Won the International Outstanding Entrepreneur Award in 2000;

He is a world-famous business tycoon;

He is the pride of hipsters.

The name Li Ka-shing has shocked the world since 1970s, especially the real estate and financial circles. The name Li Ka-shing means wealth to Hong Kong people. Li Ka-shing's hard-working, honest and tireless spirit of personal struggle, unique judgment, bold decision-making power, and good at employing people constitute the factors of success. So he also has the titles of Superman Lee, Big Brother Cheng, Plastic Flower King, Real Estate Raptor and Real Estate King.

Li Ka-shing was born in a scholarly family in a busy street in Chaozhou. Smart and detached from childhood, he studied hard. From 65438 to 0939, the Japanese invaders invaded Chaozhou and went to Hong Kong with their parents. They experienced war, poverty and famine, and also cultivated the spirit of hard work. 1950, Mr. Li Ka-shing, 22, named after the mother river of the Chinese nation, founded "Changjiang Plastic Factory" to express his childlike innocence. After decades of efforts, in 1988, he has owned five major companies, including Changjiang Industry, Hutchison Whampoa and HEC, as well as more than 100 affiliated companies and more than 50 joint ventures, forming a well-funded and powerful "economic kingdom" of Li. Last year, he himself became one of the five richest people in the world. Mr. Li has gone from noodle restaurant to the world, and his position is so prominent, but he is still so humble and peaceful. On one occasion, Mr. Li attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Shantou University. Originally, as the founder of Shantou University, he should have written his name on the first page of the VIP roster, but Mr. Li didn't and signed his name on the third page. In this banquet, regardless of his position, he toasted, shook hands and talked with every guest, without making people feel "isolated" at all. Mr Li Ka-shing is one of the few rich people in the world, but he is not arrogant and extravagant. He still insists on frugality, honesty, health, indifference, quietness and unpretentious.

What is even more admirable is that although Mr. Li Ka-shing has achieved great success, he still does not forget his motherland and hometown. He once said with emotion: "I have lived in Hong Kong for decades and miss my country and my hometown every day." "As a descendant of the Chinese people, I must constantly strive for self-improvement. When I am developed, I will not forget my home country and serve my country in the future." Mr. Li knows that "the importance of education is related to the prosperity of the country, the rise and fall of society, and the advance and retreat of the times". It is a pity that Chaozhou, with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers and a population of tens of millions, did not have an institution of higher learning before the 1980s. To this end, he began to invest in Shantou University on 1980. By the end of last year, * * * had donated1200 million yuan, built a 360,000-square-meter school building, set up nine colleges of arts, science, engineering, medicine, law and business and 16 departments, and delivered them to the whole country and Chaozhou. At the fifth Council meeting of Shantou University held last year, Mr. Li sincerely expressed his sincere respect and gratitude to everyone who grew up in Shantou University. Here, I can't help but think of a sentence that Teacher Li once said in Shantou University: "Achievement plus modesty is the most valuable."

Li Ka-shing's personality saving power is lofty, and his achievements are beyond anyone's reach. In June last year, he won the 2000 International Outstanding Entrepreneur Award, and Mr. Li Ka-shing was the first China entrepreneur to win this honor. Mr Fraser, Chairman of the Nomination Committee for the Grand Prize, said in presenting the award: Mr. Li Ka-shing is one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world, and he deserves this award.

This great entrepreneur, despite numerous awards, still regards himself as an ordinary person, a citizen and a businessman, and tries his best to serve the society. For decades, he has donated more than HK$ 3.8 billion to all sectors of society. In his words: "If we just blindly pursue money and power and ignore the noble sentiments of human beings, then all progress and wealth creation will become meaningless."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the banquet ended. I don't remember what I ate at the banquet, but Mr. Li Ka-shing's demeanor was deeply implanted in my mind, which left an unforgettable impression on reporters. I also know how to live in this world so as not to waste my life.
