Features: Wen Shiren, the creator of a $10 billion fortune, an entrepreneur and a tech pioneer. At 50, he vowed to stop being a businessman. How did he achieve his dream of becoming a writer? How did he integrate technology with humanity? How did he address poverty? How did he put his dreams into practice and achieve self-fulfillment? A complete account of his remarkable life story. Interviewees include Lin Bi-li, Xu Teng-xiong, Jiang Bing-kun, Li Shi-qin, and others from both sides of the Taiwan Strait in the fields of industry, economics, academia, and old friends and relatives. They delve into Huangyangchuan in western China, witnessing the transition from an agrarian society to a networked society and how the poor can move towards a better future. Wen Shiren has always been faster-paced than others. When computers worldwide were still using CRT screens, the computers in his Jinbao Company, which he led, had already been replaced with LCD screens. When the East Asian financial crisis struck, he proposed the "Second Miracle of Taiwan in 2001." When everyone was still working in offices, he was already traveling the world with a mobile phone, PDA, and a laptop, treating the global village as his office. When Taiwan was in an economic recession with high unemployment, he proposed the concepts of the new economy, new jobs, and new wealth. When the world faced a surplus, he saw the business opportunities within it. When people were busy profiting from the internet, he advocated the spirit of "altruism," using the internet to address social poverty. He is well-versed in the teachings of Laozi, acts according to Confucian principles, and has a martial-arts-like style. He is an entrepreneur but is tireless in writing books. He is a tech pioneer but possesses a humanistic heart. He is a dreamer but is more practical than anyone else in using the internet to solve problems. He is an engineer but has a compassionate and love. He is a global wanderer who sees the earth as his home but travels the world with a heart full of compassion for the suffering.
