Features: This book introduces the inspiring stories of 19 private entrepreneurs (most of whom are members of the People's Political Consultative Conference) who are passionate about philanthropy and contributing to social welfare. These charitable individuals include both local Shanghai-based private entrepreneurs and those who have come to Shanghai for development, as well as several renowned patriotic industrialists from Hong Kong (such as Hong Kong Tycoon Sir Run Run Shaw and Tony Tung). They are engaged in various industries, such as real estate investment and development, automobile manufacturing and sales, clothing export and timber import trade, as well as high-tech (health and nutrition) biopharmaceutical production, among others. Their acts of kindness reflect the clear sense of social responsibility, broad compassion, and far-sighted political vision of some of the first-generation wealthy entrepreneurs. While developing their businesses, boosting the market, and achieving prosperity, they remain rooted in their origins and strive for progress, driven by a patriotic and people-oriented spirit. They do not forget to help vulnerable groups in society, laying a smooth path for shared prosperity through practical actions, and making their own contributions to building a harmonious society.
