On February 25, 2024, Wahaha Group's official Weibo released a painful obituary, announcing that the company's founder and chairman Zong Qinghou died in Hangzhou at 10:30 on the same day at the age of 79 due to ineffective medical treatment. The news shocked the entire business world, and Wahaha Group lost a legendary leader.
According to the obituary, the Hangzhou Wahaha Group * * * Comrade Zong Qinghou Funeral Committee has scheduled to hold a memorial service at 10 am on February 28, 2024 at the * * Xiasha Base of Hangzhou Wahaha Group (the intersection of No. 10 Street and No. 5 Street, Baiyang Street, Qiantang District, Hangzhou City) to remember this great entrepreneur. At present, Wahaha's official website has been grayed out to express condolences to the company's founder.
Mr. Zong Qinghou has devoted his life to the development of Wahaha Group, gradually developing a small school-run enterprise into a leading enterprise in China's beverage industry. His passing has deprived Wahaha Group not only of an outstanding leader, but also of a visionary entrepreneur in the entire business world.
According to **, Mr. Zong Qinghou has been plagued by lung cancer in recent years, and his condition deteriorated before the Spring Festival and he was admitted to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. Although he has been in poor health, he has always paid attention to the development of Wahaha Group and continued to give advice to the company on his sickbed. On February 22, Wahaha Group issued a statement saying that Mr. Zong Qinghou was undergoing ** due to physical reasons, but his condition was stable, and the group's various businesses were operating normally. However, unfortunately, Mr. Zong Qinghou was unable to overcome the disease in the end and left us forever.
Looking back on Mr. Zong Qinghou's life, he is not only an outstanding entrepreneur, but also a patriot with deep feelings for his family and country. He always puts the interests of the country and the people first, and is committed to promoting the development and prosperity of China's economy. Under his leadership, Wahaha Group has not only become a leading enterprise in China's beverage industry, but also actively engaged in philanthropy and made great contributions to society.
The death of Mr. Zong Qinghou is undoubtedly a huge blow to Wahaha Group. However, we believe that under the leadership of Mr. Zong Qinghou's daughter, Zong Fuli, Wahaha Group will continue to maintain a steady development momentum, continue to explore and innovate, and make greater contributions to the development of China's economy.
Here, we would like to express our deep condolences and high respect to Mr. Zong Qinghou, and wish him all the best. At the same time, we would also like to express our sincere condolences and blessings to all employees of Wahaha Group, hoping that they can turn their grief into strength and continue to work hard for the development of the company.
