Don't chill the hearts of true patriots, otherwise political speculators are bound to prevail.On May 18, 1999, at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, the two old gentlemen met and chatted alone, and the photographers at the scene captured the precious scene when the two shook hands.
At that time, the two old people in ** were both old and old, but they were still in good spirits, and even after 24 years, they could still feel the cordial and friendly atmosphere at that timeAnyone who watched the news broadcasts of that era knew that Mr. Li was an outstanding representative of patriotism and love for his hometown.
As early as October 1993, when ** met with Mr. Lee, he praised him as ".A true patriot”。(Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, 1995.)8.7）
What does it mean to be a "true patriot"?It refers to those who silently use practical actions to love the country , and they have made tangible contributions to society in the fields of economy , education , and medical care , which is significantly different from pseudo patriots , because pseudo patriots are only good at standing in line and shouting slogans and going to the line .
Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country.
Today's post-80s and post-90s generations may not have the impression and will not understand that in that era when they were poor and white and foreign capital was extremely scarce, it was the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong who were called "capitalists" at that time who made indelible contributions to the economic rise of the motherland.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev once lamented that the reason why economic reform failed in the Soviet Union was because the Soviet Union did not have Hong Kong.
By the end of 2021, Mr. Li Ka-shing had donated more than RMB30 billion, of which more than 87% was spent in the Greater China region
It is necessary to emphasize that nearly 1 billion yuan was donated in the 80s of the last century, and about 2.5 billion yuan was donated in the 90s of the last century, and the actual value of this money was not the same as today.
From Shantou University, Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou University School of Medicine, many affiliated hospitals, Chaozhou Hospital, Chao'an Hospital, Peking University Library, hospices all over the country, the Yangtze River Scholars Program that supports academics, and the Yangtze River New Milestone Program that supports the disabled, countless public welfare deeds are vividly remembered
In recent years, such a great Chinese philanthropist with deep affection for his children has been repeatedly attacked in the social network of Chinese mainland, and even people with ulterior motives have unnecessarily poured dirty water on Li Ka-shing's body about the "shared area" and the "off-plan housing pre-sale system" that was clearly founded by Fok Ying-tung in the Champagne Building, and even worse, has disregarded the fact and dwarfed Li Ka-shing, who operates diversified industries such as ports, telecommunications, petroleum, infrastructure, medicine, and supermarkets, into a "real estate developer."
Will this hurt the hearts of the vast number of overseas Chinese?
You must know that many Southeast Asian overseas Chinese leaders such as Zheng Hongbiao, the founder of Public Bank Malaysia, Li Wenzheng, the founder of Indonesia's Lippo Group, and the richest man in Malaysia, Guo Henian, all regard Mr. Li Ka-shing as one of the people they admire the most in their lives.
What is urgently needed in today's economic situation is precisely the heart-to-heart connection between overseas Chinese businessmen and the motherland.
It is a top priority to positively affirm the contribution of the Chinese businessmen led by Mr. Li Ka-shing, appease the investment confidence of the vast number of overseas Chinese businessmen, and unite all the forces that can be united.
