On the Internet, it is a common phenomenon that billionaires seem to be in the spotlight, and billionaires seem to be difficult to notice.
However, in fact, having a net worth of more than 100 million is already the pinnacle of life. The billionaire mentioned today is not well known for his "only" assets of 800 million. But his contribution far surpasses that of many rich people with a net worth of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
His name is Zhuang Bao, an overseas Chinese, who was awarded the title of "Dato" by Malaysia for his great contributions. Sentiment towards China is no different from that towards Malaysia.
In 1931, when the political situation was turbulent, many coastal residents moved south. Zhuang Meifa, from Daigang Village, Mountainside Street, Quangang District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, also decided to leave his homeland and embark on a trip to Nanyang.
When he first arrived in a foreign country, he did not receive a good education, so he had to sell coolies and load and unload goods for ships to make a living.
However, wealth does not come from birth, but from hard work. Zhuang Meifa is hardworking and intelligent, rich in business, and filial piety is even more obvious.
Not only did he send money home regularly, but he also built spacious houses for his parents and family members to live in.
In 1938, the motherland was in turmoil, and Nanyang was relatively peaceful.
She returned to her hometown and took her wife to Malaysia to live together. A year later, they welcomed their son, Zhuang Bao. Zhuang Bao is the only child in the family and carries all the expectations of his parents.
The father's regret in education is naturally reluctant to pass it on to the heirs. Zhuang Bao studied at key universities in China, and was later sent to Australia, where he graduated from the University of New South Wales with a major in architecture.
In 1965, at the age of 26, Zhuang Bao signed a contract with an international construction firm and became the first Asian partner. With his talent in designing university hospitals and medical campuses, he has made a name for himself in the architectural community of Southeast Asia.
At the age of 32, he won the double championship of the Malaysian and Singapore architectural competitions.
Since then, he has been favored by foundations around the world and has been involved in the design of several large-scale architectural projects.
However, despite his success, Zhuang Bao has always cherished a deep attachment to China.
In 1983, he finally got his chance to go to Hong Kong. China** plans to build a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay to solve Hong Kong's power shortage problem.
Zhuang Bao was invited to serve as an overseas representative and actively raised funds. He successfully raised US$2.5 billion for the Daya Bay nuclear power plant, significantly lowering interest rates, while lending US$5 billion to the Bank of China.
Chong Pao has not only earned a reputation in the construction industry, but also a thriving business in Hong Kong. In 2005, he returned to Malaysia and successfully turned around a loss-making company.
For his outstanding contribution to the country, Zhuang Bao was awarded the title of "Dato" and became the pride of Malaysia.
On February 28, 2021, Zhuang Bao passed away. All three of his daughters became actors, but they were of good character and did not take pride in their wealth.
Zhuang Bao never forgot his father's words all his life and did his best to dedicate himself to China. He is the pride of Malaysia and the pride of China.
