Zong Qinghou's sudden death triggered a wave of condolences online and offline. Among them, there are old subordinates who are deeply favored by him, there are ** people who usually interview and contact him, and there are also members of Zongzong's original "joint sales body", and more are many ordinary people who have never met. If those who usually intersect with Mr. Zong are moved by his personality charm, then the commemoration of more ordinary people has created a miracle in Chinese history. That is, for 5,000 years, tens of thousands of miles, there has never been an entrepreneur who has been so highly praised by the people. This is equivalent to directly breaking the thousand-year-old rule of Chinese history. Since the founding of Confucianism, Shang is the most humble class, and the big-concept businessman has never been regarded as a profession that is beneficial to the country. This is because, under the traditional farming civilization, land and cultivation are the first of wealth, and industrialists and businessmen are regarded as bad people who do not produce, and the saying of "no business and no traitor" is the best footnote. Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, in order to clear up the suspicion, defiled himself by doing business; Lü Buwei became a wealthy businessman in the world, invested in Qin Shi Huang, although he helped Qin unify and achieved the "Lü Spring and Autumn Period", he was also exterminated. Shen Wansan, who was in later generations, stood on the wrong team to support Zhang Shicheng, and later came to his senses, but he was regarded as an enemy by Ming Taizu, and he inevitably fell into the disaster of raiding his family. In modern times, Hu Xueyan was defeated in the political struggle, although he was rich and rivaled the country, but he did not end well. Even Sheng Xuanhuai, a pioneer of foreign affairs, was ...... by the peopleFor thousands of years, few businessmen have died well. 
Zong Qinghou did not appear out of thin air, he is the epitome of modern Chinese history, and he himself has said more than once that it is the times that have made him. He has a family background that can be proud enough, for example, his ancestor, who was the one who shouted "Cross the river!" River! "Zong Ze, a famous anti-gold general who died in anger. His grandfather, Zong Jixian, served as Zhang Zuolin's financial manager and became a lieutenant general in Nanjing. Her mother was the daughter of Gege in the late Qing Dynasty, and her father died early. In the turbulent years, the mother pulled up the five children of Zong Qinghou's brothers and sisters. Born in 1945, Zong Qinghou listened to the stories of his elders and grew up in poverty, dropping out of middle school to work to subsidize his family. I have dried salt, planted tea, burned kilns, cut rice, and when I returned to the city to replace my mother and enter the school-run factory, I was already middle-aged and had suffered all the hardships I could endure. He, Lu Guanqiu, and Feng Gensheng are known as the three great masters of Zhejiang merchants, and they all have the same characteristics. If it weren't for the reform and opening up, he might have been depressed in the school-run factory and would have died as a retired worker. In the spring breeze overnight, he borrowed 140,000 yuan to contract the sales department, which was his last gamble, and the result was successful. He rode a tricycle around selling books, rulers and other stationery, and completed the contracted task twice as much that year. The 40 million spirit of Zhejiang businessmen of "going through thousands of mountains and rivers, trying to do everything possible, speaking thousands of words, and enduring thousands of hardships" is vividly embodied. 
An old man from Hangzhou who came to mourn Zong Qinghou said something to the camera, "The evaluation before death is not important, but the reputation after death is really important." As a new Zhejiang businessman who grew up after the reform and opening up, Zong Qinghou is completely different from his predecessors, with maturity, low-key and feelings after going through hardships. Said that he is mature, because he joined the party very early, has always been consistent with the party politically, has never had a problem politically, in the Dawa dispute, and Danone fought 26 lawsuits around the world, without losing a single lawsuit, carrying the banner of the national beverage brand, in line with the political correctness of national capital in this era. When he was praised by the party, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and he was countless times happier than he was the richest man. It is said that he is low-key because he lives a simple life, refuses to be extravagant, and stays in the six-story old and dilapidated headquarters in Wahaha for 30 years. After becoming the richest man, he spends less than 50,000 yuan a year, often wears a pair of cloth shoes, gets a haircut in a community barber shop, and is often photographed traveling alone on high-speed rail and economy class. It is said that he has feelings because he always takes good care of the people around him. There was a university teacher who jumped to Wahaha, which had just been established in the early 90s, and Zong Qinghou immediately gave him a suite. With the merger of a small private factory with the Hangzhou state-owned cannery, he did not fire a single employee, and they still receive more than 10,000 retirement salaries in the factory. A little girl choked up in front of the camera and said that Wahaha has been giving benefits to the employees of the Uptown education system. In addition, every year Wahaha takes out a large amount of money for public welfare, and there is almost no publicity, until the college students who won the Wahaha scholarship mourn Zong Qing in the circle of friends, people know that the Wahaha Spring Breeze Student Aid Action has funded tens of thousands of college students. 
Not to mention, Zong Qinghou's original "joint sales system" connects contractors, dealers and ordinary small shops on the streets and alleys, providing millions of people with a livelihood and solving the livelihood problem, which is a remarkable achievement. There are endless voices of crusade against the so-called capital on the Internet, but from Zong Qinghou, we can see the important positive role played by capital. In the final analysis, capital is only a factor of production, and by combining it with technology and talent, it can create huge economic and social benefits. Therefore, capital is neutral, and what role it plays and whether it can benefit society depends entirely on how capital is used. People's commemoration of Zong Qinghou answers this question. Our people have been able to realize that business is conducive to social progress, realize the great contribution of private enterprises to society, and no longer regard private entrepreneurs as beasts, which is a great ideological revolution.
