time, father and son shared an office. Huo Yingdong cultivated his heart to cultivate and refine, which showed great clarity. Huo Zhenhuan tried a small knife and established a perfect financial system in the company, showing his management talents and impressing his father.
Since then, he has assisted his father in taking care of the family business, including real estate, construction, shipping and transportation, hotels and other fields, Fok Yingdong initially built a Zhongshan hot spring hotel and golf course in the mainland, Huo Zhenhuan followed around, under the teaching of his father's ear to face life, learn the skills of doing business and dealing with people, and deepen his understanding of the mainland. These were of great benefit to him in his future chairmanship of Peihua's Standing Committee. Huo Zhenhuan not only looks exactly like his father, but also inherits his keen economic acumen and simple style.

Over the years, the impression of Huo Zhenhuan by the outside world has been mostly introverted, calm, loyal, simple, astute, enterprising, and cautious and conservative, in fact, he is a person who is "both civil and military". When he was in middle school, he began to learn judo and karate, switched to tai chi after going to university, and began to learn Neijia Yiquan after returning to Hong Kong, practicing for more than 20 years, with high achievements, and served as the president of the Hong Kong Yiquan Society.
Huo Zhenhuan can be said to be a business master who knows martial arts, or he can be said to be a martial arts master who can do business, and he can integrate the two into one, and he is a master of the master. Therefore, some people say that he applied the four or two thousand pounds in tai chi to Peihua's work, although it is a joke, it is not unreasonable.

When Peihua was founded, Huo Zhenhuan was 33 years old, and now decades of time have passed in the blink of an eye, and it has passed the age of ear shun. He is a very responsible person, meticulous in his work, many of Peihua's projects, are dedicated to other things, running on the front line, often to preside over the opening ceremony or graduation ceremony of the training class, investigation and research, solicit opinions, summarize experience, encourage students, and even personally send the tutor to the location of the training class, for this reason to go to remote places such as the northwest and Xinjiang.
This spirit of responsibility has won the praise of his father and friends, and Peihua colleagues can seriously promote each project for decades, maintaining the cohesion and high morale of the team, which obviously has something to do with his personal charm.
Liu Jingzhi described the chairman of the Standing Committee as follows: "Mr. Huo Zhenhuan is a practical figure who does not like to sing high notes. I asked him if the fund's work took up a lot of his time and energy, and he replied: 'It is more important to be responsible for finance and review, and as chairman of the Standing Committee, my work is more important than that of a public relations, but I have to attend meetings and events frequently, and there is also some pressure in my work.' From this response, Mr. Huo Zhenhuan's humble side is shown. ”

Liu Jingzhi laughed and said: "If according to him, the heads of all institutions are doing public relations, then the president of the United States is also doing public relations." Indeed, the public relations work involves the foundation's external relations coordination and image management, how to establish and maintain the public's trust, all information dissemination, consultation, planning, implementation and service, all-encompassing, from the central leadership to the trainees in a poor mountainous area, every donor and beneficiary, he must take into account, can not be ignored. Without the patience and cultivation that is not bothered, it is absolutely difficult to be competent.
And Huo Zhenhuan can persist for decades without slacking off, and can reconcile Ding Nai, lead the group, and do a good job, which is not easy, because he has always had a belief in his heart. He said: "People are the driving force for promoting social development, and cultivating talents can not only help national construction, but also allow us, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, who were born in Hong Kong and educated in Europe and the United States, to increase their understanding of the country and the nation." ”
