World-class inventor.
Professor Lai Huiwu, the president of the 505 Group Company, the inventor of the 505 Miracle Vitality Bag, and the winner of the Inventor Award of the World Invention Expo, has been living in Seattle for more than ten years. His life story is legendary, from the pinnacle of business in China to a quiet life in the United States to continuing to run the affairs of the 505 Group in China, each stage of which shows his multifaceted nature as an innovator, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
Professor Lai's life story began as a teenager when he worked at Huxian No. 2 Middle School in Xi'an's Yiyi District, which was an important part of his early life. It was here that he developed a deep interest in Chinese herbal medicine, which would have a profound impact on his later career.
During his time at Huxian No. 2 Middle School, Lai Huiwu had already shown his leadership skills and innovative spirit. He was the director of the school's mechanical and electrical plant, not only making the factory run well, but also leading the students in various practical activities. His efforts have not only increased the visibility of the school, but also brought significant economic benefits to the local community, making it the focus of local coverage.
Subsequently, Lai Huiwu successively served as the confidential secretary of the Huxian County Party Committee, the secretary of the office of the Xianyang District Administrative Office, and at the age of 33, he served as the deputy director of the Public Transport Department of the Huxian County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the County ** Economic Committee. At this stage, his political career seemed promising.
Professor Lai Huiwu grew up frail and sickly, which led him to develop a strong interest in medicine and health. He is convinced that finding a prescription that can lead to a bad disease is equivalent to discovering a miracle cure. This belief and determination eventually led him to abandon his political career and devote himself to the development and management of medicines and health products.
Lai Huiwu was deeply inspired by the "Ancient Theory of Innocence" in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics, and devoted himself to the pursuit of how to achieve the goal of health and longevity. He has a deep understanding and emotion of Taoist thought and the philosophy of Chinese medicine. While reading the Neijing, he was deeply influenced by the idea that "all diseases are born from qi", and thus he was inspired by the medical idea of curing diseases before they occur. He visited the people, studied Xi ancient medical books, and studied Chinese herbal medicine in depth to find an effective solution that could cure the disease. Eventually, he discovered the method of "internal and external treatment" and developed his core product, the 505 Divine Power Vitality Bag.
At the age of 38, Lai Huiwu resigned from his job at the Xianyang Municipal Bureau of Commerce and devoted himself to the development and operation of medical and health products. He served as the director of the Xianyang Health Products Factory of the China Elderly Newspaper and the director of the Anti-Aging Research Institute, and began to produce small batches. During this time, his products have received a lot of attention and recognition. Many people have high hopes for traditional medicine, especially in the context of many diseases that modern medicine has not yet been able to achieve.
The 505 Shengong Vitality Bag quickly became popular across the country and became a popular health care product. Professor Lai's office receives a large number of letters every day, asking for and purchasing this miraculous "miracle medicine". Due to the huge demand, he was so busy that he even fell ill in the office. In an interview with Xi'an local**, Professor Lai Huiwu once said that he had no time to rest and relax for many years, and was fully committed to his career. His efforts and dedication have attracted the attention and support of many people in the political, medical and professional circles.

This product quickly gained widespread attention and recognition, and its success not only brought commercial success to Lai Huiwu, but also won him wide respect from the society.

In the face of these challenges, Professor Lai Huiwu has taken active measures to protect the authenticity and effectiveness of brands and products. He has invested heavily in cracking down on counterfeiting, and has cooperated with the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the legal system to crack down on counterfeit products on the market. While these efforts have yielded some results, the 505's market position has been significantly affected.
Over time, China's nutraceutical market has changed. At the beginning of the new century, with the gradual change of consumers' attitudes towards health care products, the market demand for 505 Shengong Vitality Bag began to decline.

He handed over the management of the business to the younger generation and turned his energies to research and philanthropic activities. In Seattle, he lives a relatively quiet life, but still maintains a deep interest in Chinese medicine and the health industry. He has set up an ecological garden on the outskirts of Xi'an, focusing on the cultivation and research of Chinese herbal medicine, hoping to develop more products that are beneficial to human health.
